Still, you can approximate the function by several other functions if you have to, then sum the areas. For me, it still seems faster than the Trapezoid Method.
FYI, just in case: I am not American, I live in Portugal where politics is getting worse and worse every day. We're going to enter a new recession and they are going to keep stuffing themselves with money. A guy with no diploma (or a Saturday diploma, if you get what I mean) can get in politics, get projection and enter a big fat company earning big fat loads of money for turning the country into a big fat pile of debt. Yet, the fucktards that elect these guys to command *MY* country can only complain about it -- they don't seem to get that *they* elected *them*.
I don't really care if they're anti or pro American. This is a true Revolution to be remembered in future time. If all these documents are, indeed, real, then we may be watching the true Revolution of Freedom -- the discovery that our democracy has grown to be something riddled with shit and corruption. The question that I pose is: What's next?
Democracy is still the best ideal that I believe we have. I am talking worldwide, not just in the US. What is the valid alternative? Alternatives that I often discuss with my friends are alternatives that establish different democratic hierarchies and especially voting restrictions. However, this ideal that I often propose to them is just not feasible for many reasons (mainly: Human non determination, Human misuse of resources, implicit discrimination and violation of human rights). What is our alternative? Where do we go from here? I'm sure many disagree, but it seems to many that most (notice not/all/, but *most*) democracy isn't working and will not work in the near future. What IS __THE NEXT STEP__?
For starters, WikiLeaks seems to be going there. Freedom is a must have. Transparency is essential. Not everywhere, as some things must be made secret, but the fear of being discovered -- much like is happening now -- can force people to "behave". This is a true revolution if it gets spread and if it really gets worldwide. We must use this to our well being, we must show people that Freedom is essential and that a Democracy without proper freedom and ethically correct behavior isn't good. That IS the next step -- a Free, Ethically Correct Democracy. Unfortunately, that is the exact ideal that we can't reach, because even losers vote -- and losers can't vote decently. Plus, even if we didn't allow losers to vote, who is to say they didn't stop being losers? Plus, who isn't to say that "non losers" can't be bought or vote wrongly? Who isn't to say that the politicians that "ethically correct people" elect change their position and become "evil"?
The World keeps going forward, but we're walking backwards -- and we don't seem to be willing to go forward...just check the possible comments and troll ratings I'll get instead of a logical and healthy debate.
When I first got into the "GUI Scene", I used windows and built everything with plain old Win32 API. Painful, but worked. Then, as I moved to GNU/Linux, I tried to port my apps with WxWidgets. It might have been because I was new to it, but WxWidgets felt awful, painful, bloated and "unnatural programming". (I'm talking C++, btw). Then I tried Qt and also found it awful, messy and confusing. Thus, I chose FLTK and managed to build many apps around it. It is simple, direct, not bloated (though not "extremely feature rich" either) and pleasing on the eye if you work it out ok.
A year after that, I decided to improve some of my apps to get some new features in. Thus, I re-wrote most of my apps using Qt and I changed my mind about it. Qt is easy to use -- it feels natural --, it isn't bloated (as some people say), it is beautiful and easy to modify, it is the most well documented toolkit I've ever seen, it integrates well with so many OSes and it has the amazing qt-make.
I also had to develop using GTK some time after that. It didn't feel "wrong", but it felt a bit "archaic" and too "functional" -- I prefer OOP.
So, yes, my humble opinion is that Qt is awesome. Then, FLTK is very nice to use, learn, improve, etc...
Yeah, I have a feeling that I am biased. C++ was the first language I really learned and I have loved it ever since. What makes GUI easier for me in C++ is Qt, which, by using moc, is more than "pure c++".
As strange as it may seem, I get that feeling when I touch a *used* Windows machine. No matter who used said machine, it eventually starts slowing down to a crawl. When I came to Linux, I came because I wanted a programmer-friendly environment (The Way It's Meant To Be) and I liked Compiz-Fusion (go figure!). Now I run GNU/Linux because it is GNU/LInux -- Free and Open-Source --, with openbox, fbpanel, pcmanfm, gnome-terminal, evince, chromium-browser, LibreOffice, amarok1.4, gedit, vim and some games (some via Wine). By leaving gnome itself, I learned what speed was really all about. However, I can't help noticing that my laptop gets quite a usability hit when I start eating of its CPU(s) -- but when I compare that with the Windows machines under a heavy load, I see that my poor 500€ laptop can top the asses out of those 1500€ lean-mean-Windows-machines. So, I may be an exception, but Linux, for me, in spite of some notorious disadvantages, can still top Windows in terms of these load-related tasks.
But, AFAIK, the parts of Java that LibreOffice uses (which are less and less as each version goes), are all freely implemented. If they work now, they'll work forever.
No! No! No! I enjoy having Qt free from other stuff! It's big enough already! If you want, just make a system better of find a way to communicate better, but DO NOT FUCK MY PRECIOUS Qt!
I'll fork it if I have too!

