OK, I will ask this of everyone familiar with the KDE project:
We know that one connection between Trolltech and the KDE project is that
KDE uses Qt.
We now also know that Matthias is both the founder of the KDE project and an
employee of Trolltech.
In addition to that are there or have there been any other connections or
relationships between the KDE project and Trolltech, either directly or
indirectly? If so, what are they?

"can" live to see long healthy lives, but depending on the chances that
this will happen it's not clear to me that it's really unethical. My
understanding was that for most of these children the likelihood of a
normal life is not very good.
(Note, I don't like PBAs, but I would defend their use to protect the
life of the mother, and I support bans with such exceptions.)

No, I didn't. I'm not sure whether you're really this dumb, or whether
you are using a cheap diversionary tactic to get away from the main

the main point being that ignorance is not a defence against libel.
Instead of debating this issue, you are pursuing an irrelevant line of

I've considered. Then I've looked at the numbers.
Take ALL CO2-producing human activity on the face of the planet, and
it amounts to a mere fraction OF JUST THE TERMITES (1/20th, to be
exact).
Outside of re-routing a river, or other activity which re-routes
water and/or latent heat, the activity of mankind is INSIGNIFICANT
compared to the rest of nature.
And the ONLY reason why re-routing a river is significant is because
it is a permanent change to....a natural process (the flow of the
river).

Interesting comment. I'm inclined to agree, the kits are close enough
in design that a wrapper would be possible. I'm not sure how easy it
would be though, since Qt's signal/slot implementation is somewhat
artificial ( it uses macros )

If your purpose in upgrading is stability, definately you need to
avoid closed hardware. This isn't too hard to do, as more and more
hardware manufacturers are realising that they gain nothing and lose
some sales by refusing to open the specs for their hardware. ATI has
been very good at this quite some time, and their hardware is quite
capable. Other manufacturers have been coming around.
It's not much different from anything other OS - if you want to
install Windows2000 for instance you are well advised to check the
hardware compatibility list for that before installing (or purchasing
a hardware upgrade) as well.
Some manufacturers have been providing binary-only drivers for Linux
(Nvidia comes to mind) and they do work - if windows is stable enough
for you they may be fine for you, but personally I would avoid them.
Binary only drivers are not open to peer review, and cannot be
recompiled if a software upgrade breaks something they depend on. A
Free driver can be reviewed, cleaned up, recompiled, and modified
whenever necessary, so they are much more stable and useful.

Actually, NUMEROUS obstetricians testified before congress that they
do not know of a single case where a partial-birth abortion could
be defended on medical grounds.
Not a single one.
In other words...EVERY SINGLE partial-birth abortion was actually
neo-natal murder.

Can you name ONE CASE wear this procedure of inter-vaginal murder

Hint fucking hint: It's a RED-HERRING that was thrown out to by

I always find it amusing that windows advocates deride linux as hard
to use, but turn a blind eye to the registry. If you expect someone
that has trouble learning linux to edit their own registry effectively
I think you are living in a dreamworld.

Anyone that says 2 days is either indulging in hyperbole, or has had
experience with some very unstable systems. I HAVE had to work with NT
boxes that couldn't stay up two days by the way, and you can't blame
em on me, because I didn't set them up. Team from MS did. *chuckles*
but that was a few years ago, it's gotten better. If it's well
maintained 2 weeks should be safe. That's still considered very poor
by Unix standards, though.

BeOS is just another closed source operating system. It will never carve
out a critical mass of users. This is because there is a closed source
OS, named Windows, already. BeOS may have some neat features, but I see
no compelling reason to use it.
Linux on the other hand is free and open source. This is a very
compelling situation.

"just" a free unix. That's funny on so many levels, it is difficult to
begin to explain why. Then again, if you don't already know, the
explanation won't help you.

No why on earth would you say something like that? Linux (and UNIX) is
still amazingly innovative when compared to Windows, Macintosh, or BeOS.
One might argue that the "state of the art" in computers is far ahead of
where Windows and W2k seem to be.
Symbolic links is a cool example. Windows 2000 has them now, wow! that
was innovation, how long has UNIX had them? for years.
NT Terminal Server, what! The ability to run GUI programs remotely? Wow,
that MS, they sure know how to make software. NOT. X has been doing that
for years as well. (An with a lot fewer computing resources)
UNIX almost by definition is innovative.

Again, why would you say that?
Granted, Linux does not have the marketware companies writing cute
little paper clipped apps with fuzzy little creatures pointing idiots to
the right menu items, but we do have some hot damn databases, scientific
tools, and whatever else you need. And yes, there is competition in
office programs. (Unlike that other environment)

This is an outright lie.
It might be true that you, by way of poor reading comprehension or willful
ignorance, inferred from post that I considered you to be the above, but
that is not the case.
Before this thread descends into irrelevance, let me point out that
your angry rant is inconsistent with your belief that ignorance is
a valid defense against charges of libel.

Creating a hypothetical scenario in which you perform a certain action

The context of the post makes it clear that I was not accusing you -- I
conclude that making such an accusation would be morally indefensible.
When I proposed a scenario under which I make an assertion, and then
proceeded to explain why I think it would be wrong to make the said
assertion, the context made it perfectly clear that I was not making
the assertion through a back door.

No, I didn't. As usual, you are making false claims from a position of
ignorance.
I guess it boils down to my word against your baseless assumptions.
I wonder which of the above those reading the thread hold in higher
regard ?
