Yet, they translate the individual parts of the English compound to form a new German compound, while leaving the more broadly used word in the original English
Err, no... "Laufzeit" is a common german word and definitely not created through translation from the English. It's older then its use in CS.
Furthermore you can't get Hitler's "Main Kampf" or plans for explosives of weapons in stores.
Note that "Mein Kampf" is not banned in Germany, but in fact the domestic copyright holder (the state of bavaria if I'm not mistaken) does not grant permission to publish it.
Commercially licensable software with expanded IPv4/IPv6 routing, multicast, MPLS, L2/L3 VPN, virtual routing, and high availability support available at IP Infusion Inc.
So how do you know Linksys doesn't have it commercially licensed?
Maybe not now. But do you think its a coincidence that the ESA launch vehicle has a French name? That is because it was originally developed by the French long before the ESA existed.
Interestingly, Ariane's predecessor "Europa" already was a GB/France/Germany joint-venture where each country was responsible for one of the 3 stages of the rocket. Four launch-failures later the brits left the doomed project and the mainly french-driven Ariane-program was started.
SuSE is available for download from SuSE servers since ages. Just because it may not come in your preferred form (downloadable ISOs) does not mean you should spread your lies here on slashdot.
But both KDE and QT are released under the gpl license so technically they are gnu.
Nonsense. Using the GPL license does NOT make any software project part of the "GNU system". Assigning copyright over to the FSF and being accepted does. Last time I checked, Gnome was the FSF's favourite desktop environment.
And how are you planning to download ISOs without broadband??? You'll probably end up downloading less with SuSEs FTP-install anyway because you won't download packages you don't need.
Because you say so? Heck, a lot of people are very likely to install both products if for example they develop a 3-tier Application with Firebird as backend SQL server and testing the web-tier with Mozilla the browser.
Even naming the RPMs of both products non-confusing would be a challenge.
A Reuters correspondent stationed about 60 km (37 miles) southwest of Basra said: "Looking through a long-range night-vision lens, there is no evidence of fires at the Iraqi oilfields bordering Kuwait that we can see, or at least 50 km beyond that."
and
"If you look in the direction of the Rumaila oilfield (in Iraq) there is nothing on the horizon and no indication of fire," a second correspondent at the same location said.
It was Trolltech who ported QT to MacOSX [trolltech.com]. In my opinion, Apple's work is trivial and we'll probably be seeing more KDE apps being released by Apple.
But Joe Newbie is a newbie, and MySQL has all the features that he needs. So why would he have to learn about workarounds for features that he wouldn't need to use in the first place?
By that logic, Joe Newbie shouldn't have used MySQL in the first place, when simpler options like http://www.sqlite.org do exist. And guess what: SQLite supports transactions, triggers etc. And since it is a library rather than a separate process running on your machine, installation and usage is a lot easier than MySQL.
Save a webpage on your hard drive for future reference, load it in Konqueror, click a link on it and presto, your LOCAL file-path (file:/home/eyal/projectomega/ref.html) is sent as HTTP-REFERER to the webserver. No other browser does that. This tells a lot about how much KDE developers care about your privacy.
Did you sent in a bug report, or even better, a patch? Complaining is one thing, but helping to fix the issues at hand is the better alternative.
ORBit is by far the fastest ORB I've ever seen for inproc calls
Any numbers/benchmarks on that?
BTW: inproc calls, though pretty important for GNOME I guess, isn't exactly the main playground for CORBA applications. What about calls between processes on the same machine (Visibroker with its shared memory transport is quit good in that area) and calls between different machines?

Wrong! And whoever modded the parent up as informative could really use a brown paper bag ;o)

The use of the name in this case is non-confusing

But they were missiles, right?
Not all missiles would be illegal for Irak to have - you did know that, did you??
and
So is Rumsfeld lying?
Mod parent up!
Any source code yet? Is Lindows stealing from open source programers?
Since when are questions "insightful"? And these weren't even rhetorical ones... sigh

Safari does not use QT for MacOS X.

The rpms are GPL'ed so where can they be downloaded?
Find yourself someone you can borrow the CDs/DVD from or wait (some weeks/months) until SuSE makes the download version available.
Or buy it.
However, there is a UNIX desktop that doesn't clone windows [...] windowmaker
Yeah right, that one does clone Nextstep.
I guess its time to say goodbye to QT and open source KDE apps
Care to explain why?

How well does Linux run without libc?
libc != glibc
Just because noone bothers to use Linux with anything else than glibc nowaday doesn't mean that it can't be done.
SuSE.

There wasn't a useable ORB when Gnome started either, so they wrote one themselves
ORBit has not gained a lot of acceptance outside of GNOME. Could it be that it is not good enough?
Just wondering.
Python is GPLd. Java is not.
Python is NOT GPLd, it is more free than that.
It ist *GPL-compatible*, though.
