I had X lock up so completely kill -9 woudn't help. Telneting from other box and issuing "reboot" woudn't help. Linux worked but X was completely dead. Happened only once during last 2.5 years.
Xlib is actually one of the more consistant and predictable C APIs out there. Posix and unix libc really sucks ( with silly names like "creat" - who that fuck thought that one , how hard was to append one more letter ?)
Hey. how do you that with vs ? I know there is API help but it works differently, using separate dialog. Is there a way to have it work online ( class->...) ? Thanks
These tools are worth the asking price.Specially AcceleratedX. However, from the market point of view , you might have a point. It is entirely possible they would make more money if the price was below 100$.
Be specific. When you talk about server market, agreed. But desktop, consumer market is completely different story. There is nothing out there now better than Windows. Mac, so praised for the greateness of its UI ( which I dispute ) technically is even more behind than Windows. What's out there ? Being monopoly has its minuses too. Microsoft cannot abandon their user base and start from scratch (like BeOS.) This is one of the reason why Windows has so much junk in it. Still, given current competition one can hardly find anything more usable than Windows (again, we talkin about typical desktop machine.)
There is no "understanding troughout the industry" as to what you are trying to sell here. Microsoft leverages its monopoly but in a different way. For example their Office team used to come up with new controls etc.. which would be introduced as a standard Windows feature at the time new Office was comming out. This kind of stuff but I yet to hear about undocumented stuff that MS apps are using all the time.
Why default to single click to focus ? How about the fact that 80 % of people are familiar with that? Beside, I and several others prefer this approach. So there you go.. you are in minority and it simply makes sense to set it up that way. You can always change it.

That's unfair comparison. If you wanna fair one look at Qt's "Hello World". ...
But, Motif one would be terrible
Nope. one Petzold book is pretty much all you need.

Dude, plug in your JVM of choice into J++ and be done with it. It really works.

NT is this regard just about as stable as Linux.
Linux will not crash but X often will and with GUI development that's very annoying.
GTK is nastier than MFC. GTK is more like slightly better Win32 API.
With Qt you have a point. MFC doesn't even come close...
Your credibility was insulted when you refered to all Americans as stupid.
You did exactly the same thing you are acussing him of.

However, goverment has no problem with sponsoring art which sole reason is to offend religion ( aka NY case )
Dude, you would love old Soviet Union. ...
You missed your boat

Al Gore is an idiot but Nader ?
You might wanna take trip to Russia and see "Naderism" in its full glory.
Yeah, there is always some stupid ass that will mark anything pro-microsoft down. ...
I understand your frustration
Yes, but the fact remains. IE is better product than anything Netscape ever had.
Quicken, my friend, did the impossible.
... I can't find any so you might have a point here.
They beated MS stuff for years despite OS bundling etc...
But beyond that
Sucks as what ?
Server OS , desktop OS , multimedia machine ?
Compared to what ?
There is no "understanding troughout the industry" as to what you are trying to sell here. .. which would be introduced as a standard Windows feature at the time new Office was comming out.

Examples please.
Anything you can reffer to . Industry press, articles, anything that shows example of what you are describing.
Why default to single click to focus ? .. you are in minority and it simply makes sense to set it up that way.

Beside, I and several others prefer this approach.
So there you go
You can always change it.
heeheh .. you would go, download look at it for 5 minutes, sratch your head and delete it.
Simply speaking Borland recognized Qt for what it is , an excellent toolkit which has no equal in Unix world.
It has nothing to do with KDE.
Don't be so defensive.You are right.
Most people here have no understanding of MS technology and still feel competent to criticize it.
