    No more such data from me! I promise! :)

    p.s. the Helpers are very friendly people. They helped me with much new information about Qt C++. I hope this will go so on with my new account! :)

    I think if they invite you, so they understand that you don't have much experience and will ask about basic things in C++. So just revise knowledge about c++, as you said: classes, templates, pointers.
    And as it says worst-first :-)
    Good luck.

    There was Qt before Nokia and there will be Qt long after Nokia has gone.
    Qt is open source and open governance – who will stop us? :-)

    bq. MeeGo is competitor OS to Windows Phone so it is not a big surprise that Nokia will not ship N9 in the USA.

    My naive idea was, that the CEO of Nokia makes his decision in the best interest of Nokia and not Microsoft. Samsung sells WP7 phones and Android. Less than 5% of customers choose Microsoft phones. If Samsung offered only Microsoft they would miss on 95% of revenue.
    By the way, the share price of Nokia lost 60% since the burning platform speach that destroyed the Nokia revenue stream.

    Thank you. This type of spam is very much prevalent in most DB. These are usually done for SEO to get more visibility in search engines.

    In this particular case the user seems to have just created the account for this sole purpose, since there is no other post.

    A suggestion would be to disable hyperlinks to be enabled till certain level(eg Lab Rat level won't give you this privilege). This is followed in most forums.

    [quote author="KA51O" date="1310720615"]My fear is that Stephen Elop is the anti christ send by MS to reduce Nokias value to such an extend that MS can buy it for a good value and thus use it to promote their own mobile OS. ;-)

    This is a good point of departure for wild conspiracy theories.[/quote]

    Is it still a wild conspiracy theory if it sounds like a fairly reasonable scenario?

    I use one of "these":http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/natural-ergonomic-keyboard-4000/B2M-00012 at work. It's a split keyboard and it took a little getting used to, but I find that for extended periods of typing, it really does make things more comfortable. I typically ignore all the extra keys and buttons and gadgets on it, though I have mapped a few of the extra keys to some of my favorite commonly used Qt Creator features.

    At home, I'm a traditionalist, and still enjoy my "Model M,":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_M_keyboard which I've been using for years now. I love the clicky feel from the buckle springs and the sheer weight of the thing. It's truly an old friend.

    Edit: @bobby - You might be using a Das Keyboard, but the Model M was the original DOS Keyboard. :-)

    hardware has to be that different.
