KDE 3.0 Alpha1 Available for Developers
Dre writes: "Just a few weeks after the release of the rock-solid KDE 2.2.1, the KDE Project today announced the release of KDE 3.0 Alpha1. Targeted at developers who want to get a head start on porting or writing applications to KDE 3, the release is pretty much a straight port of the KDE 2.2 branch to Qt 3. However, for developers this brings an impressive array of new features to KDE, including new database classes, new data-aware widgets, improved RAD development with a much-enhanced Qt Designer, a new powerful regular expression class (with full Unicode support), improved internationalization support (including the ability to mix different character sets in the same text), bi-directional language support (for languages such as Arabic and Hebrew), multi-monitor (Xinerama and multi-screen) support, better integration of pure Qt applications into KDE, and hardware-accelerated alpha blending. With the Qt port out of the way, the KDE developers can now focus on the planned
KDE improvements. Read the full announcement here, or go straight to the source
(alternative

Now it'll run slower than ever! 2.2.1 compiled for i686 using obj-prelink is still as slow and bloated as Windows XP. Sorry, guys, but unless things ever get _faster_, I'll stay where I am.
So KDE will go away soon; don't waste your time
can hardly wait till KDE reaches 4.0. it will be bloat bloat city. it is already fat as a christmas turkey and filled with as much shit.

Ladies & gentlemen of this supposed jury, Chef's attorney would certainly believe that his client wrote 'Stinky Britches' 10 years ago, and they make a good case, hell I almost felt pity myself, but ladies & gentlemen of the supposed jury, I have one final thing that I want you to consider. Ladies & gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookie from the planet Kishu, but Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor.
Now think about it... THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE! Why would a Wookie, an 8' tall Wookie want to live on Endor with a bunch of 2' tall Ewoks? THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE! But more importantly we have to ask ourselves, "What does this have to do with this case?". NOTHING! Ladies & gentlemen it has nothing to do with this case, IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!
Look at me, I'm a lawyer, defending a major record company and I'm talking about Chewbacca. Does that make sense? Ladies & gentlemen, I AM NOT MAKING ANY SENSE! None of this makes sense. And so you have to rememeber, when you're in that jury room, deliberating and conjugating the emancipation proclamation, does it make sense? NO! Ladies & gentlemen of this supposed jury it does not make sense.
If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit. The defence rests.
The forefront of desktop technology is happening with Java (OSX, pure Java) and C# (Windows); C and C++-based efforts are widely deployed (Windows, KDE, Gnome), but they are already falling behind.
For the record, Java garbage collection is absolutely not cheap nor predictable - and it blocks ALL threads while it collects. Java finalizers are only good to reclaim memory resources (and most expert Java books say not to use them at all for all the trouble they cause when you reference other objects inside finalizers). C++'s destructors, on the other hand, reclaim both memory and non-memory resources like file descriptors, graphics contexts - you name it. To accomplish this in Java you have to turn your code inside out and let the USER of your library wrap your code inside a try-finally block and call in the finally block whatever home-grown ResourceRelease()/close() function for your class - i.e., the object encapsulation breaks down in Java for resource reclamation.
