How are these mythical generics at metaprogramming? If Java eventually gets libraries like Blitz++, Loki, and boost::Spirit, I'll take a look. Oh, but that would require operator overloading, too. Maybe Sun should release the "J2UE" (Java 2 Usable Edition) as a JVM implementation of C++. </snarky>
One of the founding principles of the USA is that "right" and "wrong" can change over time - hence the ability to modify our set of laws.
Wrong. The principles of the founding "in order to form a more perfect union," are clearly geared toward converging on what is right. Moreover, there should be a distinction between right and legal. One is immutable, one isn't.
While I'm sure your congrratulation was intended to be sardonic, your assertion that Darwin is the "exception that proves the rule" is just silly. I can understand if there were a hundred commercially maintained UNIXes out there, then saying "everyone" is abandoning it for Linux could allow for exceptions in such a large field. However, there were only ever a handful (certainly less than a dozen) of commercially maintained UNIXes out there. Making a statement about "everyone" in such a small set does not really leave much room for an exception. What I was pointing out in my previous post is that the world's largest supplier of UNIX systems is solidly into BSD, and will not be moving to Linux. If the original post I was referring to had said that everyone was moving to open source UNIX-like operating systems, in favor of proprietary kernels, then I would have agreed.
The ad says, "Collecting data is only the first step toward wisdom, but sharing data is the first step toward community"
Are you sure that's not: Collecting data is only the first step toward wisdom, but re-theming your desktop a dozen times while your kernel compiles is the death of productivity."
You don't need to construct, buy, or steal one of those devices and impersonate a delivery man. You could simply send someone a package with delivery receipt requested, and when you get the paper delivery receipt, there's the recipient's signature, in beautiful 1-bit digital glory. Scan it, and what do you have?
Jack squat.
I have the signatures of several very wealthy people "on file." They're called sports autographs. So what?
If you ever used both Solaris and AIX, you'd realize that there is a natural answer to which company has more reason to pick up Linux as its mainstream OS. Sun has a good thing going and they are not willing to throw it away. IBM has nothing to lose.
More surprisingly, only 14% of male gamers live in their mothers' basements, whereas 82% live in other rooms in their mothers' houses.

It was one of only a few April Fool's jokes that took me in, too. It makes sense and has such obvious utility, there was very little "joke" about it except the fact that it was false. It would be as if AOL Time Warner announced that they are splitting off their AOL holdings and renaming themselves "Time Warner." Ha Ha, April Fool? No, it makes perfect sense, but it's just not true. I keep hoping that Trolltech will resurrect this idea for real, sort of like Perl and Parrot.
Maybe he means he's willing to pay for a commercial license, but his product is small enough that he would rather pay a lower license fee. A reasonable demand
You have outlined his potential reasoning, but how is this a reasonable demand? I can't ask the iTunes Music store to give me the songs for 33 cents if I promise I will listen to them only once and then delete them. These are market driven commodities, and they set their prices as they see fit.
Restaurants are also places of commerce with market-driven pricing, but many of them do give free surplus food to groups as long as they are distributing it to people in need for free. Does that mean therefore that it is reasonable to demand cheap food from them if I'm only going to eat half of it and give the rest away?
Their licensing scheme doesn't "suck." It's just incompatible with your goals, i.e. a free toolkit which you can use to create salable apps. If you don't like it, you can:
Buy a Qt commercial developer license
Release your own apps as open source
Use a different toolkit
It sounds like you have chosen #3. I'm sure the people at Trolltech are able to sleep well regardless.

Any other questions?
And I get a chance to fail it at FP?
Is Wind River really an "OS company" or are they a "CD pressing and distribution company?"
Wrong. The principles of the founding "in order to form a more perfect union," are clearly geared toward converging on what is right. Moreover, there should be a distinction between right and legal. One is immutable, one isn't.
Expectations have a way of becoming hopes when you have a financial stake in them.
That should be a lowercase "corrections," and there should be no space before the period in your first sentence.
Like this?
Taco, where Neal had had, "had," had had, "had had." "Had had" had had a better effect.

Ugh. I hope you were joking.

I wouldn't worry about SCO DOS, I'm sure Microsoft will insert subtle incompatibilities so that Windows 3.1 won't run on it.
HP has what, HP/UX and Tru64-UNIX? No wonder they "have a skinny RISC/Unix workstation business."
