Qt is publicly developed on Gitorious (https://qt.gitorious.org/), accepting merge requests (with code review). Even if you can't get them to accept patches into the 'official' codebase, you could always just branch it and fix the bugs for yourself...

If you're serious about computer security you bring the analysis tools with you, from an independent known-good source, not using anything from the possibly-compromised machine.
Small fuel efficient cars have a huge problematic bug , that has never been worked out. They're dangerous, hard to spot, slow to get out of the way

A symmetry under X means the system under test is unchanged (ie the same physical laws work, your predictions are still correct) when you do X.
A simple example is the symmetry under spatial translation -- if your experiment still behaves the same way if it's moved a meter to the left, it has "spatial translational symmetry". This symmetry isn't exactly true on the surface of the earth because of variations in the gravitational field etc., but on a small scale for lab experiments it's true, and in deep space it's certainly true. Another example is symmetry under spatial rotation -- your experiment doesn't care whether you face it north or east.
By a very cool bit of maths called Noether's Theorem, you can show that for every symmetry that a system has, there is an associated conserved quantity. So systems with spatial translation symmetry will show conservation of momentum. Systems with time translation symmetry exhibit conservation of energy -- within that system, you can't create or destroy energy. Rotational symmetry results in conservation of angular momentum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_(physics)
Much of modern physics is built around identifying the symmetries that the universe (or parts of the universe) obeys, the associated conserved quantities, and what happens when those symmetries are broken -- for example the maths leading to the Higgs boson. Currently we believe the universe overall obeys C(harge) P(arity) T(ime) symmetry, that is if you change matter for antimatter, flip everything spatially (as in a mirror), and reverse the direction of time, everything would be the same. This recent experiment shows that time symmetry by itself is not obeyed -- if you only reverse the direction of time, this particular particle collision is not the same.
Photons moving through a medium are "slowed down" by interactions of the electromagnetic field with the atoms of the medium.
Remember that a photon is just localised electromagnetic energy. In a medium, the electromagnetic fields behave differently than in a vacuum, because of the all the atoms with their various charged bits (protons, electrons) -- there is a different "resistance" to changing the field strength because the field has to move the atoms as well. This resistance to changing the field strength is what determines the speed of the electromagnetic wave. In mathematical terms we say photons (electromagnetic waves) travel at speed c/n, where n is the refractive index of the material, and n is sqrt(epsilon * mu), where epsilon and mu are the relative permittivity and permeability (to electromagnetic fields) of the medium.
A simpler, but wrong, model you might hear is that the photons are being absorbed and reemitted many times as it passes through the medium, all while travelling at c between the atoms, but that can't be really true because otherwise light would be highly directionally spread out after exiting any high refractive index material, but we can see straight through glass and water.
Instead, Plaintiff merely submitted 252 raw pages of documents obtained through discovery without so much as a summary of the information contained in those documents or an explanation to the Court how any of the line items contained therein directly relate to Kumar’s UMaple activities.
Seems to me that's the real reason the judge wasn't feeling like awarding any more damages, not some kind of protest against the DMCA or statutory damages.

"this guy" is Greg K-H, second-in-command to Linus and the maintainer of the -stable tree. His arguments were one of the main reasons Linus changed the 3.0 numbering. Greg is just proposing that he maintains another tree officially, not a "fork". As for version numbering, I think there will be 3 numbers - first two for mainline releases, and one more for stable/longterm patch level. I don't think -longterm will be needing an extra number.
20% of total electricity production in the US is not a tiny amount, and is thousands of times the currently installed wind and solar capacity. It'll be many decades before they can replace nuclear.

Most university computer lab machines dual-boot Windows XP and customised openSUSE. All students get ssh shell access to multiple Linux servers in various departments and public webspace. For Maths, Physics, and CompSci courses most of the programming is strongly recommended to be done on Linux machines, and the university gives free classes to staff and students on everything from basic Python to LaTeX.
No immediate or even forseeable applications (and it has nothing to do with hailstones). But the guys who were working on number theory in the early 1900's (Hardy for one, who specifically refused to work on any maths that had real-world applications) didn't forsee the future uses in cryptography...

Essentially, opposite of the effect of helium on the vocal tract. It's way denser than air so you end up with a deep-sounding voice.

Your source for "radiation poisoning has cumulative effects" was specifically talking about ionizing radiation e.g. from CAT scans.
cross-sectional study examined the amount of ionizing radiation
Whether or not non-ionizing radiation has any effects, your source and point were irrelevant. You fail, again. Go back to school.