You didn't quite get what I mean, or I didn't make myself clear. My idea is that there will be a world in which there are no pricks and people who don't get the law -- they will all understand it and punish themselves if they ever fail to follow it (which, in itself, would rarely happen). This world would be the perfect world of Anarchy that so many leaders and people have waited for. It is impossible, because every guy like I described, there's three idiots like us who can do nothing else than type on/., and then there's politicians which are basically immoral beings who smell money.
Now, go bash someone else, and don't invoke the thing's name -- it's enough people believe in such foolness already.

I actually agree with this. We need to make those fuckers who know nearly nothing of the internet itself learn. Share, share and share some more is what I say. No matter what, given non-invasive measures. Some day, in a perfect utopia,*we* will rule the world -- that means that everyone will know what is right and do accordingly, thus, our ruling of the world will be the absence of the need to do so -- it would be a Perfect Anarchy.
Seriously, who doesn't use ext4 or some other superior FS nowadays? Oh, wait, NTFS is superior in the sense that it smells worse than all others. wuahwuahwuah!
No, you can't. I've programmed some features of Dillo myself and I look at the amazing work that the regular developers do. It is fast, memory-efficient and efficiency-centric. You can't compare a fully crazy assed GUIed application like Firefox, Chrome and IE (though Chrome is the least expensive of these three) with Dillo and FLTK. The Fast Light ToolKit makes it *really* fast and responsive -- similar to Chrome before all the fucktards started adopting it. Its CSS is increasing and there are *some* plans for basic Javascript. It is something else and I use it whenever I need real speed.
Of course you can just wget something and even make scripts to only get the text out of it, but then you'd just be "reading" the internet, which isn't enough for some things. Dillo is a much more advanced Links.

Well, but that is true for IPv5, google it, most news sites report that, at least with the IP protocol, odd numbers indicate experimental protocols.
That already exists, it's called "using both".

Yes, that's what I was talking about when I mentioned moc.

Many people are either choosing or bashing Qt.

I don't agree with that. I much prefer C++ to Objective C. The latter disgusts me due to its insane syntax.
That is all -- my opinion.
Go RTFA. Then come back and see where you went wrong there.
As strange as it may seem, I get that feeling when I touch a *used* Windows machine. No matter who used said machine, it eventually starts slowing down to a crawl.

Also, MS Office works fine under Wine. Even though I spit on it when I can -- LibreOffice does it all for me.
But, AFAIK, the parts of Java that LibreOffice uses (which are less and less as each version goes), are all freely implemented. If they work now, they'll work forever.

No, really, it may have technical differences, but it all boils down to fucktards colonizing the industry that should be for smart people.

The Bright Minds Of The World have to get away from this crap and create a new web. But this time, do it right -- don't let ignorant people get to it.
No, you can't. I've programmed some features of Dillo myself and I look at the amazing work that the regular developers do. It is fast, memory-efficient and efficiency-centric.
