Yes, I did notice. That's where I looked first. Unfortunately, those of us who use Debian Stable have no other option than to build from source, at least for the moment.

I don't blame you. E17 looks promising but building it has been a real pain in the ass so far. First, I neeeded to d/l, build, and install the dependencies/core libraries (and their dependencies). Even when that part was done and I got through a successful ./configure for the main E17, I still ran into errors during the build (most recently, "No rule to make target `illume-keyboard/e-module-illume-keyboard.edj").

*sigh*

"Big Iron" and "Heartache by the Numbers" were pretty good too. However, that "Lets Ride into the Sunset Together " song was damn depressing when you're walking around in a hopeless post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Not exactly--organized religion tells you that you have a problem and then offers the "solution" to it.

As long as I get to be Overseer (assuming it's not in Vault 11).

I'm still using 4.7.4 and I intend to do so for a long time. My main reason is to keep pace with the Debian repositories (4.7 support was recently added to testing, stable still has 4.6). For the past year I've been working on an app that won't build on 4.6 b/c of new features added to 4.7, meaning support in Debian Stable was out unless you roll your own Qt. Anything I write for Qt 4.7 will probably compile fine with Qt5 (if necessary) or run under Qt5 libs so I see no reason to upgrade.

Yes, QTextEdit handles both HTML and plain text. If you want to export the current text as a full HTML document, you call toHTML(); and if you want plain text you call toPlainText(); Both methods produce a QString that has the text area contents.

Someone has probably already extended QTextEdit to make a drop-in widget that has better syntax highlighting. I know the same thing has been done for spell check.

I actually read the Bible cover to cover twice and I was not impressed. What "good" ethical advice there is in there can likely be found through other sources (Stoic philosophy and tenets of Buddhism) and the rest of it I want nothing to do with.

By useful information, I meant something that would helped helped people living in that era improve their quality of life. For instance, scientific or medical information (cures for common diseases would have been nice) instead of the ritualistic rubbish found in Leviticus. Do you really need some religion to tell you that murdering, rape, stealing, etc. is wrong? IIRC the story of the garden of Eden comes from Mesopotamia and is something the Hebrews picked up during the exile. The Epic of Gilgamesh (which is older than Genesis) contains a remarkably similar flood myth.

Mod parent up. If these fragments were truly the word of god, then surely they would contain useful information that would increase our knowledge of the world/universe and would remain true even today. Instead, we get re-worked fables plagiarized from other sources, tribal customs codified into law, doomsday prophecies, and rants against various enemies (all of which the old testament is full of).

What's wrong with QSqlDatabase? It's always done what I've needed it to do.

Something that always bothered me was the fact that they put the Emperor's Throne Room on top of a spindly little tower. IIRC that tower room used to be the command center before the emperor showed up! Sure it had a great view and lots of ambiance but such critical facilities should have been far deeper in the structure. If a pilot could hit a small exhaust port, then (if not for the shield) surely one of the Rebel capital ships could destroy that tower and get rid of the emperor AND the command center in one shot.

Their entire line of defense was ONE shield (with no redundancy/backup) controlled from a poorly defended bunker staffed by incompetent soldiers. What could possibly go wrong?

The galactic senate didn't stop Palpatine from taking over. In fact, they cheered him on.

Why even have a central core at all? A distributed power system (hundreds of smaller reactors throughout the structure instead of one big reactor at the core) would completely eliminate that vulnerability and improve power uptime through sheer redundancy. An attacking force would have to destroy the Death Star piece by piece instead of blowing up the main core all at once.

Christians were the ones who burned the Library of Alexandria (and because of them who knows how many ancient documents were lost forever). All religion is backwards and intolerant of other points of view simply because each religion claims to have a monopoly on truth. Therefore, other ideas are "competition" and must be eradicated.

Each religions claims to speak for God but it's always men saying "god doesn't like this" or "god wants you to do that". However, god never actually says or does anything. If god actually exists, then let it appear to everyone and speak for itself. This whole notion of "insulting" islam is actually about punishment for speaking out against the establishment.
