About your second question: as far as I know, you can use the LGPL Qt in commercial projects, freely, as long as you don't statically link the libs. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11994053/can-i-use-qt-lg

I think it was 2038... so Solaris won't need a patch :-D

by severino 9y ago
My comment was a joke, obviously. However, it's not that difficult to provide that kind of support and bugfixing. It's not like developing something new.

Solaris support ends in November, 2034. Yeah, 17 years from now. No need to hurry ;-)

Well... it is already.

I know everybody hates Oracle here, but Java 7, 8 and the upcoming 9 releases, all of them under Oracle's control, have had more improvements than Sun did in the years prior to the acquisition. How's that destroying anything?

Mostly Qt, but also JavaFx (formerly Swing) when having to use some popular Java library or existing code.

Because those users count as Windows users, for the market share. That means companies don't bother about Ubuntu. They also won't use the rest of the software Canonical bundles, for browsing the internet, writing documents, etc. I

Yes but, can Canonical make a business out of that? They get no (significant) money either from people using their system in embedded platforms or cloud servers.

by severino 10y ago
Unfortunately, I guess Ubuntu Desktop won't last much, too. Can Canonical make money from that? Nope. They even made their product less appealing when they helped Microsoft run it inside their OS. I always thought Canonical wouldn&#x27

I guess digital signature, mostly. Signing documents without your private key leaving the computer. It's not something you can do easily cross-browser.

Well, actually things like an avr-gcc toolchain, and other open source utilities have existed for a long time, so you can use your operating system of choice for attiny/atmega development, with no need for Atmel Studio.

> Microsoft could've done that too, but instead decided to improve Git, They didn't improve git, they only made this for themselves and for their product users. Git doesn't restrict you to a single operating system.

I'd say Ubuntu or Fedora. I found both to be quite polished so you just need to install your development tools without having to configure anything else.

Well, it was you who said he should pay for Windows if Rails was his sticking point. And I said you don't need to pay for anything if you want to do Rails programming. In fact, here, the "inferior alternative" for this task m

If Rails is his sticking point, then there's no point in paying for something when you can have it for free.

No, currently, it is windows only. Maybe, someday, we can say it's not windows-only anymore. But not today.

I doubt any of those 100.000.000.000 commercial products that need MSSQL would run on Linux either. In fact, even SQL Server Management Studio is a Windows-only application.
