Yes, QTextEdit handles both HTML and plain text. If you want to export the current text as a full HTML document, you call toHTML(); and if you want plain text you call toPlainText(); Both methods produce a QString that has the text area contents.
Someone has probably already extended QTextEdit to make a drop-in widget that has better syntax highlighting. I know the same thing has been done for spell check.
I actually read the Bible cover to cover twice and I was not impressed. What "good" ethical advice there is in there can likely be found through other sources (Stoic philosophy and tenets of Buddhism) and the rest of it I want nothing to do with.
By useful information, I meant something that would helped helped people living in that era improve their quality of life. For instance, scientific or medical information (cures for common diseases would have been nice) instead of the ritualistic rubbish found in Leviticus. Do you really need some religion to tell you that murdering, rape, stealing, etc. is wrong? IIRC the story of the garden of Eden comes from Mesopotamia and is something the Hebrews picked up during the exile. The Epic of Gilgamesh (which is older than Genesis) contains a remarkably similar flood myth.
Mod parent up. If these fragments were truly the word of god, then surely they would contain useful information that would increase our knowledge of the world/universe and would remain true even today. Instead, we get re-worked fables plagiarized from other sources, tribal customs codified into law, doomsday prophecies, and rants against various enemies (all of which the old testament is full of).
Something that always bothered me was the fact that they put the Emperor's Throne Room on top of a spindly little tower. IIRC that tower room used to be the command center before the emperor showed up! Sure it had a great view and lots of ambiance but such critical facilities should have been far deeper in the structure. If a pilot could hit a small exhaust port, then (if not for the shield) surely one of the Rebel capital ships could destroy that tower and get rid of the emperor AND the command center in one shot.
Their entire line of defense was ONE shield (with no redundancy/backup) controlled from a poorly defended bunker staffed by incompetent soldiers. What could possibly go wrong?
Why even have a central core at all? A distributed power system (hundreds of smaller reactors throughout the structure instead of one big reactor at the core) would completely eliminate that vulnerability and improve power uptime through sheer redundancy. An attacking force would have to destroy the Death Star piece by piece instead of blowing up the main core all at once.
Christians were the ones who burned the Library of Alexandria (and because of them who knows how many ancient documents were lost forever). All religion is backwards and intolerant of other points of view simply because each religion claims to have a monopoly on truth. Therefore, other ideas are "competition" and must be eradicated.
Each religions claims to speak for God but it's always men saying "god doesn't like this" or "god wants you to do that". However, god never actually says or does anything. If god actually exists, then let it appear to everyone and speak for itself. This whole notion of "insulting" islam is actually about punishment for speaking out against the establishment.
I'm typing this on another M (mine was made on 9/25/91). I remember seeing a Model M for sale awhile ago on Ebay that had built-in USB. The last owner replaced the plug and whoever it was did a really good job on it--the plug was a bit longer than most but aside from that it looked like it was originally built that way.
Yes, clearly this has been a Republican plot to divert money to the rich through tax rates. Rising income inequality has had nothing at all to do with the rise of technology and globalization, leading to the commoditization of unskilled labor.
And who was behind the globalization push? It sure as hell wasn't the poor and middle class.
We are so much worse off than 30 years ago, what with our gigantic flat screen TVs, fast computers, fast Internet connections, and smart phones.
And what good are those things if your job barely pays you enough to feed yourself and keep a roof over your head? If you have to work 2+ jobs to survive you don't have much time for TV anyway.
Don't put words in my mouth. Your wedding photographer may not be a failure, but he isn't a Steve Jobs or Bill Gates either. The point I was trying to make is to become super-rich with a new idea you have to have a "perfect storm" of conditions otherwise the likelihood for failure is much greater than the chance of success. How many people tried to create something like Facebook before Zuckerberg did? There were probably some who had a similar idea, but since they failed we have no idea who they are. (had they not failed they would be where Zuckerberg is today and Zuckerberg himself would be working some regular job someplace). A small businessman rising to success in an established field and someone coming up with a first-time-ever killer idea to become the next Bill Gates are two completely different things.
Except those examples of yours had the right ideas, at the right place, at the right time, and had the means to make it a reality. There's a luck factor involved. If they were too early or too late they would have failed and we would have never heard of them.
I know plenty of people who work hard and yet they aren't rich.
Are you one of those people who still believes in trickle-down/supply side economics? The rich LOVE trickle down because they are the only ones who benefit.
The rich will flee the country with as much ill-gotten wealth as they can take with them. They don't care if the USA falls apart because they have stashes in tax shelters around the world so they can just move when things get bad. The rest of us will be stuck in the shithole they created.
Sad but true. The USA has more wealth inequality than it had in the last 75 years (or more) , mostly thanks to the GOP's plan to destroy the middle class these past 30+ years. Social mobility is getting to be impossible and the only way people can go is down. It's really fucking bleak and there's no end in sight.
This sounds like a S.L.A.P.P. suit (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation). Basically, if someone fucks you over and you speak out about it, they sometimes retaliate by suing you. The plaintiff gambles on the likelihood that the victim will just slink away rather than go through an emotionally-damaging (and expensive) legal battle and the bad guy basically wins. These lawsuits are weapons... it's not about justice.
Doesn't mean you have to take the contract as-is (at least that was the case before this fucked-up economy made opportunity harder to find). It's possible to cross out parts that are deal-breakers for you, like non-compete clauses or situations such as this where the employer would claim anything you make whether it's done on your own time or not. If the employer agrees to the changes then you're only bound by the modified contract.
If you're on the clock at work, then yes, it counts as a work/invention for hire. Even if you're salaried and don't really clock in, the invention/project should be 100% yours if it's something you invent/build out of your own house or garage.
Cut corp taxes to almost nothing, and give what's left as incentives to hire US (citizen) workers in the US....and lets see how fast they rush back with jobs here.
Surely you jest. Taxes have been low for 10+ years now. Where are the goddamn jobs?
I hope your post is satire. If not, then fuck you.
You know what's really wrong with this country? It's the people at the top fucking over what's left of the middle class. Money doesn't trickle down, it rises upward if regular people have money to spend. People are working longer, harder, and for less while their jobs are being outsourced and benefits are being slashed. The 1% is making money hand over fist and even though they're richer than they've been in the last 50+ years they still bitch and moan when it comes time to pay their fair share of taxes. If they don't like Clinton rates then we could always go back to Eisenhower rates.
Awhile ago I remember hearing that you could download a clean iso of Windows x directly from Microsoft if you have a valid serial number for whatever version x is. IIRC it was supposed to be an alternative to those shitty reimage discs that OEMS used to give you (or force you to burn at your own cost) but better because they were crapware-free. Can you still do that? (I haven't bought a PC in ages and I'm still using Windows 7 so I'm not sure) The best course of action would be to reload a clean crapware-free version of Windows as soon as you get the iso burned to disc.

What's wrong with QSqlDatabase? It's always done what I've needed it to do.

The galactic senate didn't stop Palpatine from taking over. In fact, they cheered him on.

Nope, this one wasn't a Unicomp. It was an original IBM but it had a plug just like the ones on that site.

IANAL either, but it is my understanding that libel must be proven. Something is not libel or slander if it's true.

Sadly, that was the only decent episode in the entire season.

People have a life outside of work, after all.
