GNOME 2.0 Developer Platform Beta

You can find the full announcement on Gnotices. The GNOME developers have been hard at work. Feel free to download, create/port applications, and, most of all, send in nicely detailed bug reports!"
Hopefully this will be a step closer to a consumer linux desktop.
Slashdot claims to have several editors on its staff. This is not true. Editors are people who edit. What does it mean to edit? Well, according to 'm-w.com' to edit means: to prepare for publication or public presentation. Does the Slashdot staff do this? Hardly. The readers who submit stories do this; they prepare the stories for slashdot. The staff just cuts and pastes them onto the front page. Editors also check for spelling and grammar. Editors also try to show both sides of a story; the Slashdot staff is some of the most biased people on the net. Just look at the icon for Microsoft posts to see this bias in action.
So, if they are not editors, what are they? They are janitors. Janitors clean up and put things back in place. The Slashdot staff cleans up troll vomit and crap floods. The janitor at my old high school was a big track star 'back in the day' but now he is just an old fool that the kids made fun of. He never really got it. He thought he ran the school just because he had the keys to the front door. It is the same with the Slashdot staff, they used to be important, but now they are just old fools who can't even remember what stories they posted just a few days back. The Slashdot staff also believes that they run the site, but it is OSDN that runs the show. The Slashdot staff doesn't see or hear the kids laughing behind their backs.

If RMS is still following the GNOME project even after losing the election... campaign promises and all that...
If he had won, this might be one of the last GNOMEs with reasonable licensing...
The 1 billionth comment posted on Slashdot! And I am the one to post it Thank you!
I can't run it in a DOS window.
I am now confused. Should I be excited?
To access zipped files I use unzip, but to access a frozen api, is the software called "unfreeze" or "thaw"?
Let's have a close look at the costs involved when running a Linux system.
An important factor in Linux' cost is its maintenance. Linux requires a *lot* of maintenance, work doable only by the relatively few high-paid Linux administrators that put themselves - of course willingly - at a great place in the market. Linux seems to be needing maintenance continuously, to keep it from breaking down.
Add to this the cost of loss of data. Linux' native file system, EXT2FS, is known to lose data like a firehose spouts water when the file system isn't unmounted properly. Other unix file systems are much more tolerant towards unexpected crashes. An example is the FreeBSD file system, which with soft updates enabled, performance-wise blows EXT2FS out of the water, and doesn't have the negative drawback of extreme data loss in case of a system breakdown.
According to Linux advocates, an alternative to EXT2FS would be ReiserFS. Unfortunately, ReiserFS is still in beta stage. This means it is not intended for production use (although according to many Linux advocates this shouldn't be a problem, which makes me wonder how (little) valuable they find your data).
The other proposed 'solution', EXT3FS, is nothing more than an ugly hack to put journaling into the file system. All the drawbacks of the ancient EXT2FS file system remain in EXT3FS, for the sake of 'forward- and backward compatibility'. This is interesting, considering that the DOS heritage in the Windows 9x/ME series was considered a very bad thing by the Linux community, even though it provided what could be called one of the best examples of compatibility, ever. When it's about Linux, compatibility constraints don't seem to be that much of a problem for Linux advocates.
Back to Linux' cost. Factor in also the fact that crashes happen much more often on Linux than on other unices. On other unices, crashes usually are caused by external sources like power outages. Crashes in Linux are a regular thing, and nobody seems to know what causes them, internally. Linux advocates try to hide this fact by denying crashes ever happen. Instead, they have frequent "hardware problems".
The steep learning curve compared to about any other operating system out there is a major factor in Linux' cost. The system is a mix of features from all kinds of unices, but not one of them is implemented right. A Linux user has to live with badly coded tools which have low performance, mangle data seemingly at random and are not in line with their specification. On top of that a lot of them spit out the most childish and unprofessional messages, indicating that they were created by 14-year olds with too much time, no talent and a bad attitude.
I could go on and on and on, but the conclusion is clear. Linux is not an option for any one who seeks a professional OS with high performance, scalability, stability, adherence to standards, etc.
Yes, I know this is blatant karma whoring, but you can get more information about this here if anyone's interested.
Okay, this is coming from a lesser-experience Linux user so don't flame me TOO hard, but how does this tie (if at all) with Ximian's version of Gnome?
