You might want to read up on what "cached" means on Linux.
Those 600 megabytes or so of cached memory can be instantly allocated for anything which suddenly needs it. The memory is in other words not in active use, but simply a disk cache. Try adding another gigabyte and see how much free reports in buffers/cache then:)
Re:Please don't compare Qt to wxWidgets/Gtk

In-Depth With Qt 4.4
·
· Score: 2, Informative
Gtk+ does GUI and threading, but wxWidgets is a complete application framework with networking, filehandling and a whole lot more abstracted. Plugin libraries exist for both to extend them, and I'm sure there is at least some basic file abstraction in Glib (which is required by Gtk+).
Licensing aside, I rate Qt and wx about the same in features. They both seem to get the native look on OS X, and wxWidgets takes on the Gtk+ theme on X (which is an engine using the KDE theme).
But..my OS X dock is at the bottom of the screen. Menus and systray-like stuff are at the top! There is no taskbar on Mac as such; either the program's launch icon in the dock turns into a button you can push to activate its hidden main window, or you use spaces/Exposà to find stuff.
Every nations chops down their nations name into something less than the full thing. Yes, so Norwegians refer to the country as "No'way", to avoid spelling the full, long-winded name:)
The way I fiddle with icons is simply to use "sips -i" from the terminal on all images. This creates an icon for each image which can always be copied and pasted from the info panels.
I'm sharing offices with many companies - architects and designers mostly. Among 30 people, there are 2 PCs and an Asus laptop about to be replaced with a MacBook. Some have an iMac and a MacBook Pro or Air, while I'm the only strange one with just a Mac Mini.
I remember Eircom. Ugh. A Norwegian company, Telenor, tried to buy shares in Eircom at some point, but I hope they failed. Telenor is just as screwed up in many of the same ways Eircom is, for the same reasons. Not a customer directly with them? Too bad. That broken line of yours will just stay broken. Have a nice life!
The current maintainers of Postgres still release new source to the public. Sun intends to hold back some. I don't mind some proprietary software, but open source software which suddenly turns proprietary is downright uncool. No MySQL on my dinky little servers; PG all the way.
That, and his ignorance of how bus lanes work in some parts of the world! The bus has its own lane, making it get places faster where I live. Sign me up for bus-like net access!
It pulls 4W, costs a bunch and lights up better than the 60W I use for outdoor lighting. The price list I've seen has them near $6 apiece (bulk purchase). After all the middle-men have taken their cuts, expect those six dollars to reach double digits.
I was testing LEDs today, and one in particular impressed me. It lit up my (very dark) cave like daylight. Not blue, not yellow. It has 36 LEDs dotted around it, so it isn't in the classic bulb form.
Win2000 and XP both have 5.x version numbers. Look at any MS DLL. 95/98/ME is a different family. The current Windows versions are all descendants of NT.
We're setting up a new domain at work, with some new services, and the other devs wanted to try various domain names. I of course warned them about the sort of practices you can expect on the net, and recommended a quick brainstorming session to come up with good names to try FIRST, then we'd go to our fave registrars to actually buy it only once we've settled for a few good names.
We're going for a domain in a TLD which is supposed to be only for "serious business", a country TLD, but anyone can get an org. number and grab a whole bunch of stupid typos and point to a pagefull of ads.
I really wish there was a sort of "credit rating" system for companies and individuals who bought domains. No spots on the record, go ahead and buy a few domains. Owned domains for years without incident, fine, you can buy lots more domains. Buying typo-domain names for your own company is fine, but once you start squatting you rack up demerits. At some point registrars would then stop selling you more domains. NO company or individual should need thousands of domains. Only shady people collect 'em like Pokèmon.
You're kidding, the 360 doesn't have any way of Self-Relicensing?
How are people on their 2nd (let alone those few on their 5th or 6th) box handling this? Whiskey.
The PS3 does all the technical bits perfectly, while the 360 has most of the cool entertainment. I'd buy a PS3 once they drop just a wee bit more, but there comes a time when I have to stop buying hardware and get some games to actually play on it..no PS3 yet, then.
I get back at MS, though. They lost money on my Elite upgrade - I paid less than current full price for my premium. Plus, I prefer to buy pre-owned from a reputable store. MS only gets their tax once, except on the dirt-cheap arcade games.

GarageBand leaves gigabytes worth of loops in the Library, though.
Some programs which DO need uninstallers don't have them.

There's a links-ssl. As long as your bank doesn't use stupid plugins
to display the login box (like mine unfortunately does), that should work.
Aren't the marketplace episodes 720p? I don't think the free episodes are all that high resolution.
I thought processes which could be killed by killing its parent were vampire processes.

This is a similar one (Chinese products; could be countless copies):

Nope, it's one big, happy family :)
I run ubuntu-server on my servers. Keeps packages in sync with my desktop
so I can test things locally, but has slight differences in defaults.

More likely than the 6-digits, because we have time on our side :)
You are confusing "crazy" with "stupid".
8 hours of uninterrupted content = half a season of most TV shows,
or a whole series of a UK show. I think it'll be useful.
Krita has all the tools. Even tablet support.
