  1. Re:How do you pronounce Qt anyway? on Nokia Announces Qt 5 Plans · · Score: 1

    I personally say Queue Tee. I would say Cute if it were spelt Qute.

  2. Re: switch to xfce on Nokia Announces Qt 5 Plans · · Score: 1

    I've used xfce and it's pretty nice. The last time I did It was extremely bare bones, you added only what you wanted. I think that was their design philosophy or something so it's a safe bet, I think.

  3. Re:No they havent on Anonymous Denies Sony Claims of Disruption, Credit Info Theft · · Score: 1

    Actually, I don't believe just one person has responded. I believe Anonymous has. I've read that these sorts of press releases are always discussed at length by those involved in their writing. Many people contribute thoughts and ideas about what to write and how it gets written.

    Oh wow. Talk about schoolyard bully mentality, I feel sorry for his wife.

    Imagine if it was written in VB with EVERYTHING declared as an object. I've seen that kind of code. I told my boss there's no way I'm going to even try to port that code.

    But what would happen to shares of the deceased? Your idea fails to account for this.

    You missed "Quiet".

    It's not just a style, it's the current state.

  10. Re:Goatse yet again on Portal 2 Bringing Steam To the PS3, Possible Early Release · · Score: 1

    Try double-clicking (I think). I learned recently that double-right-click brings up the browser context menu. Then you can select "Open in new tab" or whatever.

  11. Re:Crafty, I guess on Portal 2 Bringing Steam To the PS3, Possible Early Release · · Score: 1

    Yeah. I really wish Heavy Rain had been released for PC as it was originally going to be. I definitely would have bought that game. I find it rather stupid how people sign these exclusivity deals thinking they'll make more money when in reality they miss out on tonnes of sales from those who don't want to fork over hundreds of dollars just to buy the console required to play their game.

    *shrug* As if it would make a difference. He's already demonstrated that he has no life or intelligence.

  13. Re:PC VS PS3 Pwonage! on Portal 2 Bringing Steam To the PS3, Possible Early Release · · Score: 1

    Absolutely, provided the aiming aids built into console titles are disabled. People claim to kick ass at console titles with huge kill counts and so forth. I've even personally heard people say they believe they do better at consoles than on PC (bullshit). All those console games have code specifically geared around correcting the player's aim. Let's disable that code in those games and see just how awesome those players think they are when they fire at their feet or straight up into the sky instead of directly at an enemy's head.

    Uh no, he's basically laughing at how bad you are at trolling. He's calling you pathetic at being a troll. In other words, you suck at trolling. Shall I paint you a more accurate picture?

    Better yet, ban the use of URL shorteners. This isn't twitter.

    Nope, it has everything to do with the text boxes we typed our responses into.

    See. SEE! This is why leet-speak is bad. Symbols like parentheses shouldn't be used as part of words, leet speak only encourages that.

    Take the time to fix bugs and release something even better.

    I had the same problem as everyone else, thanks for pointing this out. Double clicking the right mouse button seems to bring up the context menu as should be expected by a single right click.
