Microsoft don't need to make money of their toolkits cause they use it to attract/lock developers to Windows. Having closed-source developers pay for the development of a GPL toolkit is a good thing.
Why should developers who want to charge you for their closed-source software get their toolkits for free? Qt's licencing terms encaurages developers to make GPL software.
Windows have different toolkits, but they have the same look and feel. Linux applications should look and feel the same without having to use the same toolkit. This is something Gnome and KDE developers are working on.
As other people already have mentioned, your last two paragraphs are false.
KDE wasn't all GPL. Some parts of it was LGPL. QT was linked to the LGPLed parts of KDE.
RMS's intentions with the LGPL was to allow properiary code on a GPL system. Trolltech used LPGP to write GPL software on a properiary toolkit. IANAL, but I think this is legal.
RMS claimed this violated the GPL licence, but it only violated his intentions.
Besides, he was afraid that the GNU/Linux desktop would be based on a non-Free licence.
I don't think RMS cares much for the legal meaning of GPL. He only uses it as an vehicle for his holy cause.
Bah, install a new nvidia card on your mac and we'll see how silent your computer will run.
My Geforce 2 fan makes more noise than my processor and cabinet fan put together.
Lookup tables were good when memory was faster than the processor. Nowdays they should be avoided. The cache isn't doing much help when you lookup random values either.
GTK+ = Gimp Tool Kit => the UI too deeply embedded into Gimp.
There is a KOffice graphic application in the works called Krayton, but it is very alpha. The KOffice team is considering whether Krayton should included in the next KOffice Beta. It will have a different interface than Gimp.
Gimp has a lot of cool features, but I think it is let down by its user interface and lack of preview on all its effects.
The problem is that if you wanna play some other game than quake like Tribes 2 you can't use IPv6. Correct me if I am wrong, but if an ISP decides to upgrade to IPv6, then their customers wouldn't be able to play any other games than Quake until the gameproducers release an IPv6 patch. This would make it more difficult for IPv6 to become the new standard.
The USA and USSR was called superpowers because they had nuclear weapons and armies which used every chance they got to participate in warfare, and because they had great population and large landmassses.
USSR isn't called a superpower anymore because it doesn't excist.
I saw a documentary years ago which claimed that the pilot got to his job too late. The plane's navigation system required 30 minutes to syncronize, but he only gave it 10 minutes. If the plane was delayed for 20 minutes he would be in serious shit, because this is completely inexcusable in Kora. The plain took off as scheduled but in the wrong direction.
Later when he figured that he was lost, he didn't report in (over the radio), but tried to correct the course until the russians set the final destination...
Pure speculation but a nice entertainment.
People who post linguistic corrections got small penises.
Yes, but the Apache pilots uses it for targeting real life targets, not some icons on a screen directly in front of you. It is not a tried and proven technology on the desktop.
The 68000 address registers were 32bit long, but only the lower 24 bit were used for addressing. Externally the chip had 23 pins, because it addressed words instead of bytes, and had 16 data pins.
It could access 2^24 = 16MB.

A "Tip Ring Sleeve" insert cable gives you a mono unbalanced insert with a normal unbalanced stereo jack (headphone) plug.
Before or after the EQ (sometimes selectable) in a mixer the signal is sent to the insert plug.Here you can plug in a compressor or gate etc. The send and return uses sleeve as the ground while ring is send and tip is return. If you disconnect the cable, the insert circuit is bypassed. An other way to do this is by having separate send and return plugs. This way you can keep the signal balanced. Another advantage is that you can split the signal by connecting something to the send plug because the signal is only broken if you connect something to the return plug. This solution is used in pro $$$ mixers, but they use bantam plugs instead of jack plugs. (Bantam plugs are smaller than jack plugs but bigger than minijack (walkman) plugs)
To have an electric signal, whether it is AC or DC, you need two wires. With audio you also need sheilding. If you connect the ground to one of the wires the signal is unbalanced, if you use a separate wire for ground the signal is balanced.
AC means ascending current and audio is ascending current. If you connect a speaker to the wallplug, you will get a loud 50/60 (Europe/USA) Hertz sound. It will wake your nabours and probably blow the speaker. Don't do this at home kids.
You think merging Gnome and KDE would make a better desktop. That's like saying merging vi and emacs would make a better editor. Don't you think emacs/vi users would complain when some of their favorite features have to be sacrificed for a common good? The same thing would happen if Gnome and KDE was merged.

Yeah, but they can use Konquereor and KOffice. I don't think all Mac OS X users love using Microsoft software.

Not all guns are tools.
What so you use your mp5 for?
Opening doors? Hunting deer?
An mp5 serve no other function than killing humans.

You are right, I forgot that article.

Can you play Quake/Unreal etc. on IPv6 ?
If they overclock their P4 1.5GHz to 3GHz , it should be running at 1.5GHz
