I never said otherwise.
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/manifesto.htmlRMS never claimed one should contribute to "make the world better"
License has no attachment to money. RMS never claimed one should contribute to "make the world better" (!)
Contribution always is connected to development costs.
If the developer is interested in result, the price is his skill and time.
If the developer is not interested in result, he should charge money.
Please show me even one consumer who will resist to pay for opensource contribution?
The difference is that opensource solution will profit from cross development, reducing amount of "bicycle inventions", patent suits and wars, increase security by more pass-thru's --- pretty much all advantages of opensource model.
But the scheme to mis-use (expoit) developer time was never part of RMS idea.
If one is to make money off the development time of others, he should be legally obligated to compensate it to them.
I never thought KDE and Qt are this stupid....
Maybe its a very good idea to start a toolkit similar to Qt from scratch.
Maybe RMS releases GPLv5 where he addresses this case.
I never said otherwise.
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/manifesto.htmlRMS never claimed one should contribute to "make the world better"
Stupid in what way? Because they use practical licences that actually work? I'm pretty sure that most developers actually like their code being used. If you start a licence that has absolutely ridiculous requirements then no one is going to use that software. It already hurts GPLv3 and your hypothetical GPLv5 would be used by absoltely no one.
Please explain. How is it "exploitation" if people willingly agree to it? People choose to licence their projects under BSD because they like its terms and if they didn't they would use something else. It's similar situation when one contributes to project that is under CLA. If they don't like it they can maintain their own CLA-free fork and push their patches only there.
In a broader meaning as in your original post "make world better" (by programming for free).
GPL makes world better by removing restrictions = restricting restrictions.
No one should make world better by denying income for the work. This is sure way to die, which means less software, which in turn means worse world.
Originally Posted by gnu.org/gnu/manifesto.html
No, what I meant is make the world better by making software free. The RMS POV here is that you should also ensure that the software *stays* free. With Qt's CLA, this isn't guaranteed. Your code can become non-free. And this can make you look like cheap labor, because what you're trying to do is create free software, but what you end up with is non-free software where you're not getting paid for your work.
Yeah. It was the same way in nazi-german labor camps.With Qt's CLA, this isn't guaranteed. Your code can become non-free. And this can make you look like cheap labor, because what you're trying to do is create free software, but what you end up with is non-free software where you're not getting paid for your work.
Arbeit macht frei*
*Disclaimer: Freedom NOT guaranteed.
Nobody shouls sign the Digias Arbeit macht frei licens clause. And it is just rude to se people suggest it is not forced upon any devs. If you dont sign you are excluded for particioating and contributing. Yeah thats rigt open sourcers are told they can take their hippie GPL pipe dream somewhere else. Nice on Digia. But who cares about Digias Anti-freedom spree anyway? It is not like they treat linux desktop as its primary goal anyway. They are "diversifing" to other platforms and segments where linux hippies are not an issue. Of course we will never lose the Qt-crowd, they will hang around and keep telling people to trust in who ever owns Qt. I would rather buy a lottery ticket.
Really guys, such stupid comments on such a great product.
This new Qt version is truly a awesome piece of technology!
Also, Nokia had mobile as it's main focus, Digia certainly hasn't! They are just broad focused and right now mainly in getting it into shape for Android, iOS and Windows Phone. Remember, the goal of Qt is use the same application with the same code on as much platforms as possible. Mac, Linux and Windows are very well supported so they simply expand to those other ones. And don't forget, BB10 is full Qt!
Qt 5.1 (or 5.2) is going to feature a full set of QML components specifically aimed at desktop usage, something that would be very welcome! Then full application development in QML for the desktop still has a lot of issues, but people are working in that area as well (like application wide shortcut support in QML which is currently not in Qt, but can be used with QtWidgets)
So please, stop your idiotic comments and just be on the subject: Qt 5.

