Depends on how you look at it.
Windows 95 had to be more backwards compatible with MS-DOS than any other OS at the time and had to support an extremely large installed base of legacy software and hardware. Given these design contraints, it's amazing that Windows 95 ran at all.
The wxWidgets mailing list has always been helpful, but compiling the latest stable (2.4.2) release of wxGTK was just a simple matter of issuing a "--enable-gtk" on the configure command line for me.

He says "working through GTK rather than natively hurts it". There is no "native" toolkit on X. Unless you're talking about raw Xlib or perhaps Athena since thats the widget set that actually comes with X. I can't imagine having wxWindows wrap Athena being any better than wrapping GTK, and if you want it to use Xlib directly theres the wxUniversal port.

Whatchoo talkin' about, Willis? On Windows, you can either have wxWidgets wrap around the native Windows controls or use the wxUniversal port where wxWidgets reimplements all of the widgets itself much like how Qt does it.
I suppose you can also try getting wxGTK compiled on Windows, but why in the world would you ever want to do that?
In Maryland, at least, you can use Artsys to look up which classes transfer to where and how they transfer in as at the receiving institution. I made heavy use of this as I too went through a number of institutions to get my bachelors in computer science. However, all the schools I went to were in Maryland and all of my classes transferred to the other schools without any problems.

How is being compensated for one's work the same as saying "give me free shit". I have bills to pay, and working for free doesn't pay those bills. You'll realize that just as soon as you move out of your parents' basement and into the real world.
I have the right to charge as much as I want for a product that I create. It would of course be in my best interest to charge a fair price, otherwise a competitor would most likely come around and offer the same thing but for a better price. If I don't, I wither away and die, which is how it should be. How is that not capitalism?

Oh... but isn't it always voluntary? Nobody is holding a gun to your head forcing you to shell out money, is there? If you don't like the price, look elsewhere. If nobody provides the same thing for the price you're looking for, either do it yourself or suck it up and pay the price.

That's fine as long as you don't go ahead and use their work without paying for it (assuming the developer wants you to pay for it). If you don't want to pay, then don't use it.
And IMHO, it's not as good as the Justice Leage. I don't like format of the new JLU show. Instead of two-parter episodes, each episode is it's own 20 minute story (excluding commercials). This leads to stories that don't have as much depth and feel more "rushed" compared to the two-parter format of the JL series.

By virtue of being dumb, a dumb person will consistenly make more dumb decisions compared to a smart person. Therefore, their opinions should be held with much less value, if at all.
This is not the same argument that kept women and blacks from voting. Women and blacks were kept from voting simply because they were women or black. The reason for this is probably because it was thought that they were dumb because of this fact. We now know this to be false; a person's gender or race usually has very little bearing on their overall level of intelligence.
However, a person can be dumb (regardless of race or gender), and therefore their opinions will probably be dumb as well. It would be more beneficial and better use of time to listen to the smart people first.

By that logic I guess we shouldn't write applications in C or C++ too. After all, they're not open standards either - they are just ANSI standards.
