That would be true... if sodas had to be refrigerated. As it is, they are tossed in just prior to retail, and the bulk are sold unrefrigerated. Thus there is very little cost to refrigeration prior to the consumer buying them (and plenty of people just use ice).
I never brought up Bush. You are decidedly defending him to the wrong person. Not only did I vote for Bush, I lived in Palm Beach County at the time, so my vote was a key vote to get him in.
For the record, I think Bush is very mediocre, but Gore was even more so and Tipper Gore was downright scary. Kerry hasn't impressed me much either. There are some good people in Congress and some good governors, but none of them are running.

I was thinking about using the non-keyboarded version of this (the 3660? The one with the "normal" key layout) as a phone and eBook reader. Anybody tried to use it? For comparison, I now use a Palm IIIc (with the hypersharp and bright screen) right now.

I was referring to the fact that I capitalized the regions and did not capitalize the word "texas". It was actually a typo I left in place for the tagline.
It is not just management. How many times do you hear people talking about how Apple is dying. Apple has a better share of the computer market than Ferrari has of the car market, and yet people don't shun Ferrari because they are a small slice of the available options.
Look into Troma for an interesting, intelligent take on the issue. No, really. Troma may put out some godawful cheap crap, but Lloyd Kaufman, the founder and president, really has a very well positioned view on the movie industry. He's brought such things as the work of Studio Ghibli to America (with My Neighbor Totoro). A couple years later, Disney was releasing their stuff to critical acclaim. In interviews, he's either over the top goofy (fitting the image of schlock-splatterfest Troma) or insightful.

Evan "I'd love to see him talk to Congress on some issues"
The West as a place is not always capitalized. Some style guides list American regions as being lowercase. I agree that it should be capitalized (along with others such as the South), but it is not always done.
Of course when you are inside the region, it is much more commonly capitalized.
Thus the fairly interesting tracking of usage. For instance, some works refer to the south (as in the American south), while others refer to the South, which gives it a stronger identity. The same thing can occasionally be seen for the west/the West. It certainly gives the voice of the author or publication a stance on how they view the region.
Heh. In America it is published by (I'm going on memory here) Waterbearer Films, a lesbian cinema publishing house. Terrifyingly, it has garnered some critical acclaim in North America.
Heh. Yep - I got it about three or four days ago. It's pretty durn bad.
No torrent for this - I found it in an Albertsons bargin VHS tape bin, and it is the most amazingly bad art film I've ever seen - "Flaming Ears". It's bad German surrealist. It has things like sex with furnature and a little girl on a swingset in the kitchen reciting poetry. Plus some of most amazing stop motion animation you'll ever see.
Who the hell marked this offtopic? I'm pointing out that the exact same racial and violent themes, when used in movies instead of games, get critical acclaim and public praise as being the best works of their medium.
Whereas the movies that play up on those same racial steriotypes (the Godfather movies, Taxi Driver, Tarentino's body of work, etc) are considered to be the pinnacle of cinematic art?
Yep - it has all that, which is why I didn't list them in my features of Qt that this dosen't have. Basically, it has all the stuff that is necessary to implement a GUI, and nothing else.
unlike Qt or WxWidgets, or FOX or whatever, the framework is broken into smaller pieces as opposed to one monolithic library
Same goes for Qt; the framework is broken out. Some of the enterprise features are sold as options.
All of the above features are available in the FoundationKit and completely suitable for console/server developement, without any GUI baggage.
Ditto for Qt.
As for your last point, Qt already has scripting built in with secure access as opposed to a wrapper for Reflection. You can use several languages as well.
I'm not saying that this isn't good... I'm just saying that there's quite a bit more to Qt than what is available here and that Qt is quite a bit down the development curve.

Evan "but then, I'm a procedural kinda guy anyway..."
Yes, but Qt isn't a GUI toolkit, it is an application development framework and language extension (Database abstraction, application scripting, Signals and Slots, the foreach loop, etc). All I see here is a GUI toolkit. GUI widgets and layout comprise only a small part of what Qt is.
Stuff like the application scripting language, data abstraction, relational database libraries, accelerated 3d, etc. Qt is a bit more than just a visual toolkit at this point, having pulled into it and made platform independant many of the ideas implemented in KDE.
It may have been a joke, but I sat in not one but *two* different comic shops and listened to people discuss Shatner's loss of a job. In one I talked to the proprietor about it and he pointed out that it was the Magic players who thought Shatner was fired and that the Warhammer players had discussed the ads a week ago and knew better.

What *does* he have? I mean, he's not wearing a toupee (or hasn't for many years). Plenty of people who have met him, including people who have done things like swum on a beach or spread hay with him say that it may not be natural, but it's not a rug.

I assume you are trying to continue the humor of the grandparent post. That or you are either a troll or simply ignorant of PHP.
Lest anybody, not knowing any better, believes you, I'll point out that PHP has been more than a hypertext preprocessor for years and there is a growing set of CLI tools written in it as well as a few GUI libraries. stdin, stdout, ncurses support and plenty of other non-web related tools exist that are part of the core package. These are available when compiled as an interpreter rather than the usage you seem to be familiar with as an Apache (or other web server) module.

is valid where a variable does not need a special character ($ToBe or the like).
(2*B) || !(2*B)
Has the same problem. Variables sometimes need something special to make them variables, and sometimes not. You're kind stuck.
Although...
#define $B B
(2*$B) || !(2*$B)
Passes languages that use the CPP and also PHP (unary comment). (Just tested in gcc)
