Yup, that's a bit of a solace. But nevertheless, without Nokia putting their shoulders under it, development of Qt as a whole might be impaired somewhat. (Not that it hurts me personally; I still use KDE3 ;-)

Now that Oracle has usurped the Sun patents, Microsoft is keen on getting the Nokia ones. Plus, they can control Qt better, which is used in a few desktop systems that compete with Microsoft's products.

Oracle strikes back with: "You'll see more code coming from Oracle as well now that we are mostly caught up after having parts of the Hudson infrastructure stolen away from us during the Jenkins fork." http://java.net/projects/hudson/li

"Older natural languages have richer lexical structures (such as inflexions for noun number and case) and therefore rely less on word order. For example, in Latin the statements Puer dedit cani escam and Escam dedit puer cani both mean ``T

That's absolutely brillant! Thanks for the link. So funny when the father rips the shirt of his son and discovers his 'I love Java' tattoo ;-)

The weather is not the same as climate. When climate changes (and it has always changed in the past) some places become hotter, others become colder. Some places will get more precipitation, other places will become dryer. The ice core dri

A matrix would be much more usable indeed, but maybe the author thought colors should always be shown in 'color wheels'.

It's their right to cultivate a company culture like that, should they wish so. Apparently a lot of young 'rockstar' programmers are attracted to that, being able to work and hang out with all the cool guys from a Web 3.0 company. Pay is p

My dad has an electric bicycle. Using the pedals as a means of throttle feels very natural (I commute on ordinary bicycle) and surprising, as if you have a strong wind in the back, or like if someone pushes you ;-). The eRockit is uncompa

You could use dbapi's query parametrisation instead of string concatenation, or maybe use sqlalchemy's SQL Expression if you don't want to write SQL. ORMs are not a panacea. Especially when the database schema gets more complicated they req

A program I'd written once got chastised by a young developer: he found it oldfashioned, "not of this time". After some asking about what he meant, I found out his main gripe was that the buttons and title bar didn't look like the 'aero' s

"they took to taking palm prints" Well, you could sand those off, too. And while you're at it: sand your toes. And your heels. Now what would you do when iris scans become a commonplace biometric? Sand off the back of your eyeballs? ;-)

That's how web pages were back in 1991, and how they should look again in the future: just plain raw content and links, no frills and graphic fluff.

"... the use of Advanced "Apple Terminal" in a resume of any format would throw me off." That catched my eye too, along with the 'TextMate' proficiency. If you start putting those things on your resume you might as well also put '90% Keyb

In that case I would make a page-sized BMP and paste that into Word, and send off the DOC.

Yeah, but I found it a bit disappointing that those girls actually don't fly the jetlev. Maybe it requires an enormous amount of muscle power?

Someone of the comments even suggest that these pictures are a hoax, shot in someone's backyard, and from the ground, not in a helicopter. Others say that they could have found the machete and cooking pot in an abandoned camp. Whatever the

'Composable Abstraction' is a pervasive theme in this talk. The presenter suggests that it can apply to general library design equally well as to how it's used in Ring and Compojure.

I think the average user doesn't even know what RAM is. My neighbour, for example, doesn't know the distinction between the space available in RAM and the capacity of his harddisk. Which led to a strange misunderstanding when he told me
