  1. Changing Keyboard Layout on Easy Character Accents in Mac OS X? · · Score: 1

    The above comments about option- works. Also, if you would like to change the keyboard layout, you can do that by going to System Preferences->International and select the Input Menu tab. Here you can select from US, US Extended, Unicode Hex Input, Dvorak, Dvorak - QWERTY command and all kinds of other international keyboard layouts. This is under 10.2.6, I think pre 10.2 the tab menu is called Keyboard.

    After selecting the ones you want, a little flag should show up on the menubar which allows easy switching from one input mode to another.

  2. Did the poster read the article? on Is The Software Industry Dead? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The article said nothing about the software industry being dead. This is the quote from Ellison:

    "It's (Silicon Valley) not coming back ... The industry's maturing. The Valley will never be what it was," Ellison said.

    I see nothing that mentions the software industry as dead. He only says the days of super growth are over, which I happen to agree with.

  3. Re:work with windows and macintosh.... on Bitstream/Gnome Release Vera Font Family · · Score: 1

    Anyone install and use these fonts in TextEdit.app for the Mac? I've done this and noticed a problem with the Bitstream Vera Sans Roman. It doesn't show any characters...or I should say, it only shows one. All characters are boxes, at every point size. Anyone else have this problem, or found a workaround.

  4. Qt is thread safe on Why Isn't X11 Thread-Safe? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you link against libqt-mt, you can post events outside of the main event thread. You still shouldn't call methods directly on QtWidgets. But the link should answer all of your questions and solve your problem.
