Qt Creator 2.6 introduces QNX support

This just in: The Qt developer blog has announced a new release of Qt Creator, the integrated development environment for creating applications and user interfaces based on the Qt application framework. (If you're unfamiliar with Qt, check out these previous posts.)

The new release, version 2.6, is now in beta and introduces two key features: support for the QNX OS and a concept called kits.

According to Eike Ziller of the Qt developer blog, a kit is a user-defined combination of compiler, debugger, Qt version, and target device. As a developer, you can freely choose each kit setting independent of all other settings. For instance, you can mix and match compilers and Qt versions. Qt Creator will warn you if it thinks you're choosing a dumb combination, but otherwise gives you free rein over the configuration.

Kits are new to 2.6 and they replace a concept called targets. Targets served a similar function, but were "hardwired". If you deviated from the default setting of a target, you had to manually change all build and run configurations. But now, with targets, the IDE makes these changes for you.

Qt Creator 2.6 supports both QNX and Android, but doesn't support Symbian. According to Ziller, Symbian support had to be dropped because of a lack of maintainers.

Here's a screen capture of the Kit Preferences dialog:

Strange Mandy Nagy document

This is the url for a document titled Emick-BK. It recently emerged and appears to have been written by Mandy Nagy.


Breitbart hack


Why is spy factory numbnut Emick's
name included?


I can't tell where the original comes from. Or perhaps that is the original being published. The uploader for the above was an OccupyUnMasked.

To me, he smells like Rauhauser. It's simply more of the same Breitbart UnMasked schtick. But why would the Numbnuts post something that makes Team Breitbart and myself look good? Why would Rauhauser support Breitbart? I know, this shite is that twisted.

Mandy put in information that we had discussed over numerous phone conversations. She was adept at portraying herself as legit.

I offer a few tweets:

It's pretty obvious, imho, what's going on. It's scripted convolution merging sadistic e-commerce with spy factory nonsense.

There's a lot of inside baseball going on indeed.

Someone please ask @Liberty_Chick how that scribd recently emerged. Where is the original(s)? Why is Emick's name included in the title?

Mandy was wrong about Lane Lipton. "Qritiq" certainly exhibited bad discretion facilitating Kenoma's sadism. She messed up thinking I was part of the Breitbart cult or aiding it. I don't know. She was wrong. But that didn't prove Lipton was a perpetrator working for the "Rauhauser axis."

I was cyberstalked and smeared by someone with the alias Louis Aubuchont. We did discuss how my online identity was faked. That happened quite a number of times. Nagy said law enforcement was involved. To be patient. I believed in her. She spoke of a class action suit on behalf of all us victims (including Stack). She said she was going to publish something just like this. Was this the roughdraft? Why did she shelve this? Wtf is going on?

That's actually not too shabby a document by Nagy. I tip my cap to her for evolving into such a successful hack. It does spell out quite a bit.

It was obviously written several months ago. What's up with this having been published by OccupyUnmasked?

Meanwhile Fatterico is making a plea for further funding of co-star Aaron Walker.
The bad guys are swarming Aaron again and he could use your help.

I told you over the weekend how pro-Occupy and pro-Kimberlin forces had threatened Lee Stranahan and Brandon Darby, who participated in the making of Occupy Unmasked. The story was reported in the Hollywood Reporter: ...
I recall Keith Olbermann kicking Breitbart's butt in regards to OWS rape allegations. But I digress.

Fatterico reported:
Aaron still has no job and is still fighting these cretins in court. He could use your help. Just go to his blog and hit the top PayPal link. I just donated $50.
Now Barrett Brown is posting a youtube video calling out Patrick Frey.



Brown's the fella portrayed as a spokesman for Anonymous. He reeks more like a paid fake and/or informant.

There are other side issues percolating in regards to this major scam constructed around my true story.

Liberal Grouch and Lee Stranahan are busy trading barbs. Lee claims to be putting together a defamation lawsuit against Grouch, Mike Stack, Brooks Bayne, Occupy Rebellion and anyone else he alleges is working for Rauhauser.

