actually, isn't QT only LGPL if you're not selling your software?
so for something like borland or people who don't make a living off selling their software (which some people do) can't use it.
also, (not having used wxWindows nor wxPython, but having using python, C++, java, obj-c, etc) i would expect that any application written in C++ would be alot more stable and easily transitioned to other computing platforms (using a cross-platform toolkit, such as QT or wxWindows) than a scripting language, just by nature of the fact that C++ has had years to mature on multiple computing platforms, and yet, with all the correct cools, libraries, sane tool chains, etc, getting python built correctly is still a pain in the ass on windows, mac os x and linux (redhat 9).
what, like you mean being a drawn animation rather than a rendered news ticker and being displayed on a very famous and obviously satirical show on a differnet channel than fox news?
i'm not a programmer really, i havent' had a compute r science class since high school (10 years ago) but I was able to pick up bash scripting a second.
why bother re-inventing the wheel. if you're doing something simple that coul dbe handled with pipes and redirects and simple unix commands (wc, cmp, diff, cksum, etc) and it's repetitive, just write a bash script.
if you're talking about full-featured programming, regexps and everything then why would you want to do it in a shell script.
remember: you don't screw in screws with a hammer and you don't eat soup with a knife.
The only useful thing about Opera is the WML support built in.
It's user-interface is a nightmare of confusing options, too much cutter and annoying configuration. When I install something I shouldn't have to spent two hours making it useable. It should just work.
Also, it still doesn't fully support all the standards well (CSS and DHTML support still lack) and it's mac build is worse than the mac build of firebird.
At my current job we use Jabber internally to talk to each other so we don't have to send passwords and the like out over the internet, and use encryption it as well. Jabber is probably the biggest pain the ass to set up and administer and still not all of the clients support enough of the feature set (not even the daemons do) for it to be useful.
Not saying that it's any better than some of it's competition. At my last job (employer shall remain nameless, but let's say it's Gimbles to Yahoo's Macys and is owned a Spanish company) I was on the team implementing the new IM launch. (yeah! IM in 2003! Let's clean up that market share with our reach. Oh wait. Damn.) It was (is) based on IBM/Lotus' IM implementation (sadly the name escapes me right now) which was just as much of a pain in the ass. At least with Jabber you can view all the databases, files, etc...
Still, I really doubt jabber will ever gain the critial mass it needs to be the IM software of choice. Not until a company oike AOL, Yahoo! or MS picks it up and starts using it. And that's as likely as Lycos overtaking Yahoo! in the search market by aquiring Google.
do you think it might be because they're launching a blogger service of their own and want people to switch...hm?
[evil]i helped build the tripod.com blog service, and man we never thought of anything this insidious. i'll have to tell my friends who still work there. they could send 'em to a sign-up page. [/evil]
Actually, if you'd read up on your WWII history, you'd know that gliders were acutally an integral part of the D-Day invasion in 1944. They were sent in before the the land-invasion and knocked out communication lines to prevent the beach-head forces from calling for more re-enforcements.
It acutally turned into a rather big debacle as many of the gilders did not perform well, killing their soliders, and many that did operate correctly did not make the designated target, landing miles and miles away from where the soldiers were supposed to be.
But, unless you're running the X server for OSX, that's about were it stops. The entire graphics, sound and control systems are completely different if you're building an Aqua application (native OSX). Unless you're using some crossplatform GUI like wxPyhton or QT or something, or openGL (which OSX uses) you're going to have a hell of time making that game fully compatible
there's nothing better than seeing that ghostface killa just did 120 HP of damage, or that ol dirty (or big baby jesus, or dirt mcgirt) just bought a new gun.
You can use this hack/work around to support it in IE 5.5 and greater: http://redvip.homelinux.net/varios/explo rer-png-en.html
and if you're using them for background images, you can either make your stylesheet compile on the fly using php or perl or pyhton or whathave you or make two seperate versions and let the browser decide what it wants like i did on my site
the real trick is not to use PHP on a per page basis, but as a program.
I think of my web-apps as applications, not websites, where the browser is the display component. I write one index.php that has a "command line" (an HTTP GET) variable that defines what the "action" is (and any number of other variables necessary)
the action defines what "page" you're looking at, and then I use a templating language (acutally, I hacked together a very ugly perl html::template port so i can use html::template syntax which i'm familar with) to acutally make the pages.
each action is a function, so it makes for very clean code.
Nor, do I think you work on a LOT of websites. I'm the senior web developer for the also-ran search engine, and without BBEdit and OS X, i'd scream.
BBEdit lets you do GREP-based search and replace across multiple open files, files in a directory, has code clean up options and the such.
I write all of my code in BBEdit, JS, CSS,XHTML, PHP, whatever...layers, multiple frames..whatever. It's still the best text editor i've ever used, bar none
i can type approximately 110 wpm on a qwerty keyboard, why do i want to retrain, remove the key caps on all seven of my keyboards and piss off people using my systems?
this seems like an argument from the camp of people who want everyone, including their elderly grandmother, to use linux because "it's right," with no regard for the user's preference.
i often times want to put about seven things in my clipboard at once and i end up having to open a text document and paste all the selections i need in them becuase the clipboard has no memory.
i can't share with anyone in my office, but this feature alone makes it awesome.
yeah. my company which shall remain nameless but lets just say that when you think of the also-ran to yahoo, you might come up with this massachuetts, nee, spain based web portal...
anyway, we moved our services over from solaris to linux to save us some money on some intel commodity hardware (which was a huge success) but we had massive problems with flock() over NFS on the linux machines that we never encountered with Solaris. It would lock up, and do really nasty things. It look like a month to get the flock() problem resolved (mostly through some brilliant work arounds) but it was a pain in the ass.
spacers made out of gifs are completely valid form of XHTML syntax, as long as you're closing your img tag with the/> "empty" tag ending.
now, structurally, no you shouldn't use them, but even strict rendering in mozilla will render those correctly and not throw an exception.
you are right in saying that they shouldn't be used, that's why we have css and preciese lay-out in pixel-widths and the such. but GIF spacers are 100% valid XHTML 1.0.
A MIDI pickup can take the tones created by the analog guitar and transform them off board into MIDI signals, which then can be used to make other noises.
This guitar is ENTIRELY digital. Not a MIDI pickup, but ENTIRELY digital.

