We did some test apps during the alpha/beta testers program and purchased one license for "recreational use". We created some half-production use web server apps with it, but it was mostly used to play with. Nothing with GUI, though, only server stuff.

Now that I come to think of it, there was something funny with the UI code. Did it hardlink in QT? I think it did. Borland (or whatever they were called at the time) coughed up some dough and got a license where they could link in QT libraries in the executables. It was portable, but probably anything but quick.

The IDE used wine, but the apps were native. You could even do server side Apache dynamic libraries for your linux web server. Technically it was a nice effort (even though the wine IDE discouraged three of the seven potential buyers). Commercially it never stood a chance, it lacked a market and it was obvious it could never create one.

Nice language, dude! The credit card companies, at least here, charged a fixed percentage regardless of the sum. That's why you logic is all wrong, the cost for the merchant is the same (relatively) for a 10 cent purchase as it is for a 100€ purchase. On the contrary, handling cash is way more expensive.

I once tried to by a car with plastic, but was refused because the transaction fee would have been enormous.

And no, I'm not a immigrant, and yes, I have loads of sisu.

I never carry any cash on me and even pay 10 [euro] cent (roughly equaling a dime) purchases with plastic. And I'm certainly not the only one amongst my friends. Cash is clumsy, dirty and so last century. That's Finland for you.

World domination? Isn't that what they've been trying for two millennia.

Hilarious! Somebody mod parent up, I'm out of mod points.

Actually since Conan is "between jobs" maybe we could make him King instead?

Exactly what kind of colleagues do you have, with family but no girlfriend or wife? :)

Nitpicking module deactivated.

I know! Me misses it, too!

Fascist! :)

Maybe because large parts of the population of Russia (including the inhabitants of its capital) lives in Europe? Just a hunch, though...
