Wrong. In a taste test among dogs, they prefered the taste of cat shit over dog shit by a ratio of 2:1.

So there you have it, I'm sticking with cat turds!

You really didn't have to do that. The KDE.org site is already taking a Slashdotting as it is.

Oh well. It sure is gorgeous. :)

> What this does is provides a KDE-based VNC viewing program

What does it do that vncviewer doesn't do?

> as well as a very Windows-XP like application to send an invitation to someone else using KDE or VNC to allow them to connect to your desktop.

What does this do that e-mail doesn't do?

Does this mean Duke Nukem Forever is out? Or can I have a snowball fight with Satan?

Really though, I have been using KDE 3.1 since beta2, watching it move through its different stages to what is is now has been a great joy. The new control panel is much more intuative, keramic is purdy, and all the little toots and whistles you will find will make it enjoyable. KDE is the main reason I don't go back to windows.

You know this K-naming thing has really gotten to the KDE folks when you read about the new game Atlantik: "Inspired by the famous boardwalk in Atlantik City, New Jersey...".

Wow. You sure have posted a lot in this thread, and they all seem to be modded way up. You come across as knowledgeable, polite, friendly, and sincere. All the qualities one could ever want in a geek. So, um...are you up for adoption?

Re:Is KDE trying to be Windows? by Thoguth · 2003-01-28 05:43 · Score: 4, Funny

I didn't notice it until reading your post, but it's all clear now! KDE isn't copying features from Windows, it's copying features from Emacs!
