The idea is that if you want to keep YOUR source code closed, you need to license a commercial license from them. If you are writing an open source (GPL) application, then you can use the GPL'd QT. If you are writing a closed source proprietary application, you *can't* use the GPL qt, so you license the closed source one from trolltech.
No. They hired Rob Pike because he's Rob Fucking Pike. He's the Pike in Kernighan & Pike. K&P and K&R are just about as standard as you can get....who cares if they want to create an OS, a Browser, or just ask him "Bob, what do you think?" -- because quite frankly ANY of those are valid.
The problem that religious conservatives will face is that the judges that have typically sided with them have done so in the name of states rights and preventing a large federal government from existing. When you call the bench "Conservative" -- you are correct, but you are forgetting what the word means. Conservative vs Liberal actually refers to your interpretation of the commerce clause. Hence, CONSERVATIVES have no problem with you (royal you, not you specifically) buying your nra-sponsored armor-piercing-napalm bullets in Texas, and also (at least in theory) have no problem with my sodomy in new york. Basically, stay the fuck out of my backyard *and* my bedroom. The issue comes up with bills like DOMA... a "conservative" base finds such things an anathema, as they put the federal government where it doesn't belong. *That* is why the bench voted the way they did -- the Commerce Clause has been far too abused. It is high time that Thomas put his votes where his mouth has been with regards to the abuse of the commerce clause (Ashcroft v. Raich comes to mind....) For as much as you think that *RELIGIOUS* "Conservatives" wield such ridiculous power over the legislative and judicial branches, I am glad to say they do not. Many of my fiscally conservative friends, all of whom typically vote republican, are abhored at the idea of a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. Please, don't confuse "Conservatism" with "Religious Nutjobs." For the record, gay marriage is the new political bread & circuses -- distracting the nation from far more important topics. [As one of my straight co-workers says, "WHO THE HELL CARES? Don't we have more important things to worry about...like war, and the fact that the dollar is in the shitter?"]
Also, re-reading back a few posts, I realized you were responding to the gp's stupidity. Unfortunately, you dropped down to his level and instead of eloquent bitchyness, I read only similar stupidity. My apologies.
Yes. Problem? Move to a red state, and not the ones where LCR has a notable presence. Oh, and not to any of the ones that still have a sane court system. (Lawrence v Texas proves that there is plenty of intelligent life in the Lone Star State.) Slashdot.org has plenty of homo-mac fanbois, in case you haven't noticed....and a ridiculous percentage of accepting, comfortable heterosexuals. (Despite assertions to the contrary...most of my geek friends are now married (!) and none have ever offered even the slightest homophobia. Smart geeks tend not to be xenophobes, homophobes, or racists....)

Al Sharpton: Could I be heard your honor? I heard about this matter I would like to address this court on what I consider... Judge Sharpley: I'm sorry Reverend, but you have no standing here. Al Sharpton: I have standing as an American citizen speaking up on a civil rights violation. Judge Sharpley (Speaking while Sharpton speaks): Reverend Sharpton, I will ask you to step down, you have no standing here in this meeting. Sharpton (Speaking while Judge Sharpley speaks): I'm standing as Bobby Kennedy was standing on the steps of the courthouse in Alabama. Judge Sharpley: No one is denying this little girl an education, sir. She just can't play Annie. Al Sharpton: You may think this is a small matter, but this is no small matter. This child is being denied the right to play an American Icon because she doesn't match the description. Those descriptions were crafted 50 years ago. We suppose to be in a different day. Judge Sharpley: Reverend… Al Sharpton: You talk about racial equality, how we're making progress. The problem with that progress is it's always a day away. Tomorrow! Tomorrow! You love that because it's always a day away. I'm here to stick out my chin today. Today! Give us an African American Spider-Man. Give us a black that can run faster than a speeding bullet and leap over a tall building in a single bound. Not tomorrow, today. Today! The sun needs to come out today, not tomorrow your honor. God almighty, give the American people a black orphan Annie. It's just not good enough to say she doesn't look the part. (People clap) Al Sharpton (To Alan): That's what we call a rabbit son. Denny Crane. (Al Sharpton leaves)
Any news yet from grad schools? HLS has sent out letters (got mine dec 1, woot) but YLS has not. Bastards. Oh, and were you at the game this year? wink wink.
Were you raped by an insensitive porpoise as a child?;-) "Intensive purposes" is *far* worse buddy, save the real anger for that one.

The reason i'm being plusmodded funny is the TITLE of my post. If you click on a slashdot story before it backpropagates (I'm not quite sure how the slashcode works) you get an ERROR (Title bar set to "Slashdot error) from/. that says "Nothing for you to see here, please move along." The reason it is -1 OBVIOUS, is because there's a big white/blank page staring you in the face....
Luckily, you didn't have mod points and those that do get the joke.

Parent post isnt flamebait. It is the very essence of why spam filtering is a sucky solution at best. Even a single false positive is simply unacceptable! (because when you have 4million pieces of spam and 1 false positive, you're never going to notice it when you go into your "spam" folder) and it could be important! Speaking from personal experience. My father emailed me from a new email address -- he scanned my law school acceptance letter and just sent it to me, no subject line. Stupid inbox filtering (work email) thought it was spam....I realize it is anecdotal, but ALL false positives are anecdotal, and these are the exact anecdotal reasons that they arent acceptable.
...you can use any X11 window manager as a replacement for aqua. Your statement that "As you can only use the OS X wm for native programs" is patently false. Please read the hyperlink I made. X11 is NOT a second class citizen on OSX.
The whole point is that the statement is EASY to misinterpret if you don't realize that you can indeed, WHOLLY replace aqua with an x11 WM. Once you realize that, the GP post becomes decidedly unambiguous. Even you misread.....please follow the link and READ. *sigh*
