He was elected initially as a republican and was a republican for much longer than he was in the "National Union Party" - I think the result from google is clearly deceptive.

Ekranoplan ... wonder-weapon ... ehhh ... I mean the thing technically worked but I would not quite call it a wonder weapon. It may look quite outlandish but if it was such a great idea we would see more of them.

I was trying to figure out how to do MOC from gnu make when I came across this, the only other option I saw was to run qmake and then run that generated makefile from my makefile. Of those two options verdigris seemed to be the better choic

by ailideex 7y ago
My biggest gripe with MOC is that it makes it no longer C++ and if I just want to quickly throw together some sample code and build it with a makefile I can't. This still requires the use of a separate header file with is annoying but
