I guess you forgot to strip the debug symbols...

Of course not. All those libraries are built with comparable options and stripped.
It's possible to make them all somewhat smaller (though the size george states is pure bullshit), but that won't change the size ratio.

Paul,

KDE is actually a friendly community and respecting each other is the basis for working together well.

It's highly disrespectful to say that one of our core contributors is 'talking bullshit', and I'd like to ask you to show the due respect to the people who work on Free Software -- often those are volunteers and are being put off by comments as yours. Besides that, your points are very weakened by the way you're putting them forward.

So please show the due respect or just stop posting. Also, an excuse for your rude behaviour towards George is in place.

well I think very highly both of friendship and of respecting each other.

Respect is first and foremost about not ruthlessly steping accross some virtual lines that define the limits of trust and honesty between well behaved individuals.

When some people consistently confuse Public Relation Spin and outright deception, distorting facts for the benefit of a specific agenda, they are doing a great disservice to the community and showing complete disrespect to people who argue with real world technical evidence.

Once you've crossed that border a great many times, you can't expect people to show much respect for your arguments in return.

I agree George could've responded better, eg go into the duplicating thing you where talking about. Still, I think you where very rude, and I agree with Sebas here - saying sorry wouldn't hurt anybody.

Of course, it's up to you, and luckily most of us can handle some rudeness (after all, geeks aren't known for their social skills). And this is an interesting topic you got there - I'm no hacker, so I don't know much about this. So I'd love to hear how Webkit is duplicating stuff in Qt. And if it is, doesn't that go for every html engine, or is it webkit specific (due to it being crossplatform or something?). And can something be done about that? (after all, if so, they might be working on that already).
