      Ok, so I misunderstood you, and called you a dumb-ass, but dude, that was graphic! Couldn't you just have laughed at me for being a dumb-ass and left it at that?

    How on earth did you manage to cloak so many URLs to point to goatse? That's incredible! Still, I feel honor-bound to warn everyone away from your little trick.

    Gnomes are hard working little creatures. They are sworn enemies of the Troll race, and it their duty to kill all Trolls upon sight.

    Gnomes work hard, fast, and well. What they create not only shows pure power and eliteness, but also their artistic integrity.

    KDE on the other hand stands for K00l D3mon1c E133t. The KDE tribe are the "script-kiddies", the "hacks", in the Lunix Empire. They try to look good, and that is their only objective. While they do succeed on some fronts, they fail miserably on others.

    All in all, the KDE's are the George Bush's, wheras the Gnomes are the Alfred Hoffmans.

    That said, it's just a joke, both are truly kickass, but, IMHO, I prefer Gnome (although recently moving to Fluxbox)....

    Insightful? This was mod'd as insightful?

    Let me try!

    Hm. I like Fresca. I don't think I'll stop drinking water and just drink Fresca, though. I tried just drinking Fresca once, and I didn't like it. Water quenches my thirst better than Fresca. Maybe in a year or two I'll try again.

    enterprise porn. Sure with Linux you can view jpgs and even the occasional animated gif. But Linux's support for high-end AVIs and and quicktime codecs is sadly lacking.

  9. Gnome is fresh by Pierre · · Score: 3, Funny

    Everybody knows that software is like bread and Gnome 2.0 is BRAND new. So it's much fresher than KDE3.0.

    KDE3.0 has been out for months - surely it is getting stale by now!

    grab that amazing script from

    http://www.fh-wilhelmshaven.de/~akcaagaa/

    it builds you gnome 2.0.0 from tarballs

    1) grab that script
    2) change PREFIXDIR="" to point to a location you want to install gnome 2.0.0
    3) enter 'world' for CVS build or 'world stable' for gnome 2.0.0 released tarball build.
    4) grab popcorn, coke or get out for a fuck no matter what, lay back and enjoy the show.

    you dont need to manually download tarballs or something.. all automatically...
