les amoureux de Qt sont des culs terreux

I also pronounce it Q-T.

By the way, is any programmer impressed by this video? After seeing it, do you think: "Wow, that looks like a good framework."? I think it can only hurt more than help.

You know. If I was a pretty femal programmer I might not have a problem calling myself a "cute programmer". However, being an oversized male I think I will stick to "Que-Tee"..

Yeah I'm not sure about that "Qt dance" video... I don't know what the context is - sales, or maybe just for a laugh... at least it looks like they're having fun

Not really. It looks like their families are being held hostage and they're being forced to do this.

Trolltech people are known for their creativity, ideas and non-conventional behaviour

Have you heard about "creative fridays"?

Good damn you! I'm french but not a cul-terreux! On dirait qu'on est les seuls ici mais c'est pas grave...

No. It's 'Cutie'.

Which I'm not.

Does it really matter? For me it's important that I can implement software with it easily, no matter how you pronounce it.

The official pronounciation is "cute", a Yankee habit(1) of spelling abreviations letter by letter(2) (hence also QColor and not QColour, etc.), which seems odd as Qt is totally a European product.

(1) and please don't give counter arguments of "CIA", "FBI", "NSA", etc.
(2) I heard Microsoft people spell SQL as "school".
