No GNOME For Solaris 9
Nailer writes: "Subject says it all really. A (very brief) Linuxgram article claims GNOME 2.0 won't be ready for Solaris 9 and the OS will ship with CDE and Motif as defaults. I'm just waiting for the inevitable announcement the GTK port of OpenOffice has been cancelled."
As if anyone would care. StarOffice exists for one reason only - to poach MS Office users. If you are on a pltform that does not support MS Office (or your platform is not named Solaris), don't expect too much support
FP!
make that 3rd post...
:(
Windows, since version 1.0, is still not ready, yet they ship a new version every couple of years.

...the Sun will fail.
Um, what? RH? Not shipping with GNOME? What crack are you on? Every review of 7.2 I've read so far mentions how nice and polished their GNOME interface is. If someone could mod this troll into oblivion before he spreads more FUD it would be appreciated.

Out of curiosity, what does that mean?
"In February 1998, Larry Wayne Harris, a white supremacist and born-again Christian, boasted to an informant that he had enough military-grade anthrax to wipe out all of Las Vegas. Eight bags marked "biological" had been found in the back of a car he and his accomplice were driving.17 Several days later, federal authorities learned that the anthrax Harris had brought to Las Vegas was a vaccine strain not harmful to human health. Nevertheless, the incident frightened many people and sparked a proliferation of anthrax hoaxes and threats in the second half of 1998 continuing into 1999 by groups including Identity Christians and other antigovernment groups, extortionists, antiabortion activists, and presumed prochoice groups." --CDC, 7/00.
Now that all the idiot european Green Party morons have been exposed for what they really are -- pacifist, appeasing, isolationists (courtesy of Osama Bin Laden) -- all they can do is come to slashdot and mentally masturbate over their last, best shot at a fourth reich -- that trolltech $1550 POS Qt and the dogshit layed on it, KDE.
To a professional Solaris consumer, they are both horrid pieces of shit. One, however, is truly free, for all projects, public and private. The other costs $1550 per developer. Seems like an inversion to me, or an intelligence test.
When it comes down to it, you sick shit-eating motherfuckers, you better hide deep in your bunkers, cuz when Gnome 2.0 comes out it's gonna be like you had a bunker bomb launched up your collective ass.
KDE and TrollTech are a pair of fucking EuroTrash theives, and these two bitches are gonna feel the wrath of PimpMaster Migual Icaza.
Here's to hoping that the inspiration isn't a flash in the pan. I've been musing lately about my recent experiences with quicken, as well as airlines.
in the grand tradition of one of my closest associates, nate oostendorp, i have elected to construct one of the easiest web pages on the planet. if you want neat, go to Rob's Page. or you can go to the main place i work on, the redoubtable slashdot.org (which we've sold to Andover.net, a great bunch of people). Of course, since I wrote that, we've merged with VA Linux Systems. Like before, it's a good bunch of people - which goes to show that people make work interesting. what else do i do? i work for blockstackers, a small firm that is basically an umbrella to all the things in life that we like to do. I also play computer games - most recently Baldur's Gate II, although some Diablo II, and SimCity 3000 Unlimited. I run Linux. I listen to a huge assortment of music as well, but particularly enjoy ambient music. I'm also very interested in nanotechnology. i like to read (and you can see what I'm reading right now) and not just on the computer screen. if you want to read, you should read things like Neil Gaiman, Terry Prachett, Robert Heinlein, Frank Herbert, William S. Burroughs, Kerouac, James Joyce, Shakespeare, Stephen Ambrose and Douglas Coupland. They've all got things to say, and say them well, and you should listen to them. But you should also listen to what you have to say. You should write that down, and keep that somewhere, because in seven hours, you aren't going to be able to recall this moment. That's one of the biggest lessons in life. why should you listen to me? well, no particular reason-other then i think i've learned a bunch of neat stuff about computers, but more to the point, how computers and people work together. because it doesn't matter how good computers can be-we have to use it. and we need to, because technology is only going to get cooler. i am eagerly awaiting the day for nanotech. my significant other thinks differently. but that's ok-because people need to think different things. besides, she brought her daught er into the world, who is the apple of my eye. on other occasions, i've taken the time to write things down. due to bad luck, as epitomized by a big house fire, i've lost much of my writing, but what i have...well.
and for those of you who wonder where the name hemos came from, perhaps an answer can be found. write this moment down
is a half-elf. If he ever tells you he isn't, trust me - he's lying.
Crazy freak of nature.
I haven't even opened the Solaris 8 box on my desk.
Corn shit?
You be the fresh prince of salem buddy boy...
