"but it sure is an issue for all the companies that have to make a living. "
So what are you saying is that paying for Qt can be a problem for commercial developers that have to make a living ?
Hmm... I thought that is how humans operated for thousands of years... you pay for my product which you can then use to create your own offering and try to sell it to others.
I mean, it worked well for hundreds of generations but what do I know.... obviously you have a better model.
PS.
Have you ever thought about how in the world TrollTech folks can make their living without charging for their fine product ?
"In fact, if your political leaning is even slighty less than far right, you're a terrorist."
Believe me, if it was Clinton or Gore you would see far more intrusion than you see now.
Democrats were and still are the force behind continuous growth of the governmental powers.
True, but only if you are trying to force solution using your learned Unix "tricks".
There are ways to get Windows to do almost anything that Unix does, and do it as efficiently and elegantly as Unix, but more often than not it requires completely different approach.
That is stupid.
He should have set Windows buffer to something more reasonable like 64 or 128K and have it run against Linux 4k-blocking version ( single threaded.)
Anyway, it does appear that Linux is generally faster when blasting stuff thru pipes.
What the fuck are you talking about ?
US was and is the largest contributor of economical aid in the whole fucking world.
It was us who helped to bring Europe back from stone age they got themselves into 50 years ago.
"Those in the drivers seat of the worlds present empire are getting drunk, fat and ignorant... when we alone are capable of creating any real value and stearing the future to something we can be proud of..."
For the last 100 years US was and still is in forefront of advances in just about any field you can think of.
"Where is the market for peace? goodwill? happiness? joy? freedom? democracy? nature? bio-diversity? greenspace? clean air? clean water? community? love? understanding?"
Yeah, when people want to be free , where the fuck do you think most of them go ?
Heh, it is true...
US is a place where corporations go to incredible lengths to protect themselves from lawsuits or community protests (which more often than not includes pacifying protesters/local communities with some perks etc)
Frankly, look at J. Jackson and his incredibly successful blackmailing actions against various commercial entities.
Where else in the world you can successfully sue corporations for personal mistakes of its employees or blame companies for your own stupidity ?
But of course, it does not fit into your view of US so it can't be true...
Just as silly as your stupid single-minded attacks at US.
You are too blind to notice that your are not much different than people you oppose so vigorously.
"Abortion has two victims, one is wounded and the other is dead."
Hell, man if we want to admit that our society will be better with some kids being eliminated, fine with me; just don't pretend that we are not killing anybody with every abortion.
We are doing exactly the same thing as Spartans and countless other cultures did, namely
getting rid of unwanted members of our society.
Look at it from the other side.
You are forbidden by law to make calls to people (who have publicly accessible phone numbers), calls for which you are paying.
That is NOT freedom.
So, despite the fact that someone looks exactly like that known terrorist we will NOT stop him because it is not going to "fly at a court of justice." ?
How do you propose to solve that problem ?
Just let him go ?
What's wrong with Apple ( beside the fact that they make crapy OS) ?
And for that matter, what is wrong with Microsoft ?
Do you truly believe that beside your small circle of leftist fanatics, anyone cares about "fight against corporate megalith" ?
Get real.
And Apple is not?
Right, they are not but only because they were completely outclassed by companies like Microsoft.
They tried hard as hell, but with their insane business plan; even complete maniac like Jobs was unable to pull it off.
"Apple announces Darwin, "
And nobody gives a fuck with exception of small Mac community.
"Because it was driving the platform into the ground. The Mac, as a platform, is in much better shape today then when the cloner makers were around. "
So , are you saying that PC as a platform would be in much better shape if IBM never did allow people to make clones ?
Apple platform ( not company) is where it is ( scraping for measly few percent of the market) because of their stupid policies which result in overpriced and purely hype (coolness) driven systems.
I looked at buying one of recent Macs for my son and, hell, they are simply not offering anything unique above your average PC while costing almost twice as much.
It simply doesn't make sense to buy Mac, unless you want to be different just for the sake of being different.
"ONCE, which was enough to give Windows, the cut-rate Mac imitator, take over the desktop market. "
Windows took over because was it available for cheap commodity hardware and NOT because it took some ideas from that overpriced piece of garbage from Apple.
Anyway, right until 10.x Apple was still operating more-less like Win 3.11.

End of civil liberties ?
Where did you read that ?

What do you want me to apologize for?
1. Writing debuggers is NOT what 99.99% developers do when programming for Windows.
2. I never said nobody uses pipes on Windows. I said , compared to other IPC mechanism, pipes are not what one would call "popular technique".
True, but only if you are trying to force solution using your learned Unix "tricks".
There are ways to get Windows to do almost anything that Unix does, and do it as efficiently and elegantly as Unix, but more often than not it requires completely different approach.
1-4 Almost nobody uses pipes on Windows.
5. Windows has semaphores, shm, messages and sockets.
That is stupid.

"you are being manipulated."
/. but you won't be successful.
I know you are trying vary hard to do just that here on
Not in my case, anyway.

Yeah, when people want to be free , where the fuck do you think most of them go ?
So what would be your solution ? ...
Seriously, please give us an example of what you think US and other industrial powers should be doing here
Heh, it is true ...
US is a place where corporations go to incredible lengths to protect themselves from lawsuits or community protests (which more often than not includes pacifying protesters/local communities with some perks etc)

But of course, it does not fit into your view of US so it can't be true...
So what you saying is that appointing conservatives is a travesty while liberals are fine and as such cannot be considered partisan ...
"Seems pretty silly dosnt it....."
Just as silly as your stupid single-minded attacks at US.
You are too blind to notice that your are not much different than people you oppose so vigorously.
That is an old , same , class-warfare style propaganda.
It has been done before, it doesn't work in the long run.
Dude, why do you post about stuff you obviously have no clue about ?

Seems like we are all trolls , if we dare to challenge you.

Get real.
You are not against White House but against Bush.