I'm really liking Evolution, and while their desktop is pretty, it seems bare in comparision to KDE's solution. To be able to port more stuff over to Gnome (and Ximian's GNOME), would be wonderful in my eyes.
Now, granted, I may be completely confused and these don't mix at all, so in that case, just tell me to shut up and I'll go crawl back in my hole.
Perhaps for GNOME 2, they should change it to a RIGHT foot instead... just a thought.
Everything is mainstream now.
Why have I been receiving emails from CmdrTaco, in which he seems to be speaking in some kind of code language?
Good Lord. What is "Taco-snotting?"
Ewwwwww. So, can I stop receiving these emails?
I can't stop receiving these emails from CmdrTaco!?
Have you ever been Taco-Snotted?
That's horrible. Does "Taco-snotting" have anything to do with CmdrTaco's "special taco"?
Does Jon Katz get involved in any of this? I thought he was a paedophile, not a homosexual.
No, thanks. I'm already CmdrTaco's boi toi.

A truly excellent and very humourous troll indeed!
However...
To complete this perverted orgy, fellow geeks Michael, Timothy, and Jamie often join in, dressed in black Gestapo uniforms, jack boots, and leather gloves.
Black GeStaPo uniforms? The GeStaPo (Geheime Staatspolizei - Secret State Police) wore civilian clothes (although there are reports on them occasionally using Allgemeine SS uniforms in occupied territories).
I seriously doubt that perverted individuals like CmdrTaco et al would have the good taste to ever wear the outstandingly beautiful black Waffen SS uniforms! Please update the FAQ accordingly.

Actually, it appears you are both wrong!! Ah ha!! I think our boy WIPO was thinking of the Allgemeine SS uniforms. Waffen SS were grey.

for version 2 you should make a total re-write of the cod...errr...text and add some details about cmdrtaco and the homo-gang's happenings with their coworkers (osdn?) and all of the gay revelry they enjoy and promote. by the way, did i just see cmdrtaco on television promoting the nax hair removal system? i guess after using vaseline in and around his ass he grew quite a ponytail and it had to be removed somehow...ouch!

I DO NOT BELIEVE YOU SIR. FOR ONE THING, THE E-MAIL FROM CMDRTACO DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GRAMMATICAL AND SPELLING MISTAKES. Let's be realistic here, CmdrTaco usually types with one hand, and since he is shaking from jacking off his aim on the keyboard isn't too good. Those e-mails were a little too well written. Sorry boy, you'll have to do better.

I run Linux on my Sony VAIO 505FX (the first generation ultraslim) with 96MB of memory, and the highest res is only 800x600 (I know, I wish it could do better). I find the AA text from KDE to be a really nice feature to have, as it makes everything much smoother. However, KDE is gigantic bloat, and it makes my little vaio crawl.
This machine is quite zippy running Gnome+Sawfish. And I'd wish to have AA fonts on Gnome too. Is this a hi-pri feature for 2.0? Can't wait to see that.
heh, this is a funny story.
I posted earlier, but goddamned, I ran into Rob Malda maybe three weeks ago and he is lugging around serious weight. Goddamn he has gotten really fat. Shit.
DO NOT CLICK THE LINK
I gave my friend a good-bye hug and got on the bus and sat down. It began to fill up quickly and the only seat left was the one next to me. A deep, sexy, female voice asked me if the seat was taken. I looked up, and there was the girl I saw while checking my luggage! I silently cleared my throat and, in my radio voice said "No, have a seat." She smiled and said "Thanks, I will." She had only 1 bag with her and as she reached to put it in the baggage compart- ment above our heads, her skirt raised so far up that I could see the bottom of her delicious pussy. She wasn't even wearing panties! My teeth almost dropped onto the floor. She put the bag up there and sat down. She introduced herself, "Hi, I'm Tiffany. What's your name?" I smiled and said, "I'm (I had to think) Tom. Are you from Ithaca?" "No, I'm from Buffalo, you?" was her reply. I was amazed that she was from Buffalo. That meant that she would be sitting with me the entire 4 hour ride there. I told her of my place of origin and she made a comment on the coincidence.
