Which makes me think, isn't this an abuse on Microsoft's part to force people to use Outlook, hence Windows, by creating this secret feature that allows Outlook to download hotmail?
I fail to see how the now undistiguishable ads are any better than before. They seem to be "merged" with the rest of the interface and that is NOT good at all.
A female journalist mentioned she viewed the code and found snippets of foul language in the comments.
First of all, would Microsoft contract their code with curses to foreign governments and large corporations? If so is it possible that the copy was leaked directly from Microsoft or that the leaker inserted those comments?
Second of all, isn't it illegal even for a journalist to download illegally distributed source code?
"The problem with the QT GPL license is that you have to decide whether or not your app is closed source before you start writing it".
Although TrollTech attempts to present it so, for purely marketing purposes, this is a fallacy. Here's why: - You don't need any copy of QT library to develop programs. A book and or knowledge of the QT API is enough for you to write source code which is your intellectual property - You need to decide on the licence once you distribute your software. GPL doesn't bind you to distribute source if you don't distribute the binary, and as the sole copyright holder of your work, you are free to licence your software under many licences. So if you think closed-source is better for you after you've written your app, contact TrollTech and pay them then.
Don't expect them to present it to you as an option though, nice is nice, but don't expect them to be that naiive.

An infection where the user knowledgeably accepts a substance ( even if considered harmless at the moment of acceptance ) should be called "a poison", not "a virus".
If you are given a drink that will kill you, but you drink it without knowing - that's a poison. If someone sneezes a few feets away and an airplane passes by you at the same exact moment of the other person sneezing and you can't hear the sneeze, and you get infected - then it's a virus.
Hence, opening an executable is subjecting yourself to the possibility of poisoning. Reading your email while a flaw is exploited in your email client is a virus.
If they don't write favorably of Microsoft then they won't be included as a sample. Thus the researcher will not be able to include that research in its public portfolio. Hence the possibility of skewed results in the name popularity contest of research organizations/companies.
I am a European in the US. It took me some time to get accustomed to the MM/DD/YY format and to actually realize its benefits.
Think about folders and sorting: You first search for the month, and if it matches, the day flows logically next. You avoid going through either the day or the year first. Now, if there is any chance that you hadn't filed away the previous year, it is readily available at the other end of the date, also easy to see.
Does anyone know if a closed-software maker is violating the GPL if it has originally linked to an LGPL library (legal), which has an independently created GPL analogue?
If not, then isn't it a matter of a LD_PRELOAD to transfer all or many GTK calls into QT calls, where the preloaded library is fully GPL, and gtk+ software was originally linked to the LGPL original gtk?
It is in two ways: 1) Gives you a 30-day buffer to find money without paying any interest 2) Reflects positively on your CREDIT history, which may help you get a loan, which makes much more sense than paying high interests to the credit card company.
Believe it or not, this was part of an undisclosed deal reached at the case between Berkeley and AT&T. SCO, of course, inherited the obligation to make FreeBSD a world domination. Go demons!

Perhaps the 2GB deal. Otherwise they wouldn't compare to SBC Yahoo! DSL which provides its users with 2GB Yahoo! accounts.
But does someone else suck them, Mr. Alien Hollywood Producer?
This is funny!

Did you watch Real Time with Bill Maher last Friday? He resented that ad wondering if it was an ad for nuclear weapons or stool softeners.
That ad isn't for the average Jo/ew, and Bill seems to be smarter than that.

Actually the extension idea makes a lot of sense. And it has already been submitted as a wish to bugs.kde.org:

Proof:
There is no FXS (Floppy X Server ) that uses floppy LEDs for display ( instead of a monitor )
Popularity is supposedly going to bring in more developers, hence more software. For many it means game companies will produce more linux software.

No, this development is relevant to the visual styles of gtk applications. It has nothing to do with native gtk on OSX.

This should be modded up: it actually answered the question this article asked.
