OSNews Talks With the Konqueror Team

JigSaw writes: "OSNews features an exclusive interview with the Konqueror team, KDE's integrated filemanager, image/document viewer and web browser. Dirk Mueller, Waldo Bastian, Carsten Pfeiffer and Simon Hausmann are answering questions regarding the future of Konqueror, its portability and the integration with KDE3 and QT3. And speaking about KDE3, OSNews is reporting what's new in the new version: KDE 3 will be based on QT 3.0 and will also feature educational and other apps (like Kompare and KWinTV) as part of the default installation, support for extremely large files, new versions for KNode and KMail, email templates in KMail, advanced Web Shortcuts, S/MIME support, plugins for the KMenu, a graphical Regular Expression app (KRegExpEditor) and much more. A (very early) alpha version is already available."

    A NEWS PIECE!

    A FRICKING NEWS PIECE!

    Slashdot website creator, Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda, was rushed to the hospital this afternoon after having his penis sliced off. Authorities say the accident involved Rob's penis, his computer, and an illegal computer device imported from China that was designed to stimulate the penis during cyber-sex. The authorities aren't releasing many details yet as to how it happened, but they suspect that the device malfunctioned which caused his penis to be sliced off. However, there is speculation among the Slashdot community that the Open Source Operating System "Linux" is to blame, for its faulty structure and lack of professional development. There is no word of whether there was any foul-play involved from hackers amongst the Linux community

    guide to negative karma :

    - Choose a nickname that insults at least two minorities, and shocks any mayority.
    - Always post as early as possible. While it's not neccesary to have a first post, being somewhere on top for all lousy oldest first browsing moderators to see is definitly an advantage.
    - Be as irate as possible. Mimicking the style, vocabulary and grammar of most articles will do the trick.
    - Be sure to include a link to some gay/bestiality pr0n, as this will trigger every homophobic moderator in a 500 mile radius.
    - Show your ASCII handywork!
    - Come up with some creative, sick-minded insults, and make sure to target it towards a slashdot editor of choice.
    - Put some kind of theme in all your posts. Don't switch sides or opinion every other post.

    Happy posting!

    Well, I hate to bring this up, and in NO WAY do I support Microsoft, but as it stands now, Internet Explorer is the fastest web browser out there (sadly enough). It renders images the fastest as well. Konqueror and Mozilla are catching up, but slower than Microsoft is spitting new IE versions out. I think it's good that they are competing with IE, because Microsoft can't rule everything in the computer world.

    Is anyone else so completely stunned as me, that essentially everyone (except AMD) has rolled over and allowed the IA64 to be crowned heir apparent as the new high-end microprocessor? The Alpha is dead by acquisition, HPPA is dead by partnership, MIPS is lost somewhere in the low end, and Sparc and Power4 are both retreating upstream.

    It's amazing that ANYONE can field the number of mistakes that Intel has, and get away with it. For some time now, their first-outs have been essentially flops:

    Pentium: Remember the 5V room heaters?

    Pentium: Then the 3.3V units with floating point bugs?

    Pentium Pro: The ancestor of the Pentium II/III line was a good CPU in its own right, and worked well for Unix and OS/2. But it completely missed the market, performing terribly on 16 bit code.

    Celeron: DeCeleron, until they put the cache back on. From another point of view, the whole Celeron program has been a disaster, either by its own crippling, or by revealing how overpriced the PII/PIII line is.

    Pentium III: CPUID - A 'workstation idea' that once again missed its market. Maybe if they'd found a way to node-lock software that can't be used for machine tracing. Maybe that's not what they were after.

    Pentium 4: Let's face it, this CPU is just plain uneven and imbalanced. After a round of redesign to even it out, just like with the others, it could very well be an excellent CPU. Tame the prefetch, expand the trace cache, etc.

    Itanium: Didn't even make it out the door before spin-doctoring began. "Just wait for McKinley!" I've already heard one set of rumors that McKinley isn't going to *really* do it either, so just wait for IA64-III.

    Is all this any better than the "Just wait for this new release!" that Microsoft keeps pulling? Though I guess Intel does generally get each family right on the second shot.

    AMD has a good product, I just wish they were a little less mum, and had a better response than warmed-over P-numbers. I also wish we could hear a bit more noise about the Hammers.

    1. Re:Kmail vendors by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

      While you have certainly kept track of Intel, I believe you've completely ignored the rest of the world's history.

      That is, all these companies have had their share of problems.

      When the Alpha was first released it ran *HOT*. I had one of the early DEC3000/300 on my desk. DEC had other problems with the Alpha. The CPU itself was denied it's future because of poor quality boxes it was put into.

      I'm not quite as farmiliar with Sparc or PowerPC, but we shouldn't forget that Sun was having difficulties with the Sparc found in the E10000 not too long ago. To the companies who had paid millions for these boxes, it was a bigger deal than the Pentium floating point problem.

      AMD has had their share of flops. The early 386 and 486 designs were good, but should we all forget the K5 and the early K6?

      I had a Cyrix 486DX/50 clone back in '94, and it wouldn't work with a variety of software under Linux such as ghostscript. Cyrix replaced it, reluctantly... I had to argue with them on the phone despite Infoworld articles reporting the problem.

      I don't see Intel has having a signifigantly worse track record than others. Their product is certainly used in a higher number and thus the failures are higher profile.