The bus got ready to leave. The driver closed the door, made the usual pre-departure announcements, and we were off. As we left the station, the driver turned on the air conditioning. It took a few minutes to get back to where were sitting but when it did, I started to get cold. Tiffany did also. I could see the goose bumps forming on her perfectly shaped, tan thighs. After a while it got a little too cold for comfort. She asked me, "Are you cold?" To which I responded, "kind of." She said, "I've got an idea" and with that, got up and reached into her bag (again revealing her sumptuous snatch) and got out a somewhat large blanket. She said, "Do you wanna share this blanket?" It didn't sound like anything promising, but I replied in the affirmative. She draped the blanket over our legs and we rode on. I was a little disappointed because I now could no longer get a glimpse of those incredible legs of hers. But there was a plus to all this. She wouldn't be able to see my hard-on. She also brought down a magazine with the blanket which she promptly started reading. Realizing that she didn't want to talk any longer, I put on the headphones to the walkman that sat in my lap. When the tape was over, I took it out and wanted to get another one. I glanced over at Tiffany. She was asleep with the magazine in he lap. Anyway, I reached under the blanket to get my next tape from my back pack and inadvertently ran my hand down the side of her leg. Her skin was so smooth and the perfume she was wearing was making me horny. As I rummaged through my back pack for the tape I wanted, I felt her leg move up against my arm. I then put the tape in my right hand and ran my left hand back up her leg. She seemed to like it because she moved her leg up and down until I did it again. I moved my hand in a sort of circular motion on her knee and then moved up to her thigh. I stayed on the outside at first, then I moved to the front of it. I stayed there for awhile and then I began to feel adventurous. I casually moved my hand towards the inner part of her thigh about at the knee. I massaged that area 2 or three times and moved back a bit farther. I repeated this pattern until I was at about the middle of her thigh. I was getting very horny and my cock was extremely hard. Her legs were not completely together, but not far enough apart that I could try to massage her pussy. I decided to "test the water" and I moved my hand farther back until I was almost at the junction of her legs. She then rectified the situation of the lack of space between her legs by spreading them and slouching down in the seat. I couldn't believe it. I moved my hand to her pussy. It was very warm. I gently ran my hand around the surface of it to sort of tease her a bit. She started rocking her hips a little which was a definite sign that she wanted more. I began to put some more pressure on her pussy and it was clear she was aroused because I could feel her wetness. I moved up and down her outer lips and up to her clit. I started playing with her clit lightly at first, then increasing my speed and force. She started to breathe more heavily now and she was moving her hips against my hand. By this time I was hard as a rock and I moved my hand down from her clit and put my finger inside her hole. She loved that, especially when I put 2 fingers in there! She began to moan softly and she moved her hand to reach under my shorts and grab my rock-hard cock! I then turned my hand so that I could finger-fuck her and massage her swollen clit at the same time. She moved her pussy back and forth faster now to move with my rhythm. She grabbed me harder and started jerking me off. Finally, things got real hot, I turned to her and said, "Don't you think we should go somewhere more private so we can do all kinds of NASTY things to each other?" As I said this I moved my hand even harder and faster. She could only nod yes and moan in response.
I slowed down, then stopped. We got up and left the blanket, walkman, and magazine on the seats and headed for the bathroom. On the way back, I started to wonder if anyone would hear us. However, I remembered that the engine was back there also, so that probably wouldn't be a problem. We got in there and locked the door. I sat her up on the sink and we started kissing deeply. I started massaging her thighs with both hands this time and she began to moan in excitement. I whipped out my member (which by this time was hard enough to cut diamonds!) and moved it towards her. She then said, "No. Wait. I want you to fuck me but first I want you to eat me. I wanna have my first orgasm in your mouth!" I then proceeded to remove her top and her big, beau- tiful tits popped out. She wasn't even wearing a bra (like that was a big surprise). I stopped thinking about the issue of her dressing style and set to my task. I moved her hips forward onto the sink and got on my knees. I put my mouth up to her inviting tuna taco and blew on it. She liked that alot. I did that for a minute or so. Then I started licking the insides of her thighs and stopped right before I got to the intended target. I did this a few times and it drove her absolutely nuts! I finally started licking her cunt itself. She was one of those women who doesn't even have an odor except for the baby powder that she must have used when she showered. So, upon discovering that she had no alarming scent, I dove right in there. The sudden change from almost no licking to what I was doing now made her twitch and moan loudly. I flicked her clit with my tongue and stopped occasionally to catch my breath. I then took her clit into my mouth and sucked on it. I could tell by her hips bucking that she was gonna come! I didn't want her to just yet. So I turned my atten- tion to her hole! I put my tongue in there and moved my head back and forth so that I could literally fuck her with my tongue. When I felt that now familiar bucking of her hips and her grabbing of her tits and screaming, I stopped. I faked that I was out of breath so that I could get my hand in position. After seeing that she had calmed down, I took my middle finger and stuck it in her hole and started sucking on her clit at the same time using my teeth. I did it hard and fast. She started screaming again and she was gonna come! I thought of stopping again, but I was so horny for this girl that I wanted her to spill her female juices of love all over my face. And that's exactly what she did! I licked and swallowed until I got every last drop. After I got to my feet and started massaging her tits, she grabbed my cock and said, "FUCK ME!"
