I know it's probably just bad luck, or some ignorance on my part, but I gotta say that I bloody hate Qt. There are loads of applications I would like to run that use it, but every time I try to compile one I go through the same soul destroying and ultimately fruitless process.
This sounds like you hate your distro, not Qt. But since your distro seems to be Ubuntu, I've no idea what you're talking about. Installing Qt on Ubuntu is wee buns.
Agreed. And that's aside from the fact that no one should be celebrating job losses anyway. Granted, it would be nice if devs would quit microsoft in favour of paid work for a free desktop project, but job losses are never good, and it's just cheap to gloat over them. Those people have lives to live, dreams to fulfill, kids to feed, etc. Yes, microsoft as a company sucks. But really... grow the fuck up, and don't misrepresent free software's ideals please. We're about making lives better, not celebrating loss.
Except that GTK+ is much more of a portability layer than the web for anything that actually starts off using a modern, fully developed GUI with context menus, 3D rendering, context sensitive help, accessibility, etc (which isn't available on the web, and won't be for years).
No PC retailer would dream of selling a PC without a browser. PC retailers are quite capable of choosing appropriate browsers and installing them without microsoft's help.
Well, I was ruling out knapped blades because we're talking about knives, and I'd never seen a flint blade in proper modern knife form, and also because I wasn't aware of any technology other than knapping which offered them a deliberate choice to serrate the edge. However, it seems you're quite right. I stand corrected.
I've been tapping and tapping, and all I got for my trouble was a broken fingernail.
This is why you should leave it to the professionals. I bet you just went ahead and arrogantly acted like an expert without even buying a proper pair of tap shoes.
That's a dumb argument. I still slice bread with knife, a technology which has been around for thousands of years
Breadknives have NOT existed for thousands of years. You seem to be confusing the modern breadknife (a light, strong, sawtoothed instrument made specifically for cutting a certain relatively modern material, from certain relatively modern kinds of steel) with relatively blunt, heavy, non-serrated non-steel general utility blade.
Technology moves on, even for the humble knife. That applies much more, to highly complex, modern, young technologies like operating systems.
unless you hunt them out, you'll never know most of Google's services even exist.
Indeed. And that's a big issue with some of their better services.
For example, initially, I was really panicking as I read this headline, as I tend to rely on some google services a lot. Thankfully, re-reading showed that they're only cancelling "six" services, not their sex services.
I don't think they are misleading at all. When the leader (or future leader) of a country publishes something through an official channel, it should be equally accessible to all citizens. Of course there will be some way for people to bypass that official version and get the information elsewhere -- that will be true as long as people talk in bars. It doesn't change the fact that the leader chose to discriminate against portions of his own citizenry. Moreover, no other channel can be trusted to be the full and complete version, as the official channel can (or should) be able to be trusted.
Warning: I haven't played with samba4 yet (because debian's packages still have "experimental" plastered all over them). That said, I'll take a guess at this.
They should be authenticated per session, not per file request. If that auth is done via kerberos, it should also used cached tokens from the client, with only minimal checks that the token is valid. All that remains is the actual ACL/permission checking, which wouldn't be much different from another file shared over a network. I'd be surprised if Apache doesn't already have some mechanism to cache those ACL/permission lookups.
It's modern, it's Java-based, it's easy to setup, it's open source, and it's made by Apache. What more could you want?;-)
Well, admittedly, that sounds good. But for the next version, can we please add on NOT java based?;)
The professional java language, I love. The professional java APIs, I love. The JRE? Horrible. I wish it had just been compiled to native code from the beginning. Bring on Vala, I say.
Damn. I heard the Sun Directory Service was decent, and so I was excited when I saw this. We certainly seem to need an alternative to redhat's directory service, considering how little uptake there's been from ubuntu, etc.

Indeed. Minesweeper always was more on their level.
Sounds a bit like the stores around here.

No need for a firefox plugin. You can block this crap simply by adding "127.0.0.1 slashdot.org" to your etc/hosts file.
"OK YouTube Dudes. We're going to officially use your site for our vids, and link to you from the president's own website. Sell us your souls, OK?"
"Uhh, wow. OK. ...You know, we would've settled for a mention during primetime."
This is called defamation, which you can be put in sued for --- for much more than $400. Good job.

I'd rather have him as a shrunken head.

If you stop saying thankyou, and go around the other side of the screen, they'll bend you back upright.
Some people just have to be different.
I'm also surprised it has taken this long. Which is why I'm not waiting.
You must be thinking of the 16k visual spectrum. This is referring to the Spectrum 128k.

Most of the companies I know of that fit that description have went bust in the last few weeks.

Ostensibly, yes. In reality, those laptops had been making much more use of ReiserFS's best friend. I heard they even planned to run off with him.

Nowhere on earth would anyone read that into the headline. Except you, seemingly.