Woolf Farming and Processing
David E. Bell; Laura Winig; Mary Shelman
Woolf Farming Company, a privately owned family farming business in California's Central Valley, found its business threatened by a lack of water, brought on by a combination of drought, poor quality well water and unavailability of surface water due to federally imposed pumping restrictions. Woolf had been farming crops for more than 30 years, but this was the first time they suffered a water shortage so severe that crops had to be abandoned in the field. Even if there was short-term relief in the form of an increased allocation of water from the government, Woolf was concerned about water reliability and the need for additional infrastructure to provide long term water security to the region. If convinced that the water problem would be resolved, then Woolf should move quickly to purchase more land which was currently available at distressed prices. Yet some board members questioned the logic of additional investment in the region whose resources were so uncertain and wondered whether it was more prudent to pursue growth elsewhere. At the same time, some of Woolf's owners began to believe that more of the company's resources should be prioritized for dividends and other distributions as opposed to purely growth. What, if anything, could Woolf and other farmers do to influence the outcome?

IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1800UTC chart on 25 April 2015 Issued at 6:10 am EST Sunday on 26 April 2015 A low pressure system is centred just off the central New South Wales coast with associated active band of cloud with embedded thunderstorms. To the west of this system areas of low cloud can be seen about the south coast of South Australia and Victoria within a moist southerly onshore flow. An area of isolated thunderstorms just off the Kimberley coast is associated with a weak slow moving low pressure system. A broad area of low pressure over the Tasman Sea is producing an area of mainly middle level cloud and thunderstorms. The southwestern, central and northeastern parts of the country are mainly cloud free under the influence of a strong ridge of high pressure.

I'm not a very active snow sports person, so when my company went on a ski excursion this winter I didn't really want to shell out hundreds of bucks for a pair of pants I'd only wear for a few days a year. They aren't especially chique, but they are functional and warm. Not awkward to put on or move in. Enough room to layer beneath. Zipping pockets to make sure your wallet doesn't fall out when you're out being active. Comfy enough to lounge in if you're in a chilly apartment too. Definitely recommended! Thanks Overstock!
These snow pants are perfect fit and so warm. I am 5'6" and weight 133. I usually wear a size 6 but ordered an 8 so I would have room to wear sweat pant under for long winter walks. Love them...so warm...don't need the sweat pants under.
Unfortunately the only chance I've gotten to wear these so far is just to try them on. Who would've thought that Chicago would have no snow in January? I love the overall slimmer fit and the adjustable waist band. I'm 5'9" with a 34" inseam and the length was perfect. I also like the vents so I won't get overheated (if I ever get a chance to wear them outdoors)
Purchased these for our Spring Break ski trip. They were comfortable and fit nicely. Our weather was warm so I can not speak to how they keep you warm in cold weather. The adjustable waist is my favorite feature. I realized after the fact that they have zipper vents on the legs for warm days. I am happy with my purchase.

Ask not for whom MOTUC is made, it's made for thee.
If you have to disclaimer your like, then you don't really like it.
Its an odd choice but I will have her with the cape on so outta sight outta mind for me, I think she looks bad without the cape on so I won't miss it much.

I'm going to guess that TG will come back and say it was intentional, but I hope not and it's just a production error on a handful of them. I had planned on displaying it as her weapon since is was so expensive to make that it prevented her from coming with anything but that and a shield.
I'm not even slightly bothered by this...
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
It's stupid, considering a lot of Netossa fans were clamoring for some sort of silver highlight element on her cape and outfit, that they would do something like this- which just looks stupid. Sure, they are capable of adding paint highlights- as evidenced by this black blotch on her weapon (remember, her cape is meant to be a weapon... it's why she didn't get anything else other than a shield!). "It was a design choice by Ruben..." I can hear it already. Why do they let them make these kinds of dumb choices?!
Just looks like an odd attempt at shading to me. Doesn't bother me, I planned on displaying her with her cape on anyway.
200X fan? Classic fan? What does that mean? I'm a MotU fan!!!
The "black spot" is annoying for anyone who wanted to pose Netossa using her "weapon" since her cape is her weapon according to Mattel.
I'll be displaying Netossa wearing her cape, but it does limit posing possibilities since the "black spot" is unsightly when you remove the cape to pose the figure holding it as a throwing net.
And I don't think the "black spot" even makes sense when the cape is used as a cape. There is no need for a "painted" shadow for Netossa's hair. I guess it's just another odd "design" choice by Mattel like Stinkor's reversed forearms, Frosta's "mid grey" instead of "bright white" paint, Frosta's translucent hair instead of translucent cape, etc.
I'm so glad they went with the black stain variation. I was on was on the fence about getting her, but now I can't wait!!!