Boy, what a neat idea. Why didn't I think of that? I told her that since she was holding on to my rod, she could put it in. I grabbed her by the waist and, as soon as my cock was in position, thrusted up inside her. The combination of the action while we were in our seats, the recent adventure of the tongue, and the anticipation of fucking her brains out was almost too much for me. I moved back and forth at a good speed which made her squirm and scream with ectasy! She leaned back and grabbed onto these 2 handles next to the mirror. When she did this, I bent over and, while fucking her, started sucking on her jugs. She was wet, wild, and willing! Speaking of wetness, I could feel my hot cream welling up getting ready to explode. I didn't want to come yet. I wanted to save it for the very last wave of sex. However, she didn't want to save it, she started gyrating and almost hollering! I could feel her orgasm come out in one large tidal wave. The warmth of her juices surrounded my red- hot meat slab. I slowed down a little to allow her to calm down. She looked at me and licked her lips. She said, "OK stud, your turn, sit down!"
I climbed out of my shorts and sat down on the toilet. Then, she stepped out of her skirt and knelt down in front of me. My cock was standing straight up. She took it in her left hand and started massaging my nuts with her right hand. As she did this, she started licking the length of my cock and darting her tongue back and forth on the head. It was driving me absolutely crazy! Then she took it all in her mouth with one swift movement. She started sucking on it like it was a straw,desperately trying to get the juice out ofit. I was going absolutely wild. This girl could probably suck a golf ball through 20 feet of garden hose! Finally, I could feel myself about to come. I didn't want to just yet, but her talented mouth on my wankie was not about to let me hold it back. I started fucking her mouth like it was her pussy and shot my load into it. She was so happy that she made me come all over the inside of her mouth, that she started to moan real loud and greedily swallow and suck.
After I lubricated her mouth with my hot cream, she stood up and I grabbed her by the waist and, making her straddle the toilet seat and my legs, positioned her box right over my pole. When she was properly placed, I grabbed her ass cheeks and pulled them towards me to wrap that cunt of hers right around my dick! She began grinding and moaning and I grabbed her hips and grinded her faster. I was so hot for her, that I didn't care how fast we went, as long as we kept on fucking. Her pussy felt so good around my cock. It was so soft and satiny inside and it was rubbing on all the right places on me. She stuck her chest out and I started sucking on her tits again. It didn't take very long before she started howling and exploded into yet another orgasm. I was close behind her with my jet spray of sex juice! We slowed down and let the motion of the bus control our movements while we relaxed. Then I kissed her deeply and said, "It's not over yet Tiffany, it's time for the grand finale. Stand up."
As she stood up, I leaned forward and started eating her snatch for about 30 seconds just to get her going again. Then I stood up, turned her around and had her put her hands on the toilet seat. I rubbed her ass first with my hand, then with my cock. After a few minutes of this, I stuck it in her pussy. Then after a minute, I put one hand on her clit, and one hand on her tit. She grabbed her other tit and started screaming and slapping her ass against my thighs. She couldn't control herself. I asked her if she liked being fucked that way. She could only respond "Oooooooooooooh yeeeeeeeeeeeah!" The sexual pleasure from my fucking her, rubbing her clit, and having both her tits played with at the same time, made her start to cum continuously. I could also feel my hot giz begin to boil. I knew I was gonna cum any minute. It was gonna be the best orgasm yet. I wanted hers to be too. So as I could feel myself start to cum, I started fucking her faster, rubbing her clit harder, and kneading her tit more forcefully. She did her tit more forcefully too. Well, this did exactly what I wanted it to do. In fact, we both exploded into such an orgasm, that it left us shouting at the top of our lungs for at least a minute. That may not seem like a long time, but when you're doing it, it does. We were screaming so loud that I'm sure the entire bus could hear us, but neither of us cared.
