Does it really matter on how many models Nokia has with (or without) Bluetooth? Or do you think that when you see a cool Nokia phone with BT that "Whoa! I would really love to buy that phone! It has Bluetooth! Unfortunately Nokia doesn't put BT in all their models, so I can't buy that BT-enabled phone...". I fail to see the logic here.
I have Nokia 6310i with Bluetooth. And yes, it workd very very well.
The way I see it is that is that I am a shareware author and small time developer. I can go the Windows route pay less for a larger market.... OR pay more for a smaller market using QT....
How so? Qt is Windows/Linux/Mac crossplatform. VC++ and Win2K are tied to... well, Windows.
1500 high? I don't think so. From what I have heard, the price is extremely reasonable when compared to it's competitors. While 1500USD is alot of money for a one man to spend on one piece of software, it's not much for a softwar-company. How many individual developers are there that write closed-source software for Linux? from what I can see, overwhelming majority of the software is under GPL, making the whining about Qt's license more or less pointless. TT forces the users to use license that majority of them wouls use regardless. Individual developers that write close-software for Linux is rather small group, and the bigger developement-houses can easily afford the 1500USD/developer.

2) Can I write a closed source program in KDE without having to pay QT 1500 USD? NOT LIKELY....
So you insist that Trolltech must offer their product to you for free so you could write closed & proprietary software with it?
Before, GPL-fanatics whined because Qt was under QPL and not GPL. Now that is't GPL'ed, those same people whine because they cant use Qt for free to write closed-source software. They want to deny Trolltech the right to profit from their software, and in the same time, they insist on using the product for free to profit themselves. Hypocrisy. Plain and simple.
"Do as I say, not as I do!". That seems to be the core of their argument.
I'm not sure that I follow you. Linux doesn't properly support more than 4gigs of RAM on x86 because the architecture itself doesn't properly support more than 4gigs of RAM. However, that does NOT mean that Linux wont support 4+gigs on x86-64! Just because x86 has no proper support for large memories, does NOT mean that x86-64 wont have it either!
Transfering a CD's worth of music onto the device would take well over a minute at any decent quality.
yes! I can't wait for that long! I must have it immediately!
Seriously, are you really yhat busy that you can't wait for that long?
Transferring a collection onto the drive would take hours.
I assume you would be filling the 20gigs entirely? How often would you do that? Not very often I would imagine. Propably only once. Why not leave it transferring files while you sleep for example? Or would you be constantly moving 20 gigs of files in to that thing? I don't think so. Once you move your files there, that's it. After that, you would only make incremental additions, and USB1.1 is good enough for that.
Ummmm.... How often would you be transferring files to that thing? I don't know about you, but it has enough space to hold my mp3-collection four times over! Just leave it transferring files while you sleep or something, problem solved. You would not be transferring 20 gigs of data every other day or something.
Rockstars are just underground punk-rockers that became popular. It seems to me that there are people who prefer bands that are underground (read: "not popular"). The moment those bands become popular (even though if their music didn't change and/or become more mainstream), the fans reject them because they have "sold out to the mainstream" or some other crap like that. I guess it's more l337 to like some unknown bands even if their music is no different from the more mainstream bands
Available in Europe for 15 360, it incorporates both a new diesel engine, produced in conjunction with parent company General Motors Corp., and a particulate filter.
GM is not Fiat Autos parent-company, Fiat is. GM owns part of Fiat Auto (about 20% if I remember correctly).
the coldest place in the universe [bbc.co.uk] was actually Brighton, England.
Correction: Coldest place in the known universe. How do you know that there are no ultra-advanced cililizations out there that have got even closer to absolute zero?
Seriously: they wont. If Linux got 90% market-share, there would be several companies offering their version of Linux. Also, it would be more difficult to abuse that market-position, since Linux is open.
I call BS on that. There was a noticeable improvement when moving from AGP 1x to 2x. The difference was nonexistant when moving from 2x to 4x. Same thing when moving from 4x to 8x. AGP is definitely NOT the bottleneck!
I drive an SUV. I made it to work Monday and Tuesday this week, in spite of the 12" - 24" of snow that fell here in Northern VA/DC Metro area.
I wonder how we in Finland manage to drive just fine during winter (read: snowstorms, -30C, snow, snow and more snow) with our small FWD cars? If you need a SUV to cope with snow, I would say that the problem is not the car, the problem is between the steering-wheel and the seat.
This is a fact. It's irrelevant to me, but a fact nonetheless. I don't drive like an asshole, but I put my family in an SUV to afford them an added measure of protection from the people on the road that do drive like assholes.
SUV's might be safer when hitting a smaller car. But what about rollover? What about when more and more people think like you do, and you wont be hitting that small japanese sedan, but another huge SUV? Most of the added security of SUV will be negated when more and more people drive SUV's.
No they aren't. There are plenty of cheaper 3D-cards that don't cost arm and a leg. Oh, you meant hi-end models? Well, I suppose Voodoo2 SLI wasn't THAT expensive, eh?
In 1628, the flagship of the Swedish navy, Wasa, sank within minutes of starting her maiden-voyage (the ship was top heavy due to extra gun-deck they added in the middle of the construction).
The ship was resurfaced in 1961 (it was discovered in 1956) . It took several days to accomplish. As it happens, there were some finnish techics-students (teekkarit) visiting Stockholm then. Teekkarit are famous for pulling pranks, and they though that this would be the perfect possibility for the ultimate prank. They went and bought a miniature copy of a statue of Paavo Nurmi (a famous finnish runner), sneaked past the guards, went in to the ship (that was still in the bottom of the sea) and placed the statue in the captains quarters. I bet the people who studied the sip after it was resurfaced were quite puzzled when they found that statue;). The guys who pulled that off never revealed how they did it.

I bet this project is really funded by Disney. They are hoping to extract additional profit from use of their trademark!

Without a monitor and with a smaller (10gigs if I remember correctly) HD.

Incorrect. GM is a minority owner in Fiat Auto, but does not own it whole.

Well he were "asking as an AMD user", so it made it sound like running hot is predominantly a characteristic of AMD-chips, when it really isn't so.
I call BS on that. There was a noticeable improvement when moving from AGP 1x to 2x. The difference was nonexistant when moving from 2x to 4x. Same thing when moving from 4x to 8x. AGP is definitely NOT the bottleneck!
FYI: P4 runs even hotter than Athlon XP does.
I'm sorry, but the Sinclair Digital Watch was a dismal failure.
