    We can have anti-aliased fonts in a buggy core as opposed to anti-aliased fonts in patches with integration problems...

    Not to say that GNOME has bugs, of course.

    Maybe by 3.0, they'll have caught up to KDE.

    Who the fuck cares, just because there's an offtopic moderation choice, doesn't mean people have to use it. I and other people are interested in the link and that's all that matters, I don't exactly see any kde3 articles being posted recently, I think this person was justified in posting.

    I love catching these kind of moderators in metamod. I hardly ever give anyone fair for modding someone down unless the person was obviously a troll. I usually leave it be, and if it's anyway iffy on the moderation I'll mark it unfair. Don't like this? Then fucking stop modding people down! Let them post at 1, just don't mod em up.

    It pisses me off when people vote down a perfectly valid comment that has to do along the same lines as the story, just because it's not exactly on topic. Which is why I'm posting this as AC. Because I'd probably instantly moderated down to -1 offtopic (which I am, but hey). Normally I wouldn't care, but that affects my normal account and what I can post at.
