I have an interest in history, and I've read that the Hittites, who had discovered iron, initially tried to keep it secret from the rest of the world, as an advantage.
I don't know if it's true, never fact-checked it, but nowadays when I see someone worrying about technology transfers, I always remember how the Hittites wanted to keep iron secret, and it's somehow very funny.
And now I hear that ordinary Japanese have turned insular again, English knowledge is low, and studying abroad doesn't help your prospects, it harms them.
The drive-by might be the autorun.inf types which rely on a setting in Windows that any removable media that has an autorun.inf at the top directory will have it executed.
In reality, I've never noticed practical differences between Qt and a native application on Windows, or on Gnome Linux. On Android currently it doesn't look native at all, but that's because it's not implemented yet, they plan on doing it later.
What's interesting is, why are news of anyone actually exploiting those vulnerabilities so rare? It seems even though the vulnerabilities are there, nobody is exploiting them.
Can't they put a computer before them, that requires SSL/TSL connections, and authenticates any socket before forwarding it to the SCADA computer? A proxy, so to speak.
He said it runs Debian Linux. I don't know what desktop environment he uses, but I use Debian+LXDE, and it needs around 200-250 MB RAM when no applications are running. With Chrome and 5-6 other apps I currently use up 800 MB RAM.
I wonder how it would have felt for humanity if Earth happened to orbit such a star, and we knew that every moment we were going farther and farther from the galaxy.
Deflation is bad because SMART people stop buying things that will be cheaper tomorrow.
That's not the half of it. The real problem is that food also starts getting cheaper, which will cause SMART people to stop buying food, eventually dying from starvation.
One of my colleagues migrated his project from Qt4 to Qt5, because he just couldn't live with the thought of using an older version while the newer one had been released for 6 months already.
So far only headaches, time wasted migrating, time wasted fixing bugs, and I still haven't seen anything good come out of it. Now when I reporting a bug introduced in Qt5 to my colleague, I preface it with "Qt5 strikes again."
Yes, I've wondered if part of the problem is that the Java community is taught that productivity trumps performance. I mean the language advertises that its goal is to make it easier to write code by not thinking about speed.
Well, that's not what I do. I never keep an application open after I'm done with it - mostly because it clutters my taskbar. Btw, are you talking about desktop applications, or server applications?
I've noticed that regardless of all claims about how Java can be faster than C++, I've never seen Java desktop applications beat C++ at the most important thing - startup time. I'll give you an example with JDownloader - that application takes 10-15 seconds to start.
Speed perception from the user's point of view is based on startup time and latency. I still haven't seen a Java desktop application that feels responsive.

That's right, when people are comparing languages, they really are comparing the libraries available for them. And for C++, Qt is a damn good one.
In reality, I've never noticed practical differences between Qt and a native application on Windows, or on Gnome Linux. On Android currently it doesn't look native at all, but that's because it's not implemented yet, they plan on doing it later.
Qt4 didn't use native widgets either, so Qt5 didn't 'drop' them.
In case you mean that's an advantage for Gtk - the next commercial Gtk app I see will be the first.
Isn't most malware these days just worms that trick the user into executing them? I doubt that more than 1-2% of the malware uses actual exploits.
Had it been during the movie, he would have been waterboarded as well.

The ancient Greeks had this system - it's called Sortition, or drawing of lots - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition
The idea was that they didn't even vote, they just picked citizens at random for various committees, similar to how a jury is chosen.
If it's possible to create an Alcubierre drive, you could theoretically reach those other universes.

Is that the DOS Microsoft C (not Visual C++)? From what version to what version was the migration?
What about FORTRAN code?

You can't duplicate the cursor behavior, though - if the image is a link, it shows, the cursor turns to a hand.
This is the link that inspired my comment btw - http://programmers.stackexchange.com/a/409/31462

I use Qt Creator, and never notice MOC. I know it's there and it does its work, but It has never caused any problems for me.