Please visit my store for custom MOTUC accessories and services.
From the pictures, it looks like somebody used the cape to put out a cigarette. Either that, or that's what's left of the fly after they used the cape as a fly-swatter.
It's not really a big deal, but I'd really like to have a lot more figures without any flaws.

Is that an opening for Spy-Fly???!!!
Oh you!
Your support means more research for the Myostatin-challenged.
I believe the black stain is a nod to her 200x design, or at least what she would have looked like had the show continued. It's also in the Power and Honor book, page 534. Mark Taylor put the black stain as a joke to see if Roger Sweet would say anything. Sweet saw the prank coming a mile away and didn't take the bait.
Come on.
This was not INTENTIONAL.
The figure shown at NYCC didn't have this.
The dark spot, and the strange change in the shape of the spot are clearly a reaction either between the paint on the hair and the cape paint and plastic, or the gel used to release the pieces from the mold.
You all realize that by suggesting that this was intentional, you're giving Mattel permission to suggest that it was.
It's a mistake. It's really really unfortunate, but let's not be blind here lol

I have seen two different kinds of Plastic "Melt" when the touch for a period of time. It has happen to some of my figures that were put away for storage. It is usually the more rubbery stuff touching a harder plastic which is what is going on here. Some one should try scratching the black spot and see if any black paint comes off. I fear there is some kind of reaction going on here.

Paining softer plastics isn't all that hard, but you can only use Acrylics....I've done it many times very easily.
It's not overly bad, but it's something that you have to scratch you head and be like....why in the **** did they do that stupid ****?
Maybe it's a stain from someone she previously had in her net that crapped their pants when she caught them....I don't know....some things don't come out in the wash....

One of the Yes Network's most aired shows are their Yankee Classics. Generally, during the regular season on off days and mornings before a game when there was none the day before, you can catch the Yankees Classics. Then they fill up a lot of the schedule with them during the off-season. As a Yankee fan, I think it's a great idea, although the ranking of some games as "Classics" can sometimes be questions.
Well, this is an attempt to log as many of the Yankee Classics that have been shown including some commentary and rankings on whether they really are classics or...not so much.