When we finished, we did some "afterplay" to gradually bring us down from that "high" we were on from all that wondrous copulation. We got dressed, opened the door to the bathroom, and walked back to our seats. As we were walking back, a guy looked up and me, smiled, and gave me the old "thumbs up" routine. Obviously, he heard us.
The bus pulled in to Buffalo. We got off the bus and got our luggage and went inside the bus station. As we waited for our rides to pick us up, we exchanged addresses and phone numbers. She asked me if I wanted to get together sometime soon. I said, "You bet! I've got an in-ground pool and my parents are going out of town next month." She smiled and licked her lips. My ride arrived and we said goodbye.
It would be 100x more productive to merge GNOME with KDE. There are a lot of positives on both sides, and it's a complete waste of effort to keep going at two seperate projects.
The entire nonexistent 'war' is just made up by some trolling losers who have nothing better to do!
When one of the desktops come with good news, the trolls get all upset about it and spread FUD.
Well, let's face the reality: the war does not exist!
Sorry, but that's the way it is, so live with it, 'cause trolling is completely useless.
Nobody will listen to you, no matter how hard to try.
Well, this is a developer link, not for people who don't enjoy building it themselves, but here are some nice screenshots.

Until GNOME gets good support for universal cut and paste, a good web browser and office suite, and decent stability, I'll stick with WinXP.
Let's compare:
GNOME:
bad/non-existent copy/paste support
no useable web browsers
crashes every time you turn around
cost: $0, unless you want support and documentation
WinXP
universal copy/paste
the industry standard web browser
stability: I haven't had to reboot since I first installed XP; this is definitely the best Windows yet
the most widely used Office suite in the world
cost: $0, with full documentation and 1 year of support (taking 5 finger discount into account)
Slashdot: Open Source, Closed Minds.
q: why do niggers have red eyes after fucking?
a: mace!
q: What did the nigger boy get for christmas?
a: My bike!
Font anti-aliasing is probably one of the major reasons that KDE is so slow for you. Try turning it off and compare again.
News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters? Like hell.
... progressing like this. This just goes to show what can be done. Excellent job, men and women! Keep up the great work over at the GNOME project! My humble thanks.
GNOME 2.0 is even less ready for the desktop than previous versions. This version doesn't even run key applications, like AbiWord and StarOffice, properly. How can Joe Sixpack use a computer if the word processor doesn't work? This is why WinXP is flying off store shelves, while Linux is confined to the bargain bin, and the server rooms of corporations too crap to afford the industry-leading Windows XP server(tm).
et's compare again:
GNOME:
more than enough cut/paste support (select & click on middle button)
Galeon web browser: THE BEST browser ever (ad blocking, tabbed browsing, highly customizeable)
never crashes
cost: $0, including support (mail, irc) & documentation (ever clicked on the Help icon?)
WinXP
nonexistent/bad copy/paste
the ignorant FrontPage users' standard web browser
stability: crash at startup
the most widely used Office suite in the world
cost: $0, with full documentation and 1 year of support (YEAH RIGHT!!!!)
Why is gnome still around? Everyone knows the best gui for linux is KDE. If people really want linux to move forward, they should support KDE. Linux desperately needs a standardized desktop. Pointless competition is only holding linux back.
The Slashdot Effect: A new for
I gave my friend a good-bye hug and got on the bus and sat down. It began to fill up quickly and the only seat left was the one next to me. A deep, sexy, female voice asked me if the seat was taken. I looked up, and there was the girl I saw while checking my luggage! I silently cleared my throat and, in my radio voice said "No, have a seat." She smiled and said "Thanks, I will." She had only 1 bag with her and as she reached to put it in the baggage compart- ment above our heads, her skirt raised so far up that I could see the bottom of her delicious pussy. She wasn't even wearing panties! My teeth almost dropped onto the floor. She put the bag up there and sat down. She introduced herself, "Hi, I'm Tiffany. What's your name?" I smiled and said, "I'm (I had to think) Tom. Are you from Ithaca?" "No, I'm from Buffalo, you?" was her reply. I was amazed that she was from Buffalo. That meant that she would be sitting with me the entire 4 hour ride there. I told her of my place of origin and she made a comment on the coincidence.
