Yes that's true, but why would you bother doing that if you weren't going to use it?

What? Qt is the Trolltech widget set and is available under the GPL for non-commercial development. And what has OO got to do with the quality of the language? Somebody mod this down as -2 (Dumbass)
What does my argument have to do with the Soviet countries in the 1980s? I was saying that if it sells well then there's little economic incentive under capitalism to improve the product. If it sells well then there's no interest in making it better.
Until very recently Japanese and German cars were streets ahead in build quality and reliability. But still people bought Fords in their millions, proving my point. It was only when Ford started losing big to the likes of Honda that they started reviewing the 'don't worry be crappy' policy.
One day Americans like you will stop believing that any system but laissez-faire capitalism is totalitarian Soviet communism, but I doubt I'll be alive to see it.
Intel has already done a deal with the DOJ to behave without all this waste of time and money. Perhaps because Intel is run by someone pragmatic not megalomaniacal.
In KPPP, enter username, password and phone number. Click Connect. Wait 2 minutes. Open Konqueror and start browsing. Hardly the stuff of nightmares is it?
Capitalism does not reward innovation in anything but marketing. The best car is not always the best-selling car for example, it's an image thing. Capitalism only works properly when the consumers have all the information required to make the correct choice. Only then is innovation rewarded. The idea of marketing is to prevent this from happening. Letting the market decide has produced so many monopolies and cartels in the past 150 or so years that there has to be a balance, and the only organisation big enough to take on an abusive monopoly is a government.
Isn't this just allowing the language to use KDE themes and widgets where available, just like it uses Motif and Win32 as well as it's own Metal theme.

Not necessarily. Being smelly and having loads of hair would be the norm.
Perhaps because it's true. I had a hell of a job installing it, despite having installed various Linux distros and BeOS without a hitch. Not a very auspicious start for Microsoft's most reliable OS to date.
You mean an air-pistol or a fake. No illegal gun dealer is going to give a schoolboy a gun, because the police will be down on them like a ton of bricks. Far safer and more lucrative to supply the crime gangs instead.
Crap is still crap despite sales figures. x86 is a god-awful architecture, not even as good as the 68000 arch on my Amiga was in 1994, let alone the likes of Alpha, PPC or Sparc. Next you'll be saying Britney Spears has more talent than Mantovani since she sells more albums.
Sign up for 50 free hours. Surf as much as you can to sites containing objectionable material. Have AOL Australia chasing it's tail trying to remove all the sites from their cache. It may not change anything, but what the hell, baiting the MPAA, RIAA and AOL all at the same time would be somewhat satisfying.
Or burglaries to the euphemistically-challenged. I don't need a gun to get people out of my house, I have fists, feet and a baseball bat. In the UK, it's very hard to get a gun, even illegally, so the chances of the drug addict who's trying to nick my video having anything more dangerous than a knife are pretty low.
You could say that for any decent OS though. It's so flexible, that it makes it harder to configure.
ACLs are a good idea, but as one poster said above, it's writing a common layer to deal with the fact that all filesystems handle them in different ways, from not at all to user-specific permissions.
Strange but when I installed Mandrake it asked me if I wanted to configure my Lucent Winmodem. I didn't at the time because I've got cable, but maybe I should try it just to see what happens.
It took my a couple of hours of rebooting and retrying until it got to the partition screen, where it didn't recognise that the disk was already partitioned. I tried to put it on my second drive but the installer was having none of it. So I had to back up all my Linux data and start again. After another hour of annoyance I got to the partition screen, set up the W2K partition and off it went without further ado. As a desktop it is fine, (although I've had a couple of random crashes), but their installer needs work. It's not demonic, but it's rather pathetic that Microsoft have taken 25 years to produce a reasonable OS, and this has a lot to do with competition from Linux.

Punishing the winner when he takes steroids and shoots the other competitors sounds reasonable to me.
Why the NRA of course.

Yes, in which case I agree. This is a bit pointless. What's wrong with a Look and Feel that blends seamlessly with the KDE 2 theme.
Except that the source will be fully available and no-one will be conned into believing that it's pure Java.

Just as good as trying to hit six different people in the dark with a gun.

Do they have any way of banning a Gnapster user on Linux, apart from cancelling the account?

It's a childish use of the word gay and it means ludicrously stupid. Don't worry, they grow out of it.
I believe it's the ISPs proxy-cache they're after, not the 'Temporary Internet Files' folder on Joe Corks-on-Hat's computer.
