Qt Becomes LGPL

· Score: 4, Insightful
Think about Xfree. it was basically a closed monopoly. Then X11 grabbed it and opened it up further. Has it improved things? Absolutely. Basically, we NEED competition. GNOME is good competition, vs. say MS's form of competition (involving lots of dirty tricks and legal maneuvers).
Did Netcraft confirm it? Or is it MS that is trying to do that?
It is a mistake to even think of porting

I use to be a KDE developer, and I have to say that I love QT/KDE platform (and still use it). But with that said, I find that OSS moves faster BECAUSE of friendly competition, not in spite of it.
It is not just good enough to have a none IE browser. They NEED to move the customers OFF of windows. If YOU do not understand that, then nobody can help you.
This resource CAN be recovered. What is needed is for a little bit of RD to be done to figure out how to automate the recover of resources and stored for later use, or simply sold. It is crazy that the west buys products from China, and then pays to ship back the "trash" when it contains USEFUL resources.
is that it keeps ppl on MS platform. As long as that happens, Google will be fighting a SLOW DEATH. If they can take the battle to a different yard, at least it is fair.
Well, I am now 49. W was between my father's and my age when he went into office, though closer to my fathers. He did look younger than my father, but that was expected. NOW, W looks MUCH older than my father. Yes, W DOES look old.

WHile I agree that no man should be treated like royality, the issue here is how rough is the job of POTUS. Well, look at all the presidents who have held the job (WHILE BEING PAMPERED). Each of them are aged 2-3 years PER year. Look at how haggard W is coming out. And the man was a drunk, coke head (even coke seller if you believe ppl from Austin), and a failed business man prior to being gov of texas (a relatively easy job since it is has little power). IOW, 3 items that normally age a person does not compare to what W went through with this. Then think in terms of Clinton, Poppa Bush, reagan, Carter, etc.
I agree with the parent to you; Pamper the man; we need him making the BEST choices possible. After all, we have seen the results of bad choices of what is still today, the most powerful nation.
Until recent times, they could not even create a decent web site. Unable to be read by even Google. I noticed that I could not use either Linux firefox or konqi to read their site. Says a lot about their engineers if they are able to design something as simple as that.
With that aside, the one thing that bugs me about Ares * is that Ares I is in the same class as many other launch vehicles, while Ares V is the absolute monster. OTH, Direct starts with a 50% bigger launch vehicle over the ares I, and then moves up to 2/3 of the Ares V. It is possible to actually move later from the Jupiter 232 to something bigger. Basically, the idea fills more of a missed void. Interestingly, it still leaves open the use of Spacex/Orbital. The reason is that both of these will be MUCH cheaper to run than the jupiter. In addition, it is POSSIBLE for Musk to still pursue a Ares class or bigger @ a cheaper costs.
They want ppl to feel like they are doing something to help the nation. It is no different than when W has been saying that American airports, ports and harbors are secure. They are not. It is more work, but it is still possible to smuggle weapons on-board aircraft (in fact, far too easy). The same is true of Mumbai. Assume that these guys want to attack again. So what? They simply rig an encrypted wifi close by and then use it for themselves. VERY easy to do. In fact, they can even set up some systems where they are 5KM away and use an antenna to beam to the top of the hotel. From there, plug in various antenna's just prior to the attack. It is that simple.
The tough part about this is that while the oil price remains low, it will hurt these efforts. EVERYBODY, but Saudi Arabia wants oil prices up around 70-90/bl. Saudi realizes that America is gearing up to dump oil and wants price at around 60 for awhile (which is their minimum needed). Of course that is hurting not just our AE efforts, but also Iran and Venezuela. I am not sure that the Saud's care one way or another about these 2 countries.
the new system will be buried amongst all the window-based phones. Customers will have to dig for it. Now, if the stores would quit taking payoffs while making razor thin profits, then this phone could be knifing into iphone. Sadly, it will take hitting somebody over the head with a shovel to change things.
You can not live without water. How about we put you at 100' down in a lake and release you without tanks? Or lets try have you eat a teaspoon of copper? Or perhaps a lb of sodium chloride? It is ALWAYS about propotions.
Not only is oil subsidized, but so is coal. The feds have paid BIG bucks for coal miners health (and continue to). Diregard the issue of Carbon emissions, and instead pay attention to Mercury and lead emission. Why do you think that ppl can no longer eat sushi everyday? Mercury. And where did 90% come from? Coal plants. Acid rain? Mostly Coal plants. "Clean" coal received billions from congress. Who subsidizes the medical costs of these? We do
So, when I hear ppl saying that Wind and Solar only exists BECAUSE of gov interference, I just have to laugh.
Humans can make quick decisions. In addition, putting missions on mars is NOT just about knowledge. It is about getting us off this planet. Yes, some ppl would rather rot here and not worry about being hit by a massive asteroid, a virus, or even a gamma ray blast. BUT others of us, including most of the best and the brightest, say get off here. Keep in mind, that within 20 years, SOMEBODY will be there. The question is who and how.
At that time, he will try to outdo the other republicans and create true energy savings by limiting the tv to 1 channel to save energy. Fox news, all the time, everywhere.
some, like myself, believe that the first few set of ppl should be going on one way trips. To live there AT LEAST a decade. They should count on dying there. We would send supplies. If they survive, and we finally build a base there, then they can come back (why they would is another issue).
In light of our economy and a need to renew interest in science, It is POSSIBLE that it could replace top model. My guess is that it will require some interesting hosts and a tongue in cheek approach to it (think jon stewart). Heck, there are some bright actors and actresses. Approach one of them to do it.

what exactly will this be used for? It makes more sense to build a digger.
THe hard part is that we did this already; The shuttle had the same issue.

have they found the secret moon base that ppl claim we have? :)

you do not regret it, either next day, or later in life.

It is a sad thing that nobody tells you anything and that you do not know how to use Google.
Algae is COMING on line NOW. Cellulosic ethanol will most likely fail before Algae owns the AE market. The reason is that Algae can be grown 3d, whereas Cellulose comes from a 2D. How different is it? Solix has already achieved production of 1,500 gallons an acre per year at a test plot in Fort Collins, and the company is expecting yields of 2,500 to 3,000 gallons an acre per year, said Mr. Henston.
In contrast, soybeans, the main source of biodiesel used in this country, yields 50 to 70 gallons per acre. BTW, this is just ONE of more than 5 companies gearing up for this. Take a look at green Gunk.

Dell shut down all their plants in America and shipped them to China. Your plant is remaining in Europe. Personally, I have quit buying Dell.
Buy one and simply flash it.

Then congress will find it easier to kill off individual space programs.
