Adopt a KDE Geek

Posted by michael on from the only-32-cents-per-day dept.

sultanoslack writes "In an effort to bring together KDE hackers that are students, unemployed or by other means lacking in hardware and capital with users in that have spare goodies, Adopt-a-Geek has been launched. More details are available on how to help out. Been wondering what you can do to help out? Here's your chance!"

  1. Do I get a framed picture of my geek? by Harald+Paulsen · · Score: 5, Funny
    Do I get some pictures I can put in my wallet, and a certificate telling me where he lives, where he goes to school etc. Then I could flash his picture whenever people tell me how they have adopted some poor kid in the 3rd world.

    Aaaaw, look at that.. not-so-cute geek!

  3. And the developers' old hardware goes where? by Snover · · Score: 3, Funny

    I would certainly consider giving it a good home here. I'm not discriminate. You can give me an 8086 and I'll be happy. All that copper will be good to keep away the evil mind-controlling radio waves.

  5. I am active kde hacker who needs some equipment by Billly+Gates · · Score: 3, Funny
    I did a full "hello World" application using kdevelop with 2 full buttons for "print" and "Exit".

    I feel I need to upgrade to a better system to expand my programming knowledge and help society and Kde in general. I am in desperate need of newer hardware and software since my low end athlon +1800MP with a half a gig of ram just doesn't cut it. A sun workstation 2000 with 2 gigs of ram as well as the Enterpise edition of Forte for java, Borland Jbuilder Enterprise Edition, as well as the full version of Kylix is what will really help me for my quest to help man kind. To help me write great software for you a nice scalable server to help beta test my high end client/server apps would also rock.

    PS, I also wouldn't need oops I mean mind a dual XEON 3ghz with the Enterprise edition of Visual Studio.NET and Adobe Photoshop to port some of my great free software to Windows that I am sure I oops I mean none of you can live without. But I can live with just the 2 sun's.

    Thanks guys I appreciate your help in this since I can't afford any of these nice toys oops I mean tools. Will you please adopt me.

  6. Adopt a Geek by MissMoneypenny · · Score: 3, Funny

    mmmmmm I already did that; he's 26-years old and also known as 'boyfriend'. I must say, they don't cost much these geeks and they do come with extra features - though I don't know if that also goes for a KDE geek ;-)
