  1. Re:Not native on Qt 5.1 Adds Android and iOS Support · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Qt doesn't do tool bars correctly.

    Yes, it does. Love your narrow test case of OSX, which I have used briefly and not in this context, and don't anticipate using again unless prodded. Try looking at Qt on Windows, Gnome, or KDE, guy.

  2. Re:Not native on Qt 5.1 Adds Android and iOS Support · · Score: 1

    Intertesting, in some apps the only way I was able to tell it was a Qt app was by noting the "About Qt" help menu item. You must be looking at ancient versions of the Qt libs. Or something. Qt is really slick these days.

  3. Re:Hacker = Script Kiddie? on The Rise of Everyday Hackers · · Score: 1

    Huh? How is this 'stupid', exactly? This is a very informative article. Or are you of the "see no evil" persuasion?

  4. Re:Because they were good on Why Are We Still Talking About LucasArts' Old Adventure Games? · · Score: 1

    What happened to Lucas Arts: I loved Afterlife, although essentially pointless (you spend your game time in a vain effort to balance Heaven and Hell, whatever that meant) it was relaxing and I spent hours at it. Then Half-Life came out and I never looked back. All the other stated reasons for waving bye bye to LA pale.

  5. Re:Are You Kidding Me? on Korea Tensions Lead To Delay Of Minuteman III Test Flight · · Score: 1

    Wars rarely go as planned. The history of NK is quite simple. NK wants trade and military concessions from the west; they threaten to go nuke, we say "ok, what do you want", China says "yeah, that's what they want", we give it to them, they shut up for a few years, it starts all over again. What's different now is China's had enough of it. So NK is doing the only thing it knows how to do; stamp it's feet harder.

    And now you understand why NK leadership acts the way it does.

    You're joking, right?

  7. Re:Is this not your local net police? on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Unwanted But Official Security Probes? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you weren't informed about it, how are you supposed to know that they are the good guys . . . ?

    Although annoying its completely within the company's rights to audit their security however they see fit, and I can see a number of reasons to do surprise, anonymous audits. And as another poster pointed out; complaining about it on /. probably isn't the brightest move.

    Yeah, nothing stupid ever happens in Europe.

  9. What Proof Neccessary? on Should the US Really Limit Chinese-Government Influenced IT Systems? · · Score: 2

    How much proof do you need that a little attention to national security might be a good thing?

  10. Game Engines to the Rescue on Mining Companies Borrow From Gamers' Physics Engines · · Score: 1

    I guess where speed and (digital) resource optimization has been the name of the game for years, so to speak, it should be no surprise that game engines have applications other than keeping neckbeards from scratching their zits.

  11. Re:Year of the Linux Desktop? on Valve Starts Publishing Packages For Its Own Linux Distribution · · Score: 1

    Oh, just as an aside, Steam for Linux just trotted out Half-Life Deathmatch for Linux and it rocks. There aren't a lot of Deathmatch Classic players out there, but there are a few, and the game is every bit as great as it was on Windows. And its free. Grab it and go Half-Lifers!

  12. Re:Year of the Linux Desktop? on Valve Starts Publishing Packages For Its Own Linux Distribution · · Score: 1

    ...only thing that ties them to Windows is games.

    That, and the demands of employers. I'm a contractor so I need to keep a Windows machine around to work on their stuff. I do more Windows development than Linux, but its really starting to tip the other way.

    I'm sure plenty would welcome the opportunity to not have to pay for Windows (or have the hassle of pirating it)

    Its not much of a hassle. Er, so I'm told.

    Funny, I tend to blame autocrats, conservatives and republicans...

    Implying there are no liberal autocrats, which is clearly not true.

    Sure wish I could fuck up as rich^H^H^H^Hbadly as them.

    Royalties from legacy products. Innovation? Oracle & Microsoft are in the same boat, scrambling for a life preserver. People aren't going to keep paying for Oracle and Windows if they're replaced by something that everyone else adopts (like they did Oracle and Windows...)

    There were folks dressed in colonial costumes and it was quite the sight.

    Colonial dress? Wasn't the Bounty His Majesy's Ship of the Line? The actors/actresses should have been dressed in costume common to Portsmith (Great Britain, not New Hampshire), or perhaps nude, as the natives of New Guinea.

    Uh-oh, the world's in trouble.

    Its foolish to believe that the PRK won't get squashed like a bug if it starts pulling a "James Homes", China is NOT INTERESTED in an out-of-control PRK. Calm down.

  20. Re:Didn't they get the memo? on North Korea Declares a State of War · · Score: 1

    well how many times can you announce that you're going to attack?

    What an utterly idiotic thing to say. What OP said is factually correct, officially there has existed a state of war between North and South Korea for 60 years, no armistice was signed when the Korean War ended. Get some knowlege before you oopen your mouth.

  21. Re:Ut oh. on North Korea Declares a State of War · · Score: 2

    This won't end well.

    If by not well you mean for the PRK, you're right. They won't get what they want this time (free food and other perks that they get every time they wag the dog). If you mean its going to end in some kind of fire fight, 100% wrong. You apparently are unaware of the history of this sick little state. I see they're building up Un like they did his father.

    Your a sick idiot. For all its problems the US and Europe isn't throwing its own citizens in prison camps for any dissent and waving nukes around demanding cash from the rest of the world. Its not an appropriate parallel at all. There's nothing proper or measured about North Korea in the least.

    If you really think this is about a personality clash you're a fool. North Korea is a sick, bellecose, belligerent pariah prison state and they're even pissing off their old friends the Chinese. This is not about dick size between Obama and Kim. This is a deranged psychopath waving a gun around a theater (East Asia).
