"Does either of those have platform independent threading, sockets, etc?"p.
err yes for wx atleast. i can only conclude you don't know what your on about.
bullcrap. name a platform qt works on that wx or gtk doesn't? i admit gtk looks crappy on some, but wx looks native on all of them AND provides a shit load of default widgets
what kind of noob wants LESS clacky? the best keyboard i ever owned was a keytronics keyboard. it weighed about 5kg and had STEEL SPRINGS for the return tension. it's clickity clack was unrivaled, people across the road ducked for cover when i typed because the sound resembled machine gun fire.
the thing was about 10 years old and still going strong.
it's only just better then total bullshit though. using his own benchmarks linux is a piece of crap for dropping features, and we should bash it for each any every poorly coded OSS project (believe me there is a LOT)
"And that software is usually buggy. It passes bad parameters to API calls, uses memory that it has released, assumes that files live in particular hard-coded locations, all sorts of things that it shouldn't do.'"
and this has exactly what to do with MS? the coding habits of programmers has NOTHING to do with MS.
and no petrol doesn't explode like it does on the movies.
also, what's the battery life like on these? do they need replacing every 5 years?if so how much is that going to set you back, and have they factored that into thier 135mpg figure?
how is that different to the stupid blog in the story? this guy is clearly out to sway the audience in favour of his preffered os. I fail to see why people invest so much emotion into this, if MS truely was so aweful no one would be using it. MS does something right, it's why they have stayed so much bigger than everyone else
my car could be a torture device as well, if i used it to crush your legs on purpose.
how come the UN hasn't classified cars as torture devices? oh that's right because the UN frequently says stupid UN that they don't think through.
torture is about the applicantion not the object. lets say we took tasers off cops, would you preffer a baton across the back of the legs? the baton will leave huge bruises, where the taser leaves a tiny pin prick. i've been shocked be similar voltage to a taser and while it sucks, it's really not that bad, you get over it quickly there is no lasting effects.
the problem is that people today don't respect police officers, so they are forced to use tasers to bring people into line. there is NO alternative if you want to maintain law and order.
1. what makes you think it's more economical now? the price of cabling sure hasn't gone down.
2. your example ignores the fact you'd be stringing the line under the mediterannean. under sea cables are a whole lot more expensive.
3. even if you crossed at the most narrow point, it's still greater than 7000km (you best case) from any fesible site in africa into northern europe. remember you are proposing a solar site. that means costal area's are OUT.
CO2 does NOT belong in that list. it's a harmless gas that's present naturally, and it's a very minor greenhouse gas, of which we only contribute 0.28% of.
define useful though. i'm not arguing that data centers can't be better, i'm arguing against the retarded notion that computers are somehow bad for the environment.

this is the death blow for any forum, NO ONE is going to give you their CC or drivers license (atleast their real one)

all the conspiracy theories are too over the top. the business world is no where near this dramatic.
the telco's were terrifed of this sell off because it would challenge their hold on the last mile.

seriously, "iron infused plastic and gold electronics"? way way too much masturbating.
do you think it's going to come anywhere NEAR $24.75 for only 220miles? didn't think so ....

people will choose the software they feel suits their needs best. shockingly it's not always going to be linux.
I'd want the one that does the best job. fuck open source if it's inferior.
ironic, by buying shares he is helping to fund the video game industry.

boo fucking hoo.

it's the only thing it can be. according to "experts" space travel is impossible
they offered 4 billion for a web company. that's pretty fucking serious no matter how you cut it.

never mind the transmission loss. great idea genius.

you have to keep your masses huddled and quivering.