The bus got ready to leave. The driver closed the door, made the usual pre-departure announcements, and we were off. As we left the station, the driver turned on the air conditioning. It took a few minutes to get back to where were sitting but when it did, I started to get cold. Tiffany did also. I could see the goose bumps forming on her perfectly shaped, tan thighs. After a while it got a little too cold for comfort. She asked me, "Are you cold?" To which I responded, "kind of." She said, "I've got an idea" and with that, got up and reached into her bag (again revealing her sumptuous snatch) and got out a somewhat large blanket. She said, "Do you wanna share this blanket?" It didn't sound like anything promising, but I replied in the affirmative. She draped the blanket over our legs and we rode on. I was a little disappointed because I now could no longer get a glimpse of those incredible legs of hers. But there was a plus to all this. She wouldn't be able to see my hard-on. She also brought down a magazine with the blanket which she promptly started reading. Realizing that she didn't want to talk any longer, I put on the headphones to the walkman that sat in my lap. When the tape was over, I took it out and wanted to get another one. I glanced over at Tiffany. She was asleep with the magazine in he lap. Anyway, I reached under the blanket to get my next tape from my back pack and inadvertently ran my hand down the side of her leg. Her skin was so smooth and the perfume she was wearing was making me horny. As I rummaged through my back pack for the tape I wanted, I felt her leg move up against my arm. I then put the tape in my right hand and ran my left hand back up her leg. She seemed to like it because she moved her leg up and down until I did it again. I moved my hand in a sort of circular motion on her knee and then moved up to her thigh. I stayed on the outside at first, then I moved to the front of it. I stayed there for awhile and then I began to feel adventurous. I casually moved my hand towards the inner part of her thigh about at the knee. I massaged that area 2 or three times and moved back a bit farther. I repeated this pattern until I was at about the middle of her thigh. I was getting very horny and my cock was extremely hard. Her legs were not completely together, but not far enough apart that I could try to massage her pussy. I decided to "test the water" and I moved my hand farther back until I was almost at the junction of her legs. She then rectified the situation of the lack of space between her legs by spreading them and slouching down in the seat. I couldn't believe it. I moved my hand to her pussy. It was very warm. I gently ran my hand around the surface of it to sort of tease her a bit. She started rocking her hips a little which was a definite sign that she wanted more. I began to put some more pressure on her pussy and it was clear she was aroused because I could feel her wetness. I moved up and down her outer lips and up to her clit. I started playing with her clit lightly at first, then increasing my speed and force. She started to breathe more heavily now and she was moving her hips against my hand. By this time I was hard as a rock and I moved my hand down from her clit and put my finger inside her hole. She loved that, especially when I put 2 fingers in there! She began to moan softly and she moved her hand to reach under my shorts and grab my rock-hard cock! I then turned my hand so that I could finger-fuck her and massage her swollen clit at the same time. She moved her pussy back and forth faster now to move with my rhythm. She grabbed me harder and started jerking me off. Finally, things got real hot, I turned to her and said, "Don't you think we should go somewhere more private so we can do all kinds of NASTY things to each other?" As I said this I moved my hand even harder and faster. She could only nod yes and moan in response.
