    Is Optical Media dead?

    So you have nothing other than silly strawmen to knock down to support your assertion. That's what I thought. Moving on...

    Knocking down that strawman is the best argument you can come up with?

    Google must change search business practices

    No, it's clearly your failing to bother to learn the facts of the case against Microsoft. Microsoft was leveraging its desktop monopoly to force OEMs not to bundle Netscape. Apple is doing no such thing. Google is doing no such thing.

    Google must change search business practices

    The FTC is giving up and throwing in the towel on the case. Effectively a complete victory for Google.

    What got you into UNIX/Linux/BSD?

    Awesome stories. My dream programming environment has always been unix systems. However as to why BSD I would say the major reason I made the leap to FreeBSD was Slashdot. Years of reading that site has shown me what a nauseating ideology GNU was and what a bunch of monumental douchebags...

    Is Optical Media dead?

    Wow, a whole bunch of delusional people in this thread. Blu-Ray discs are down to about 4 cents per gig. Have significantly better durability and longevity than CDs and DVDs. I have stacks of CDs and DVDs that date all the way back to the mid-1990s that all work perfectly except for one or two...

    GUI Programming for C++

    That's not correct. As long as you aren't both modifying and distributing the Qt libraries themselves, your dynamically linked app can be closed source, BSD licensed, or whatever you want. The commercial license is for people who want to: 1. Make the own modifications to the Qt libraries...

    GUI Programming for C++

    If I am reading this page correctly: http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/6749 As long as you aren't distributing modified versions of the Qt libraries themselves and are dynamically linking to them you can do pretty much whatever you want with your app.

    GUI Programming for C++

    I would suggest installing QtCreator. devel/qtcreator You should be able to very quickly have basic windowed applications built and running. However, the QtCreator port, at least when I installed it, didn't have the example/tutorial projects included. You can work from...

    Multiple USB Harddrive Problems

    Sorry for the confusion. I should have done a better job making the two problems clearer. Or done two separate posts. Here is the output of one of the drives having the g_vfs_done() write error problem: sudo smartctl -a /dev/da2 smartctl 5.43 2012-06-30 r3573 [FreeBSD 9.1-RC1 amd64] (local...

    The 2 gig drives are both msdos formatted and connected to USB 2.0 ports - I can't get any USB drives to mount in the system's USB 3.0 ports.

    locate Command Not Working Properly

    Thank you. Ok, running $ cd / $ sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb and the locate can find everything on the drive now. Any idea why the weekly periodic isn't working? I don't believe I have ever manually updated the database myself and in the past it was properly indexing the entire drive.

    locate Command Not Working Properly
