It isn't as advanced as other Twitter clients like Twitdroid for my G1, but if you are investing the time writing a Twitter client for KDE I am sure the choqok developers are open to ideas.
For example, choqok as of version 0.5 doesn't have Follow/Unfollow functionality as far as I can tell.

After hearing about a lack of networks in many places where CVT operates we discussed the use of flash drives to transfer information. At this point my inner geek jumped up and screamed: "It's a sneakernet!" My co-workers hadn't heard the term before and thought it catchy enough to make part of the marketing for a campaign to solicit used flash drives to send to CVT locations overseas as well as partner organizations. The idea is simple, send CVT your tired, poor, and old flash drives. I'll scrub them and clean them up and make them ready to give away. No personal information will stay on a donated drive.
Rather, it languishes in tribal warfare made all the worse by the relatively recent influx of Islam which has torn the northern countries of Chad and Sudan to shreds.
How the hell do you qualify recent? islam came to North Africa oh back in the 8th and 9th centuries. Thats 1200 years.
Or by 'recent' do you mean you just heard about Chad and Sudan three weeks ago on the news and looked some factois on wikipedia and now are authoritative on North African history and politics?
Well, just like after MoveableHype came out with the license from hell I wrote the WordPress on freedom2operate tutorial and helped f2o welcome MT switchers. Now that weblogs.com is screwing people over I'd like to mention that Manila and weblogs.com refugees are welcome to make a switch to f2o. You don't have to use WordPress, but the tutorial makes it too easy to pass up.
If the idiot who designed the piece of crap Web site for the movie is reading this consider yourself responsible for losing a customer.
I don't have Flash running, and without Flash running there is no way to get any information on the movie, and you don't even have a link to complain about it.
Adding insult to injury, the 'no Flash' page is just a page containing an image. No freestanding text.
All you MT apologists need to check the license and double check your hosting setup. If your hosting provider hosts you on a dual CPU system then you break the license to use MT 3.
Besides, it isn't about the money. It is about the community. MT has quite the devoted community around the and Six Apart pissed on a lot of shoes.
Time will tell if it is worth it, but perhaps Six Apart now wants to get into the commercial CMS business dominated by other, just as crappy, outfits providing 'solutions' that include invalid markup, bad Information Architecture, and outrageous fees.
Count me a very happy WordPress user; the install is simple, no restrictions on use, and it validates. Most importantly though, no more using stupid
I absolutely refuse to use Flash. It could be the best thing since sliced bread, but I don't give a rats ass.
Java is only marginally better, neither Java nor Flash are Open Source and as such I don't care to learn them unless I specifically get paid for it.
More importantly though, I don't know if hospital terminals have Java support or Flash support. In any case, I do not consider it acceptable that terminals that are supposed to be secure have secondary software installed just for a small application like a Cardiac Index calculator.
Let me ask though, why do you think doing this in Java or Flash is a better solution than a server-side solution?
More importantly, you have the algorithm right there on the Web site, you can implement the calculator in whatever language you want.
Why would I want to sell it? It is an algorithm not written by me. My only effort was a simple implementation in PHP and XHTML.
You say the FDA would regulate pocket calculator output. Ok fair enough, I'll bite. Calculators are used on a daily basis for clinical data submission. Tabulating I&Os, figuring out dosages, etc.
What about PDAs? Are they to be regulated as well?
What about the choice of software you use in your computer systems? Some hospitals use Windows in a clinical setting. As an insecure Operating System that readily allows the installation of spyware, adware, and other malware, how can one be sure of any input on such a system?
Sure, the application might have all these supposed checks, but if the underlying system has holes you can drives truck convoyes through then how much good does that do you?
Working in hospitals, in a clinical setting, is what I do for a living. I don't doubt your experience, or your words, but I don't see how the FDA fits into a simple implementation of a calculation that some doctor called Fick came up with. Anybody with mathematical skills of a fifth-grader can double check the mathematics of Cardiac Index Calculator.
Since I wrote the app for my own edification I don't see how the FDA gets involved. At best I have no control over who uses the application.
Most importantly though: a Cardiac Index can be calculated by hand or by using a pocket calculator. Does the FDA regulate pocket calculator outputs in hospitals?
I am never sure if the IT department is going to turn JavaScript off at the terminals.
Most importantly though, I use PHP because I like it, and to teach myself. I am generally not disposed to learning languages that I can turn off at the browser and whose implementations vary from browser to browser. It is bad enough with markup languages.
If the server goes down the Nurses can calculate the Fick CI by hand as they usually do. This is is just a calculator.
At some point it is likely that the application is going to be implmented on our stations' intranet in which case I might not be able to use PHP anymore in which case I have two options: rewrite using JavaScript or ASP. If the former then we'll have to make sure JavaScript remains turned on, if the latter then it is my employers problem not mine.
I'll add the unit measurements. The nurses hadn't mentioned it so it slipped my mind.
I can't help it if you can't find the refresh button on a browser...
See what you are designing... How do you handle writing C++? Do you use 'Design View' too?;)
These application are only more effective if you care whether you output HTML at all.
If you don't care and just want pretty pictures and some text, sure. Remember, HTML is only HTML if it validates. Without validation it is not HTML and you could be using anythig you want.
Also, it is markup, not code. Just because Dreamweaver calls it code view doesn't give you license to be dense.
It all depends, at some point we could be using SVG, or an extension of SVG to model 3D graphics. Then by all means use vi. personally I think it is easier to change
<shape color="#ff000" type="square"/>
to
<shape color="#000000" type="cube"/>
for example than to click three buttons. I can always preview using a image viewer and/or browser.
Besides, comparing HTML to 3D graphics is a big stretch. I'll leave it at that.
What utter crap.
This is just utter nonsense. That's like claiming you can only write good programs using MSFT Visual C++
Ahem, how about not treating HTML like a layout language but treating it like the markup Language it is. Also, unless you are some throwback to the nineties there is no need for these the WYSIWYG editors when you use CSS.
I won't speak of the other industries, but one industry you clearly know nothing about is healthcare.
Yes, americans don't all have the best insurance, or any at all for that matter - but the care you get uninsured for $40 at the outpatient clinic down the street is vastly better than what most of the world gets.
Most countries focus their healthcare on preventative medicine. There is a reason the US has to have the most high-tech and expensive medical system; because there is no decent control of preventable diseases and injuries.
Many cases coming into the ER, and they pay a lot more than 40 USD my friend, are there because they were perfectly preventable cases that went on for too long because healthcare was not affordable in a non-emergent medical system.
Before you make unintelligent and uninformed pronouncements about how good the free-market capitalism is good for health care come work in healthcare and see the real cost.
When it comes to healthcare the vast majority of Americans are not served well by the free market.

Give the poster a break. Given the 7-digit UID the poster probably doesn't know better.

Better licensing? What kind of crack are you smoking? The license has not changed.
If you are going to make some sort of comment about licensing then maybe you should see if it applies first.
Well, just like after MoveableHype came out with the license from hell I wrote the WordPress on freedom2operate tutorial and helped f2o welcome MT switchers.

Slashdot doesn't support proper HTML. Asking for MathML is a lot in that context.
well, since you know so much about both Java and Flash, I suggest you run along and implement. :)