I slowed down, then stopped. We got up and left the blanket, walkman, and magazine on the seats and headed for the bathroom. On the way back, I started to wonder if anyone would hear us. However, I remembered that the engine was back there also, so that probably wouldn't be a problem. We got in there and locked the door. I sat her up on the sink and we started kissing deeply. I started massaging her thighs with both hands this time and she began to moan in excitement. I whipped out my member (which by this time was hard enough to cut diamonds!) and moved it towards her. She then said, "No. Wait. I want you to fuck me but first I want you to eat me. I wanna have my first orgasm in your mouth!" I then proceeded to remove her top and her big, beau- tiful tits popped out. She wasn't even wearing a bra (like that was a big surprise). I stopped thinking about the issue of her dressing style and set to my task. I moved her hips forward onto the sink and got on my knees. I put my mouth up to her inviting tuna taco and blew on it. She liked that alot. I did that for a minute or so. Then I started licking the insides of her thighs and stopped right before I got to the intended target. I did this a few times and it drove her absolutely nuts! I finally started licking her cunt itself. She was one of those women who doesn't even have an odor except for the baby powder that she must have used when she showered. So, upon discovering that she had no alarming scent, I dove right in there. The sudden change from almost no licking to what I was doing now made her twitch and moan loudly. I flicked her clit with my tongue and stopped occasionally to catch my breath. I then took her clit into my mouth and sucked on it. I could tell by her hips bucking that she was gonna come! I didn't want her to just yet. So I turned my atten- tion to her hole! I put my tongue in there and moved my head back and forth so that I could literally fuck her with my tongue. When I felt that now familiar bucking of her hips and her grabbing of her tits and screaming, I stopped. I faked that I was out of breath so that I could get my hand in position. After seeing that she had calmed down, I took my middle finger and stuck it in her hole and started sucking on her clit at the same time using my teeth. I did it hard and fast. She started screaming again and she was gonna come! I thought of stopping again, but I was so horny for this girl that I wanted her to spill her female juices of love all over my face. And that's exactly what she did! I licked and swallowed until I got every last drop. After I got to my feet and started massaging her tits, she grabbed my cock and said, "FUCK ME!"
Boy, what a neat idea. Why didn't I think of that? I told her that since she was holding on to my rod, she could put it in. I grabbed her by the waist and, as soon as my cock was in position, thrusted up inside her. The combination of the action while we were in our seats, the recent adventure of the tongue, and the anticipation of fucking her brains out was almost too much for me. I moved back and forth at a good speed which made her squirm and scream with ectasy! She leaned back and grabbed onto these 2 handles next to the mirror. When she did this, I bent over and, while fucking her, started sucking on her jugs. She was wet, wild, and willing! Speaking of wetness, I could feel my hot cream welling up getting ready to explode. I didn't want to come yet. I wanted to save it for the very last wave of sex. However, she didn't want to save it, she started gyrating and almost hollering! I could feel her orgasm come out in one large tidal wave. The warmth of her juices surrounded my red- hot meat slab. I slowed down a little to allow her to calm down. She looked at me and licked her lips. She said, "OK stud, your turn, sit down!"
I climbed out of my shorts and sat down on the toilet. Then, she stepped out of her skirt and knelt down in front of me. My cock was standing straight up. She took it in her left hand and started massaging my nuts with her right hand. As she did this, she started licking the length of my cock and darting her tongue back and forth on the head. It was driving me absolutely crazy! Then she took it all in her mouth with one swift movement. She started sucking on it like it was a straw,desperately trying to get the juice out ofit. I was going absolutely wild. This girl could probably suck a golf ball through 20 feet of garden hose! Finally, I could feel myself about to come. I didn't want to just yet, but her talented mouth on my wankie was not about to let me hold it back. I started fucking her mouth like it was her pussy and shot my load into it. She was so happy that she made me come all over the inside of her mouth, that she started to moan real loud and greedily swallow and suck.
After I lubricated her mouth with my hot cream, she stood up and I grabbed her by the waist and, making her straddle the toilet seat and my legs, positioned her box right over my pole. When she was properly placed, I grabbed her ass cheeks and pulled them towards me to wrap that cunt of hers right around my dick! She began grinding and moaning and I grabbed her hips and grinded her faster. I was so hot for her, that I didn't care how fast we went, as long as we kept on fucking.

Notice how the planned GNOME releases are closer together than the KDE releases. Is there any indication when GNOME 2.1 will be out? KDE usually takes 4/5 months between releases, so I expect KDE 3.1 in July, with a 3.1.1 bugfix release in August and of course a 3.0.1 bugfix release at the end of March of begin of April.
GNOME did not have as many recent releases as KDE has with the 2.x series (GNOME underwent the same large overhaul as KDE did during the transition to KDE2), so what kind of a release schedulet can we expect of GNOME after 2.0?
This is mostly an issue with XFree. The noticable improvements between 4.0 and 4.1 should give hope for even better results in the future. I've heard from XFree86 CVS users that there are indeed many more improvements in several areas. Looking forward to XFree 4.2, or the next 4.1.
