KDE 2.2.2
loopkin writes: "Seems that the last KDE 2 is out. KDE 2.2.2 is faster and more stable and secure than 2.2.1, as stated in the Changelog. You will appreciate the trick that makes the icons load 5% faster in particular. Announcement is here. Please use mirrors for download, but original FTP is here.
Note as well that maybe for the first time, there are _official_ RH packages for a _stable_ release (7.2)."
First?
Smelly foot with Corns.
Why oh why the rancid odour
Of cheesy second rate software?
Oh, the mastery of the English langwidge shown above! Swoon!

Whether it be entertainment, universities, important corporations making advancements in medicine and technology, it's here in America. Give thanks you were lucky enough to be born into heaven.
A turkey walks into a bar and sits on the counter and says: "Have you got any bread?"
With this the barman looked stunned at the talking turkey and said: "Ahmm. No"
The turkey looked staisfied with this answer and then looked at the shelves and drinks on them, again he turned to the barman and asked: "Have you got any bread?"
The barman, still quite stunned looked at the turkey and said: "No, This is a bar, theres a bakery three doors down, we have no bread here!"
The turkey looked staisfied with this answer and then looked around again, saying: "You must have bread, have a look outside the back, there must be SOME bread around somewhere!"
The barman getting decidedly pissed off, says: "For fuck sake turkey, WE HAVE NO BREAD!!"
The turkey looked stunned at the answer, and then asked again: "HAVE YOU GOT ANY BREAD"
"FUCK OFF"
"I JUST WANT SOME BREAD"
"I TOLD YOU...."
"HAVE YOU GOT ANY BREAD?"
"LISTEN.....turkey.....IF YOU ASK ME FOR BREAD ONCE MORE I'M GONNA NAIL YOUR FUCKIN BEAK TO THE COUNTER!!!!"
The turkey, looks at the barman stunned and asks : "Have you got any nails?"
The barman says: "NO"
The turkey pauses, then asks: "Have you got any bread?"
Only 2200 years ago, Scipio Africanus slaughtered the people of Carthage, razed the city and plowed theground with salt and all you peoplecan go on about is some lame GUI. My *god* people GET SOME PERSPECTIVE.
etc.
Please explain for a non-American. I assume that it is for giving thanks to something - but what? It sounds just like another reason to eat loads of food, get drunk and have to deal with the Grandparents and that horrible aunt.
Thanksgiving, although not called a religious holiday, is the day the pilgrims dedicated to giving thanks to the Christian God for a year of good harvest and blessings (including meeting and learning from the natives). We, who remember this, also count our blessings from the past year. I all thanksgiving is is just what you described, it's hard to think of things to be thankful for.
Eight years ago I played 4 hours of Doom, daily, on a 486-33. Four years ago I played 4 hours of Quake, daily, on a P2-300. Today I play 4 hours of Wolfenstein, daily, on a P4-2000

Where is the gain in time?
You're ping times have gone down. That's a time savings that your online foes appreciate!
Moneyed corporations, non-working 'poor' and criminal prisoners are turning productive citizens into tax-slaves.
Meanwhile, I will return to uploading my KDE 2.2.2 packages into Debian unstable. It should be apt-gettable within a couple of hours, as the KDE folks were good enough to allow time for packaging before announcing the release. We're not to be upstaged by these RedHat packages
Damn, this is a clever troll. But the phony link is a dead give away. ;-)
Gnome quicker? Yeah, right...
Salvation Army? Goodwill? Do you like stealing from the poor?