Lost at sea for 15 weeks before rescued - by a shark By Sail-World Cruising Round-up, 2:40 PM Sat 22 Sep 2012 One of a sailor's worst nightmares is losing the boat, taking to the liferaft only to drift and drift and drift. A man from Kiribati in the Pacific Ocean has lived that nightmare and survived. He was at sea for fifteen weeks before, he claims, a shark led him to rescue and safety. ...[more] How far from shore to be safe? An incident tells By Des Ryan, 5:42 PM Wed 12 Sep 2012 How far do you keep from the shore while sailing? The best test, according to old salts, is to continue to ask, 'What would happen NOW if my engine/rudder failed?' You need to calculate just how long it would take you to reorganise a method of propulsion. On the basis that the best kind of experience to learn from is 'other people's', a recent incident is a case in point: ...[more] Solo Atlantic crossing boat meets its ejected owners again By Des Ryan, 10:30 PM Wed 29 Aug 2012 In January this year, we published a quirky story about a boat that, having ejected her crew, sailed across the Atlantic from the USA to Spain. Now, the two men who were ejected, have finally caught up with their boat, the Queen Bee. ...[more] Farrallones Report on sailing deaths: They cut it too fine. By Sail-World Cruising, 5:29 PM Fri 10 Aug 2012 Part of the point of an investigation into any sailing tragedy is, of course, instructional. Knowing what could have been done differently is a timely lesson to all sailors for the future, racing or cruising. It is particularly applicable to the findings after the sailing accident that occurred in April during the Full Crew Farallones Race out of San Francisco, California - they cut it too fine ...[more] Brazilian yacht stuck in ice sheet in Antarctica By Merco Press/Sail-World Cruising, , 4:38 PM Wed 8 Aug 2012 Tragic but what an amazing photo. The four Brazilian crew members were taken off this yacht successfully when it sank in the Antarctic in April, likely due to ice compression and strong winds. ...[more] Mystery deepens over missing sailor By Sail-World Cruising round-up, 7:59 AM Tue 31 Jul 2012 More information has come to light about the disappearance of long range cruising sailor Sean Terry, but the mystery as to what could have happened to him merely deepens. Meanwhile, Austrian scuba diving instructor Stefan Pokorny is being held by Seychelles police, who have so far not charged him with any crime. ...[more] Runaway sailing boat caught by the Gafirs By Sail-World Cruising, , 1:40 PM Sat 28 Jul 2012 A runaway yacht with its autopilot set led rescuers a merry chase in the Solent this week. The lone sailor on the yacht, who was not tethered, was thrown overboard by the wash from a passing vessel, leaving his yacht still sailing. ...[more] Austrian sailor held over missing South African yachtsman By Sail-World Cruising round-up, 9:08 AM Tue 24 Jul 2012 An Austrian sailor, Stefan Pokorny - earlier incorrectly reported as an Australian - is being held for questioning in the Seychelles over the disappearance of his skipper on a voyage from Sri Lanka to Madagascar. The skipper's South African family has flown to the Seychelles in a desperate bid for news on the missing yachtsman, Sean Terry, 48, formerly of Cape Town. ...[more] Mystery over missing South African yachtsman By Sail-World Cruising round-up, 7:19 AM Tue 24 Jul 2012 A South African family has flown to the Seychelles in a desperate bid for news on missing yachtsman Sean Terry, formerly of Cape Town, who disappeared in mysterious circumstances while completing what was to be the final leg of his circumnavigation of the globe on his yacht Finnegan. ...[more] Whoops! Rescue boats high and dry By Des Ryan, 7:06 AM Sun 22 Jul 2012 As if one rescue boat, meant to be coming to the aid of other vessels, running aground and calling for rescue wasn't embarrassing enough, the crew sent to its aid in another fast rescue boat ended up on the rocks too. The incident happened in Aberdeen Bay, on the coast of Scotland this week. ...