Wow, impressive. I have no certifications whatsoever and am employed as Unix systems administrator, have been in this position for 3 and a half years now, did the NOC thing before that, did the SMB (small/medium business) systems integrator/administrator/operator before that, etc.. etc..

Maybe you just aren't looking in the proper places.

I think his point was how QT is much more than just a UI library. It has support for primitive types, it has a socket API, it has low level operating system abstraction. It's basically a portable framework for making rich applications with the least possible amount of platform dependant code. Quite off topic.

No it doesn't. I tried for 5 minutes to have it "cancel" an e-mail I was in the midst of having it write up without using the word cancel. It never understood even the simplest of phrasings I tried, including : "Nevermind", "Don't send this e-mail", "I changed my mind", etc.. etc... Maybe you should own and play with an iPhone 4S before you just repeat whatever you saw in a demo on the Internet.

This is exactly what they said they would do a month ago. They have been quite clear going forward, they would continue work on webOS itself, just not webOS hardware. So I don't see how this is the "end" of webOS at HP, it's the same thing they've been saying for a month now.

I do. We use a couple of their different enterpise packages for performance monitoring, centralized printing, backup and of course, clustering and big-iron Unix to run on Integrity boxes.

Oh, our storage too is based off their XP line-up.

Why is the Samsung Galaxy S II the one breaking sales records then ? It's certainly not cheap, being dubbed a "Superphone" by local carriers around here and being as expensive as an iPhone on contract most everywhere.

Wow, did the summary ever get this wrong. The court said that the Samsung supplied Photo Gallery application infringes on an Apple patent related to a swipe gesture to move from picture to picture that bounces back to the current picture if the swipe is not completed.

The default Android Photo Gallery application does not do this, but Samsung customized the version included on its phones with TouchWiz (hence the Nexus S does not infringe and is not part of the ban or the Tab 10.1 that uses stock Android too) to replicate this functionality of iOS.

Also, the solution is not to provide Android 3.0 for the phones, Samsung will simply remove this extra functionality from the application (either by reverting back to the stock Android application or by simply removing it from their customized app) and provide an update for the affected models, thus negating the ban.

Back in 1992, the Internet was a vast worldwide TCP/IP based network. It still is today. You could install a "browser" and use that piece of software to navigate on web sites, using the HTTP protocol. We still pretty much do that today. Domain names were used so that you didn't have to remember numerical addresses, and were stored and queried using the Domain Name System. Like today.

Need I really go on ? Because you didn't know it, doesn't mean it didn't exist.

That's the sound the point of this story made when it flew past your head. Maybe you missed the part about "diagnosing people with no symptoms".

Anyway, we're all sorry for you and we'll all cry ourselves tonight hugging our loved ones thanks to your heartfelt tale, but it has nothing to do with what is being discussed here. Maybe you should submit this to your doctors : Reading Comprehension fail might be another symptom.

Calculating calorie content takes a few minutes at most, not a half hour. Most of it is already listed on the package for the meat/veggies and the rest easily acquired from a calorie counting scale. If you have time to look at a microwave meal cook to cold for 10 minutes, you have the time to prepare a cook a fresh meal.
