    You REALLY need to think that thru. Just sit down and thing about what you say you want. If, after sitting and thinking for an hour or so, you still find nothing wrong with it do the rest of us a favor and never vote again.

    How in the hell would this be a DMCA violation? I know the DMCA is a very badly written law, but how does it apply in this situation?

    Not totally correct. The 487 was a fully functional chip, it disabled the 486SX. That's right, it just flat out did nothing with the other chip except to disable it.

    In case you haven't noticed, HP doesn't give a fuck about anyone rights/lives unless they are an HP exec.

    They just fucking don't care as long as they get paid. That is why they are destroying HP.

    All I did is ask a license question about this tech.

    Since the GTK license allows keeping the source closed and the QT doesn't I desired to know if this could be used in closed source apps. How is that a troll?

    What effect will the QT/GTK event loop intergration tech have on licensing? In other words, does your app have to be GPL to use this tech?

  24. Re:But we can't find out about.... on US Treasury to Post Previously Private Email Addresses Online · · Score: 1

    Things you should know before you accuse me of being partisan:

    1: I donated to the GWB campaing during the last presidental election cycle.

    2: I voted for GWB during the last presidental election cycle.

    3: I supported GWB during the last presidental election cycle.

    However, it wasn't blind support and frankly I am getting tired of being accused of being a Dem because I do not agree 110% with everything the current admin does. He is the president of the USA, not God.

    They expect our navy to keep the shipping lanes open.

    They expect the US Taxpayers to bail them out if China/India takes over their business. Overseas Private Investment Council(OPIC). Taxpayer backed insurance.

    They use the US patent, trademark, and copyright systems to protect themselves.

    Any questions?
