Well, sign up for a sneakemail address (www.sneakemail.com), and send it from that. Then delete it after replying to SCO's auto email. Or keep it and see what they send you. Either way you're anonymous.
Well buy a licence then. Or port the Unix GPL'd version. Or start from scratch. Or give up on that lame platform and develop for Unix. But stop moaning.
Gnome is rapidly becoming a major clusterfuck these days. Which is a shame, because the only other real option is selling yourself to SCO (aka... Trolltech's owner), and subjecting yourself to the full GPL just to write desktop apps, or paying SCO $3000 for every developer.
Enough with this FUD. SCO own less than 2% of Trolltech. Trolltech put out an extremely high quality GPL'd product, and you complain? Write a better one, fix the problems in Gnome, or shut up.

QT 3.2 Released
·
· Score: 1
No, wrong. Most of the license sales are for internal cross-platform tools. At work we can use all of the GPL'ed libraries in the world so long as the binaries aren't ever released externally. If Qt for Windows was GPL'ed it would be perfectly legal for companies to use GPL'ed Qt for Windows in their in-house applications -- Trolltech's bread and butter.
This is not my understanding of it. I develop in-house Qt apps (win and unix), and hold a dual licence - ie both platforms. I'm pretty sure the Trolls specifically don't allow you to use the GPL version (on unix) to develop in-house apps. Their FAQ says clearly that if you develop in a commercial setting (ie even if it doesn't get externally released) you must hold a commercial licence.
Actually, I'm not sure if there was a Kazaa@fileshare. I didn't look. There probably isn't. I guessed you might have forgotten to include that case in your grep, though.
don't you think the few women who DO use PCs are in the almost-like-a-man range of spatial abilities?
Maybe I've been trolled, but I'll bite anyway. More than 'a few women' use PCs. Every office worker these days has a PC. A large proportion of these office workers are women. Sure, maybe there are less female programmers out there (that's another topic altogether), but not only programmers use PCs, you know.
Are you kidding me? You're saying that people who look at high-level diagrams are performing an engineering practice, whereas those who actually implement are not? That's like saying that the guy who decides where the hood ornament should go on a car is a mechanical engineer, but the guy who designs the braking system is not.
No, it's like saying the guy who designs the braking system is an engineer, but the guy who builds it is not.
You're serious? Emacs does a lot more than text editing, so I'm told. I can't stand it myself (Vim forever!).
gcc is a good C compiler
gcc (the compiler collection not the executable) is also a fortran compiler, a c++ compiler, an objective c compiler...
...But yes, actually I agree with your general point. It's better to do one thing well. It really annoys me, for example when Mozilla mail freezes just because the browser component is cranking away at some dodgy javascript.
I think Nintendo is a good example of where a brand can work for you, too. I know I'll buy the upcoming GC Zelda game, just because I've enjoyed the others, for example. In fact the Miyamoto 'brand' is enough to recommend a game to many.
Stable, and efficient, maybe. But not quite correct
pi.c: In function `main': pi.c:25: warning: comparison between pointer and integer pi.c:27: warning: passing arg 2 of `sscanf' from incompatible pointer type pi.c:38:16: macro "putc" requires 2 arguments, but only 1 given pi.c:40:13: macro "putc" requires 2 arguments, but only 1 given pi.c:38: warning: statement with no effect pi.c:40: warning: statement with no effect pi.c:41: warning: control reaches end of non-void function
And all this in a post speaking of correctness... maybe you're right, and correctness is really a minor issue:-)

Yeah, dotslash is a pretty good site.
I really liked you in 'Kids in the Hall'

BTW, kudos to the Trolls for a great tool!

Sorry
I hope you didn't miss Kazaa@fileshare :)
Are you sure it existed first? Or do you just mean named first?
pruning IP lateral sensors.......done :-)
establishing networking matrix...../
Reticulating splines?
Don't you mean 'Babelfish ist dein Freund.' or 'Babelfish ist Ihr Freund.'?
'Babelfish ist kein Freund.' means the opposite - it's not a friend.
It has a bunch of buttons, but it's got that big red A button smack in the middle.
A nitpick: the A button is green. Isn't Zelda an amazing game, though?
there would be much closer to 30% of a share of virii
You mean 'viruses'. Look here
The Game Cube has sold primarily thanks to 3rd party games, such as Rouge Squadron
Well, that and Mascara Force

Even so, a keyspace of 2,176,782,336 doesn't really thrill me.
Don't you mean 56,800,235,584? I assume it's case sensitive.
funny.. the fowl mouthed, bad attitude manager down the hall ....
baaaaaak, bak bak bak bak. baaaaaaaak, bak bak
For reference, "heed" should be spelt "heid".

Except that it wasn't subtitled Episode IV until 4 years later, when it was reissued in 1981.

You have familiars? What are you, a witch?
What if you need to see where you're going, and your breath stinks?