Grouchie recently stole a screenshot of mine of Stranahan showing missing front teeth during a tv interview. That's ok. Grouch's buddy Breitbart Unmasked lifted a whole section of mine, even glorified it, before shutting his doors for quite a while. Comparatively what Grouch did wasn't too bad.

It's definitely odd that OccupyUnmasked has appeared at the same time as Breitbart Unmasks' renewal.

Lets return to the "new" Mandy document. I always wanted her to write something like this up. Telling my story. Explaining it. She told me she was going to but I never saw it.

To reiterate, Mandy claimed law enforcement was working on it. She told me there was the likely outcome of us having a class action suit against both Kimberlin and Rauhauser. Personally I desired more conclusive proof Rauhauser and Kimberlin were close associates. It was obvious, but that's not the same as proving it in court.

The Breitbarts did absolutely nothing for me. Andrew Breitbart knew all about it and did nothing. He was definitely an asswipe in a lot of hot water for the Sherrod and other thingies. He was high strung. If he hadn't been such a douchebag, perhaps he could have lived much longer.

In short, the Breitbarts run things the same way as Friedman and Kimberlin run Velvet Revolution and affiliates. In my humble opinion, all of them (both sides) are absolutely worried many people will read the truth through this blog of what really happened.

Brad Friedman wants folks to think his reputation hasn't been given a legitimate hatchet job. Credibility is gone for ALL of them. I take solace in that fact.

I'm done. I'm done.

Video: QNX-powered system fires protons to kill cancer

Proton therapy system, Indiana University Health Proton Therapy Center
The QNX-powered proton therapy 
system, or PTS
It zaps cancer cells to kingdom come. Better yet, it wipes them out while leaving healthy cells alone. It's called proton therapy, and it's one of the deadliest weapons in the arsenal against cancer.

Conventional radiotherapy may be potent, but it has a drawback. It can sometimes damage healthy tissue, and this damage can lead to secondary cancers later in life — a problem among children, who may live for many years after treatment and who are more likely to suffer from this side-effect.

There is, then, a real need to avoid radiating healthy tissue while maximizing the damage to the diseased tissue. And that's where proton therapy comes in.

Surgical strikes
Protons are relatively heavy, charged particles. They do minimal damage as they pass through tissue, but inflict significant damage where they stop. The challenge is to control the proton beams so that they stop exactly where you want them — the tumor.

Enter the QNX-powered proton therapy system (PTS) at the Indiana University Health Proton Therapy Center. Using the PTS, a radiotherapist can limit damage mostly to where the tumor is located. The radiotherapist can even "mold" the proton beam into the same shape as the tumor. This accuracy makes proton therapy especially useful for treating tumors located near vital organs. It can also reduce long-term effects sometimes associated with conventional forms of radiotherapy. And it serves as an alternative for patients who have already received other forms of treatment and have incurred damage to healthy tissue as a result — proton therapy can minimize the possibility that more healthy tissue is affected.

Delivering the right dose
The PTS uses the QNX OS in its dose delivery system (DDS) — think of it as the business end of the PTS. The DDS controls devices on the system’s nozzle (the beam transport and detection hardware closest to the patient) and measures dose-related values. The DDS also implements an energy-stacking scheme to obtain uniform depth-dose distributions.

The QNX OS allows the DDS to achieve very fast response times. For instance, if beam delivery must stop for any reason, the OS helps ensure that it stops immediately — and in this application, immediately is the only viable option.



I'm feeling appreciative
Before I let you go, a word of thanks to the folks at the proton therapy center. A year ago, I approached them out of nowhere with a proposal to do a video. Their response was overwhelmingly positive. They willingly gave of their time to discuss the proposal, explain what they do, and, of course, work with us on the video itself. While I'm at it, I'd also like to thank my friend and colleague Nancy Young for her fantastic work on this and all the other QNX videos she has produced in the last couple of years. (Speaking of which, have you subscribed to the QNX YouTube channel yet?)
