GNOME 2 to Replace CDE As Solaris Default DE
Gentu writes "OSNews had a quick chat with John Fowler, Sun Software's CTO about Solaris 10, Java, the web services competition and more. In the interview, Fowler reveals the timing in which Gnome2 will become the default desktop environment: Solaris 10, which is expected to have its first beta later in 2003. This is a huge step for Gnome2 in the UNIX world, as it will be replacing CDE for good as the default desktop environment (betas of Gnome 2 for Solaris 8/9 already exist) and becoming a standard part of the large operating environment with millions of installations worldwide. Additionally, Sun is now pushing developers on coding on either GTK+ 2.x or Java (they have in fact revealed plans on creating GTK+ bindings for Java which will make all future Solaris apps look like alike)."
by the way, Mozilla 1.2.1 is out now, as of about ten minutes ago.
The beavers chew your nuts off with the help of the local authorities, eh!
I enjoy the word "drat", and wonder why it isn't used more often. I often say it at work. For example, say that my code segfaults. Rather than yelling something uncouth, I enjoy yelling "drat!" It's classy and yet expresses displeasure at the same time.
.. I feel positively filthy doing it in my OWN house, let alone a house of God. Separate facilities could be located outside, say, a minimum of 50 yards from the church. If Congress were to pass a law requiring the dismantling of all toilets in all churches across America, would it hold up in court?
Speaking of uncouth, am I the only one that does not believe that toilets belong in churches? I think it's pretty well established that human beings did NOT urinate or defecate before the fall from grace. Think about the act of lowering your trousers and voiding your bowels
Drat. I don't know.
It's only taken five years for me to fluke a legitimate "first post". *g*
I do not fail; I succeed at finding out what does not work.
I never liked KDE much.. Believe me, I've given it enough chances, but eventually I just stopped installing it on my systems due to lack of use. Gnome2 is a great GUI with all the flexibility I need without too much junk loading my systems down. KDE always seems to be slow, bulky, have that nice little integrated file browser/web browser (gag), and among other things, it sucks in general (well, don't take that the wrongs way, it's a well built program and I am not putting down the effort the put into it, it's just not for me). So, this step for gnome2 is a great thing (for me at least). And I am out of comments for now 'cause my mind went blank.

The end of Solaris,
The end of SUN,
and with GNOME the death of Linux!
This is an important information to all people. I must admit it's a long reading but it's a MUST READ! Belive me, spent some mins reading it!
I've recently seen a GAYPRON movie and I bet my tight wet ass that this guy was performer in that movie.
Musk didn't found paypal, his failure x.com (banking services, etc) absorbed it in 2000. It was the only saving grace for a company that plowed through millions of dollar of venture capital with little to show. Zip2 had quite a bit to do with his wealth, though. My friend went over to Musk's house to sit in his $1,000,000 Mclaren F1. Now that's a waste of $!
