Together, they are cheaper, less like a huge warm cock and a much less obvious target for enemy intervention than the aircraft-based systems used to jam or monitor communications at the moment.
There is no suitable non-commercial version of QT available. There is no suitable GPLd version of QT available. The level of ignorance in my reply is not available.
The existance of incomplete code on a sourceforge project bears NO relevance for someone deciding upon a toolkit for free development, because it DOESNT WORK.
Your awareness of a non-functional sourceforge project doesn't make us ignorant, Trolling Coward. Who gives a shit? Likely, I never came across it when researching toolkits because no one can use it to build anything.
Last I checked, Qt had GPLd versions for X11, OS/X and win32 (win32 is not mature).
So, you are wrong. Qt *is* free and Qt *is* cross platform, even if you decided to ignore the win32 GPL version.
Now, crawl back under a rock, and start posting about things you are familiar with, like navel lint.
The GPL version of Win32 QT is out of date, and is not being further developed.
With the market share that Win32 has, support for it is an essential component of a portable toolkit if you are developing for the public.
I suspect that the ONLY reason that many developers would choose a toolkit is to achieve portability to platforms beyond Win32, and if they had to choose between making their program available to Win32 and making it available to everyone else, they'd choose Win32.
In this VERY typical case, if you want to build free software AND you want to see your mom use it, GPL'd QT is not an option.
My kid is in day care, and I've frequently thought that I'd love to be able to log on to a secure site and check up on her from my desk at work.
This sort of thing shouldn't be for the benefits of the police or the administration... it should allow the parents to keep an eye out for their kids. I know if my parents had an idea the kind of crap I soaked up as a kid, I would have had a much easier young life. This being a hang out for geeks, I'm sure lots of you know what I'm talking about:)
What's next, buy a used Ford and pay Ford to transfer the license for the onboard computer's OS or face piracy charges if you continue to drive?"
That would be awesome... I can't think of a better turn of events to bring the issue to the common man than to have copyright laws prohibit buying and selling cars. We need to suggest this to the big automotive companies.
The common term for it is irrelevant, the CORRECT term for it IS copyright-infringement. That is the legal term used, and this is a legal issue, so you really can't mix terms, I mean, for example, murder is NOT manslaughter.
That's right... particularly when you are slaughtering women.
And butchery... murder is often butchery, which is not precisely the same as slaughter.
Although to be fair, if you WERE slaughtering men, it's possible you might have murdered them; we just can't assume that you're wrong when you say you murdered them...

Licensees will only be required to release source code of Modifications they "Externally Deploy" (new Section 1.4, and Sections 2.1, 2.2). "External Deployment" is defined to cover the external distribution of APSL'ed code or use of APSL'ed code to provide a service (including content delivery) to a third party through electronic communication with that party.
Don't know how I feel about this one...
You can't run an application service provider program without releasing changes to all your clients, and possibly the public if your clients deal with the public?
You can't run a b2b service without releasing all your changes to your distributors that use it and your clients that use it?
This is very different from the "no black box public distribution" that I previously considered the GPL to represent.
If I had a client who sold widgets, and he had to release all his source to clients who connected to his b2b setup, allowing them to leave him and then give all his internal systems to his competitor, even though he never distributed his software, I don't think he'd be wanting to buy anything I built.
Could you insulate against this by putting a "dumb layer" between your apps? You could argue that ANY system that was interacted with by the public, however indirectly, required publication... in most businesses, this would eliminate the "internal deployment" angle almost totally, unless you had a typist carrying out your data-syncronisation work
Sure doesn't look like his objective was either to be 'peaceably' or to attempt to 'petition' the government. Looks like it was to violently oppose a government that was democratically elected and could quite as easily be democratically replaced -- if such a notion was popular.
Doesn't make a lick of difference what his objective was though, if he didn't act.
I didn't suggest that you SHOULD live off beer, just that you COULD if you needed to (like if all your crops rotted by January and you couldn't hunt worth a crap)
Would you say that V8 is a food? It counts as 2 serves of vegetables... but you can't live off it indefinately either.
It was originally concieved as a way to preserve grains that would otherwise rot through the winter. Beer is rich in carbs and B vitamins. You could live for months on beer alone if you had to. It certainly has a place in a healthy diet. I think wine might be better for you though...
Not that I'm condoning drinking American beer, mind you... there is real beer just across your northern border, ppl...
You may have to pay 12c per device that plays, but that's not really whats important. What can make this big news is if you can release media for free.
The problem with licensing fees for distribution formats is that you cant give away what you have made. Not too many ppl out there giving away DVD players. Software players might get stuck in the middle though....

This is informative?
I wouldn't think that the US would want something like this to exist. Think what some of these could do in a large city.
And they propose to drop them on the ground in unfriendly areas, where anyone can come along and pick them up!

I understand what the problem is...
Since the Win32 Blaster update was installed on our servers, the network admin has been let go... apparently his job just became redundant.
Do you like BSODs?!? Don't you wish you could leave the server room for 5 minutes?!? Aren't you sick of data corruption??!
I wrote Win32 Blaster, and since installing it on our server, we haven't had any of these problems that plague Windows boxes around the world.
Being the nice guy that I am, I wrote some "Automatic Update" code, and fixed all your machines. And you call it a virus and complain about it.
I'm not helping you anymore... fix your own damned problems.

The OCAA (Organized Crime Association of America) is suing the government over their "Anti-Theft" laws.
Their representative, known only as "The Don", says that the legislation cost their business 9.4 trillion US dollars last year.
"This is a staggering sum" said The Don
"That's the equivilant of the entire US GDP for that year. Do you know how many citizens can be employed with that kind of money?"
The White House refused to comment.
Is that true?