Finally! With this, I think all the Linux GUI's will be better off. Wow, I remember when GUI ment small boxes that had no shadowing, and such. But what ever did happen to those many old desktops we used before?
It doesn't come.
performance of gnome 1.4 (?) sucked, I endee up using kde, falling back to gonme apps under it too often. I believe botb destktop environments are quite ready for prime time, feature-wise. But both suck in terms of performace, windows 2k runs waaaay faster. SO I guess they would something about speed in gnome 2.0, and that something shouldn't be 10%-20%. KDe is already lost, 3.0 alpha is out and beta is near. Gnome 2.0 is our only hope. (help me obi van...[well, I'm as drunk as I could be, bear with me will you?])
Gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is the War Room!
Is there any fix for the Nautilus problems on RH 7.2? If I turn Nautilus off the icons and right-click menu go with it.
Those that are, are likely to get implemented by the other system, perhaps even more cleanly. Both environments, for instance, seem to have burgeoning efforts surrounding the IETF calendaring and address standards; they may even become interoperable by virtue of there being IETF standards :-).
Those ideas that turn out to be horrid can be learned from and avoided.
After all, it's not as if throwing all the people onto one project would necessarily lead to higher productivity. Double the team sizes, and communications costs diminish productivity :-(.
There are doubtless some jibes back and forth, here and there, but if they were spending 80% of their time flaming one another, they wouldn't get much code written...
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
.. I put up my own list of GNOME 2 screenshots here.
I like it, but it has seemed to slow down a bit. Also, looks much more windows-ish XIMIAN Gnome did.
If you compile in the (illegal because of apple's patents) antialiasing renderer into libfreetype2, antialiasing looks 100% better.
Maybe that has something to do with it?
We do not live in the 21st century. We live in the 20 second century.

Too many choices, which is why MS has DROPPED uber security support for anything below exploder 5.5, so those that dont want the extra bloat/insecurity fearures are left in the lurch.
Besides, what will happen when Compaq is allowed to skin its own interface - choices.
Cuz it's not just a foot, it's a stylized letter "G", for GNOME.

Yeah, this has been my experience too. Turnng on AA sends memory usage through the roof and also slows down application start time. Go mad and stick 1,000 TT fonts on your system, and it takes between 30 secs and 1 min to start any apps at all. KDE has some serious problems to work out with anti-aliasing.
Btw, using TT fonts also makes a pigs-ear of "Print to PDF" (which uses ps2pdf) producing very ratty looking output. I imaging that Gnome users will run into this problem too, as that's a Ghostscript issue.
Question - has there been any progress made on bringing the respective component models of KDE and GNOME any closer together? It'd be nice to be able to embed a Bonobo component in a KParts document, perhaps itself embedded in a StarOffice or even Mozilla framework. How fundamentally different are KParts/DCOP, Bonobo/CORBA, StarOffice/UNO, Mozilla/XPCOM, Java/JavaBeans, Microsoft OLE/COM, (probably Xt belongs in this list too...), will there ever be any hope of unifying them a bit better ???
Choice of masters is not freedom.
GNOME 2.0 doesnt have the elegance of a real OO
framework, like GNUStep.
It would be nice if they should share things like themes and configuration options. I should be able to say i want my default window background color blue, and most windows should listen and do that. I shouldn't have to say i want my GTK+ windows blue, then say again i want my QT windows blue, then say again i want my xyzlib windows blue, etc.
More shared standards!
I love Kimmy!
Funny you should mention that, because I have had a similiar situation occur with me. My Dad, not a big PC user(just likes to take digital pics and play games) didnt realize that i repartitoned the pc and put mandrake on it. He saw reconfiguring it and to my surprise he was more excited of the operation and use compared to windows. Needless to say he wants to play with it once i show him the uses of it. Ill reply back once i see his unbias opinion.

I'd use gnome if one simple thing would get fixed. When you click on the titlebar of a window I think it should maximize. This shading business is silly. Shading windows in a GUI that lacks a minimize button/feature is a necessity, but in a proper GUI it doesn't really need to be there, let alone be the ONLY option available. At the very least users should be able to configure this behavior. I keep waiting and hoping that this will be corrected but so far nothing has happened. Until it does I'm sticking with KDE or IceWM sans gnome.