[more] 4.a.m. and who's on watch? By Lee Mylchreest, 4:29 PM Mon 16 Jul 2012 It CAN happen to you. It was four a.m., perhaps the sleepiest hour of the night, and the two crew and their Siamese cat were enjoying a night sail on their yacht Obsession - but somebody wasn't doing something right because suddenly they were dismasted by a sports fishing boat with six people on board. ...[more] Classic Luftwaffe yacht in embarrassing grounding By Sail-World Cruising, , 10:00 AM Tue 10 Jul 2012 Oops! A 41ft classic yacht being sailed by a non-profit British club as a sail training vessel had some embarrassing moments this week when she went aground, firmly, on the Isle of Wight. The 1936 Bermudan-rigged Sea Scamp was circumnavigating the Isle when she hit Quarry Ledge, just east of Thorness Bay. ...[more] Coast Guard slams unprepared sailors By Fred Caygill, MCA/Sail-World Cruising, 11:39 AM Fri 29 Jun 2012 They are finally talking about it openly. In the UK, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and no doubt other sailing countries, rescuers for years have lamented privately that they are often asked to rescue sailors who are either ignorant, over-confident or unprepared. This report, just in, is undeniably a change of pace. ...[more] Cruising sailor in whale collision tells his story By Sail-World Cruising round-up, 10:30 AM Tue 26 Jun 2012 A long range cruising sailor on a 50ft Perry Cutter had to be rescued after being hit by a breaching whale off the coast of Mexico, on the final leg of his journey round the world. The collision damaged his steering and caused the boat to start sinking. Now he is home in Sacramento, California, ready to tell his amazing story of the freak incident and his survival ...[more] Whale collision sinks boat on final leg of around-world voyage By Nancy Knudsen, 11:11 AM Fri 15 Jun 2012 A long range cruising sailor on a 50ft Perry Cutter has been rescued after being hit by a breaching whale off the coast of Mexico, on the final leg of his journey round the world. The collision damaged his steering and caused the boat to start sinking. ...[more] San Blas, sailing paradise, but are there sharks and crocodiles? By Christopher Lozinski, Cruisers Network Online, 1:53 PM Mon 28 May 2012 The San Blas archipelago is a cruising sailor's Paradise, comprising 400 islands spread along the Caribbean coastline of Panama. The vast majority are covered with coconut trees and surrounded by white sand beaches, but only 49 are inhabited. Like many remote places, sometimes information is hard to find, particularly if you are talking about sharks and crocodiles, as Christopher Lozinski tells. ...[more] Against the odds: Chichocki completes circumnavigation By Sail-World Cruising, , 5:02 PM Fri 25 May 2012 On the 30th June 2011, 56-year-old Polish sailor Tomasz Chichocki departed on a solo sail around the world on his Delphia 40.3 yacht Polish Copper (Polska Miedz). It had taken eight years preparation, the journey took nearly a year, he was reported missing during his voyage up the South American coastline after rounding Cape Horn, but now he is back, triumphant. ...[more] Atlantic Rally yacht hits whale, sinks By World Cruising Club/Sail-World, , 6:53 AM Sun 20 May 2012 The value of undertaking long passages with a rally was shown again this week when a yacht in World Cruising Club's ARC Europe Rally hit a whale and started sinking during an Atlantic Ocean crossing. ...[more] 'Eyesore' sailing ketch to be moved to the BACK yard By Lee Mylchreest, , 4:22 PM Fri 4 May 2012 Restoring a classic boat is something many a yacht lover aspires to, and it's often done at home. But the City of Newport Beach California claimed that one man's half-restored 1916 ketch was an eyesore, was 'destroying the residential character' of the neighbourhood, and demanded he remove it. ...[more] Missing yacht Polska Miedz - call for help to cruising sailors By Sail-World Cruising, , 11:29 AM Wed 25 Apr 2012 On the 30th June 2011, Polish sailor Tomasz Chichocki departed on a solo sail around the world on his Delphia 40.3 yacht Polish Copper (Polska Miedz).

