So why aren't you doing that?

How about *you* get on a bicycle and cycle around in your spare time.

Oh, because it's not that much fun to do it all the time? Double standards?

Qt lets you do stuff like take a button, style is with CSS to make it look how you want, then put it in an opengl scene. The result is a button that that looks however you want in opengl, but has all the behaviour of a button.

You can CSS-style all the widgets in Qt.

Qt has its own thing like WPF, called QML.

And automatic javascript support. And safe casting on systems without rtti support.

Does .net let you modify the libraries and then redistribute the binaries without making the changes public? Is that something you need?

I don't follow why this is a must-have feature for you.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but it is for me.

This is true even for the game Go, where it's dominated up to 1st Dan by memorising as many opening and counters as possible.

And GCC.

GCC version 3 was stable and conservative. A group of developers forked it and created egcc - experimental gcc. This turned out to be popular and was merged back in and became gcc 4.

Hmm, google wave perhaps?

Did the researchers avoid making the mistake of the "chopstick gene"?

There's a gene that determines how good you are with chopsticks. It's otherwise known as the blue-eye gene...

It seems plausible that there is a slight advantage to having blue eyes, if only for sexual selection.

If you call Microsoft fanboys, then sure. Microsoft did a huge ad campaign about how the LSE switched from Linux to Windows, proving that Microsoft was ready for the big time.

Poor me! I added ionice integration into KDE since pretty much the dawn of time.

In KDE, just press ctrl+esc to bring up my System Activity, right click on a process, then chose renice. You get a really pretty (imho heh) dialog letting you change the CPU or hard disk priority, scheduler, and so on.

9/11!

Yes, clearly the solution is to put your finger in your ears then.