I have a 10 gig ipod, stuffed to the gills.
but it's only 1/4 of my mp3 collection (all ripped from legally purchased cds and records i own, of course. slashdotters don't do anything illegal...)
so yeah, a 40 gig woul dbe great. and that's only about half my physical music collection.
i like variety. there are days where there is nothing i want to listen to on my ipod. out of some 2,000+ songs.
well, actually, the WWW is from switzerland via an englishman.
wrote the first server and browser on the NeXT. In fact, his browser was even graphical.

firebird still runs slow as a dog on my linux machine, but galeon runs really quick.
so until they can get firebird to be as responsive, it'll always be annoying to use.
OSX is based on BSD.
This much is true.
But, unless you're running the X server for OSX, that's about were it stops. The entire graphics, sound and control systems are completely different if you're building an Aqua application (native OSX).

You'd think but I recently bought a car and needed to get the pre-insurance inspection photos done.
and it was done with a digital camera, so the insurance companies don't seem to be too mindful of this.
of course the owner of the car doesn't ever handle the photos so that might be the reason.
I'd love to see if that would compile under OS X, it supposedly supporting all the NeXT stuff.
It would be neat to see what it would do with today's web pages. Anyone have source?
is a clipboard history.
i often times want to put about seven things in my clipboard at once and i end up having to open a text document and paste all the selections i need in them becuase the clipboard has no memory.

you can't go a few weeks without programming? and you went to vietnam. and you wanted to program.
