They could have a unified codebase if they shifted to using Qt for everything. It can do GUI, system config, accelerated graphics, joysticks/gamepads, touchscreens, et cetera. If you want to improve compatibility then Qt is the obvious way to go. It also targets smartphones so if you want to make ports for that, it's an option.

Those are old news, friend. https://s.abcnews.com/images/P...

Not if they live in the water. You clearly underestimate what billions of years of evolution can produce.

Why are you commenting on a subject that you admit is none of your business? I suppose it's related to the fact that you didn't understand that you literally just said you ARE NOT OK with the ban, since the government definitely DOES NOT meet the requirements which would make you OK with it (and that goes for the US and your government.)

In secure software distributions like Debian, each package...
* has the contents vetted and tested.
* is signed using a key that is associated with a physically verified person.
* may depends on other packages with the same requirements.

There have been no malicious packages in the Debian software distribution system which means there absolutely is a difference.

Hedge funds do NOTHING to contribute to society in any way, shape, or form. The fact that this parasitic operation is dying is a feel-good story, not an unfortunate tale.

Neither of these systems were designed to be secure software distribution systems, they were designed to be repositories for software development. Idiots decided, "hey, let's also build and distribute software using repositories meant for software development" and it went to shit as they should have expected. It bears repeating, these are not secure software distribution systems. Everyone needs to get a grip and stop pretending that they are and thus stop using them as such.

I'm not about to listen Big Hexagon about evolutionary geometry. Sounds like they already have you on their payroll!

I'm not sure if you understood that I am saying the Matrix is unwatchable or not.

So you don't think the 1st Amendment is important. You are OK with the government having power, but don't believe the people should have power. You have a right to that particular ridiculously ignorant belief. What you don't have is the right to infringe upon others rights. You don't have to like the 1st Amendment, but you do have to abide by it.

I'm well aware. I was writing software before the IBM PC existed, and before the Apple Lisa hit the market. I didn't mention Tron and the Matrix because I thought they were both released at the same time. I can't imagine why you thought that, even if I didn't already know that information, it would in any way be pertinent.

Thanks for explaining the "joke" ... Now I see why it definitely wasn't funny.

I won't figure it out because the premise of Tron is stupid. I'd sooner watch the Matrix all the way through than Tron and I don't have that much lack of taste. I prefer good movies where off the chart level of suspension of disbelief aren't required.

If you are taking about the shitty remake then you are correct. It doesn't matter though, because protocols can't kill. That's not how protocols work.

MCP and TCP/IP are protocols, and Tron and Kill Bill. Protocols don't want to kill movies. Asking if a protocol wants to kill a movie makes zero sense, which was the point of my initial reply to the GP. The second sentence in my reply to you was rhetorical. It is self evident based on the fact that you couldn't follow the logic.