Samardzija, Detwiler tired of being one-win wonders
Cubs ace, Nationals southpaw hope one of them can pick up a victory
Neither Cubs ace Jeff Samardzija nor Nationals starter Ross Detwiler has pitched much like a one-win pitcher to this point in the season.
Yet that's exactly where each hurler stands, record-wise, as the two prepare to square off on Friday in the opener of a three-game set at Nationals Park.
For Samardzija, who enters with a 1-4 record despite having a respectable 3.09 ERA, much of the problem has stemmed from Chicago's shaky bullpen. The right-hander's lone win came in a dominant Opening Day performance in which he tossed eight shutout innings.
A second victory has eluded Samardzija since, despite limiting the opposition to two earned runs or fewer on three separate occasions. The most recent occurrence came Saturday, when he conceded just one earned run over six innings of work against the Reds and departed with a 4-2 lead.
Though the bullpen was tagged for four runs in the eventual 6-4 loss, Samardzija doesn't blame the Cubs' shaky relief corps for his disappointing record.
"It's out of your hands at that point," Samardzija said. "If you don't want that to happen, pitch deeper in a game."
Wins have also been hard to come by for Detwiler, albeit for a very different reason. The Nationals southpaw hasn't received much run support this season, especially over his past three outings.
Detwiler started the season on a tear, conceding just two earned runs over 20 innings for a 0.90 ERA through his first three starts -- but earned just one win in the process.
Detwiler has collected three consecutive losses despite not allowing more than three runs in any one start. Offensively, Washington has tallied just three combined runs in those three contests.
Though the lack of run support certainly hasn't helped Detwiler's cause, Washington manager Davey Johnson would still like to see the lefty return to his early-season form when he takes on the Cubs. After allowing just one home run in his first five outings, Detwiler allowed a pair of long balls last Friday against the Pirates.
"I've seen him sharper," Johnson said after Detwiler allowed three runs over five innings in the 3-1 loss to Pittsburgh. "He had trouble getting the ball down. The balls he got hurt on were fastballs up, and he hasn't been doing that all year. To me, he had a little command problem. He threw a lot of pitches in a short time. He kept the ball up."
The Nationals are coming off a two-game sweep against the American League Central-leading Tigers, while the Cubs split a pair at Wrigley Field against the Cardinals.
Nationals: LaRoche emerging from slump
It took more than a month, but Nationals first baseman Adam LaRoche feels as if he is finally starting to find his swing at the plate.
LaRoche is carrying a season-high six-game hitting streak. After going 2-for-4 with an RBI against the Tigers on Thursday, LaRoche has raised his average from .129 to .196.
LaRoche credited his reemergence at the plate to a one-hour conversation he had last week with former Braves teammate Chipper Jones and Nats hitting coach Rick Eckstein.
"Personally, I've come a long way from a week ago. We are on the right track, so we are getting closer," LaRoche said. "Between Chip and Eck and the three of us sitting down, we dissected the swing and they made some great points. We were trying to compare notes."
Cubs: Gregg officially tabbed as closer
Manager Dale Sveum officially tabbed right-hander Kevin Gregg as the club's closer on Wednesday, ending Chicago's closer-by-committee approach over the past month.
Gregg, signed by the Cubs on April 14, has converted all five of his save opportunities since joining the team.
"The problems we had, it was a great, great pickup, and he's ran with it and done a heck of a job," Sveum said. "[Gregg] is a veteran guy who doesn't panic. He's been in those situations before. Those last three outs aren't made for everybody. He throws strikes and has some life on his fastball. He can work both sides of the plate, that's the good thing about it."
Gregg takes over the role initially held by Carlos Marmol, who was replaced by Kyuji Fujikawa after struggling in the season's opening week. Fujikawa then landed on the disabled list on April 13 with a strained right forearm, but he hopes to rejoin Chicago for the weekend series in Washington.
"Gregg's our closer," Sveum said. "That's pretty much the way it is right now. He's obviously earned it, and there's a bigger sample out there now to know that."
Worth noting
• Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman is hitless in 11 career at-bats against Samardzija. Zimmerman has not faced any other pitcher that many times without notching at least one career hit.
• Jayson Werth is likely to be out of the lineup on Friday after dealing with both a tight right hamstring and a stomach ailment that has left him dehydrated. He's been taking antibiotics and had an MRI on the hamstring Thursday.

The essay, Twain notes, was "offered for the thirty-dollar prize," but it "did not take the prize."
In Modern Manners, cultural guru P. J. O'Rourke provides the essential accessory for the truly contemporary man or woman - a rulebook for living in a world without rules.

They love nothing better than sipping free-trade gourmet coffee, leafing through the Sunday New York Times, and listening to David Sedaris on NPR (ideally all at the same time). Apple products, indie music, food co-ops, and vintage T-shirts make them weak in the knees. They believe they're unique, yet somehow they're all exactly the same.
