    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)....

    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?

  5. 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!
