They aren't included simply because that's not how you initialize structs/classes in idiomatic C++.
That's what constructors are for.

Granted, if you must work with C structs to which definitions...

Well, for all the people wondering about GTK+/Gnome stuff in Ubuntu, Oliver Ries said in his email that Canonical will move all their "community backend" stuff to Qt.

Did you read that Canonical is moving all their stuff to Qt?
Please say yes and say that you already prepared a diatribe for us to laugh at :D

Yes no hoax, Ubuntu is really developing an alternative to Wayland and X.org: "Mir".

I just read this from an email by Oliver Ries.

The wiki page is http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MirSpec.

Oliver is...

Thank you for explaining your reasoning.

While I agree that FLOSS solutions in general have a brighter future in Linux(and I prefer them, don't get me wrong), I think there are certain limits...

Care to explain why they're "doomed, flawed and fated to destruction"?
Assuming Nvidia doesn't release any documentation any time soon, how can the reverse-engineered nouveau ever be as good(or even...

I was distro-hopping a lot lately and finally settled with Fedora 17 yesterday. To my surprise, Gnome Shell isn't as bad as people make it out to be. In fact, I quite like it. (Please don't hit me...

If not already happening, I think it's best if everyone just ignores users like "kill bsd" "bsd sucks and dies" etc. who are probably only one person anyway.
Although I'm generally against such...

Ah, OK.
Thanks for the heads-up ;-)

Could you elaborate on these points?

I will do that of course :-)

Congratulations to everyone who got an invite, I also got one today :-D

I'm surprised to be honest. I thought I would never get one because I selected "other" as distribution, and I even have...

And why do you think so?

I suggest we all calm down and do not start another BSD vs. GPL war.
There are several places where you can discuss this endlessly, but please try to keep this on topic.
If you go on, then just...

I suggest you stop this childish behaviour.

From the end user perspective this might be the most logical thing to do.
However, most devs realize their own visions on the various BSDs. That's why there is not one single BSD OS.
For example,...

You're implying that the goal of the BSD devs is to be popular. It's not.
The devs have ideals. That's why they are doing what they are doing.
Other than that, if everyone would only develop for...

Well, that's easy to imagine.
Your point was that BSDs share kernels. That's not true, as the BSD being talked about in the article all use different kernels.
Also, you said they share packaging...

That's not correct. PC-BSD is "merely" FreeBSD with a different installer and pre-installed software and configuration.
Also, the "4 major" BSDs don't share a kernel, they are vastly different....

They really don't want it released :P
