KDE 3.2 Alpha 1 Finally on FTP
An anonymous reader cut-and-pastes from the announcement: "Stephan Kulow finally managed to get the last bits of the KDE 3.2 Alpha 1 codenamed 'Brokenboring' including KDevelop 3.0 Alpha 6 on the ftp server (the mirrors should soon pick it up). There won't be any binary packages for this release because the KDE 'P(a)i' release is coming out soon. Everyone using it is asked to compile it with --enable-debug, so we can get valuable feedback. There is a new unstable version of Konstruct to install it."
about time, my gentoo kde might work now
Both, all the boring parts are broken, and all the broken parts are boring.
It's trying to compete with XP for the desktop.
This is awsome, with a name like this how can it be anything other than... er... great, hmmm, what a name.
I try to download it the other day, but my KBrowser was having KTrouble downloading the KFiles from the KFtp.
Man, and 3.1.3 finally finsihed compiling on my 233-MMX just yesterday...
O-well...
I'm not a prophet or a stone-age man,
I'm just a mortal with potential of a super man.
Everyone who's going to post a lame joke based on the fact that many KDE apps start with "K", please post them under this thread.
Here, I'll start: "hey, didja ever notice how a lot of KDE apps start with 'K'?! What's the deal with that? Ha! Ha! Ha! Those KDE guys aren't very 'K-creative' Ha! Ha! Get it??" There, that's about the best one I've ever read, actually.

Yeah, good thing we do write decent well-documented code, huh?

KDE Developers Anonymous
Hello group, my name is Klark and I'm addikted to the letter K... As is the kase with many of you, I've always been krazy about komputers and like many of my fellow komp sci students, I was looking forward to a suksessful kareer in the field of information and kommunikation teknology... but my troubles started when I diskovered open source software and the wonderful kommunity around it and got kwite seriously into KDE development... At first I didn't komprehend the effekt this would kome to have on my life as a koder - it wasn't really konspikuous initially when I started to spell more and more kommon words with a k, sometimes even with a kapital K... But then my kolleagues began to wonder why I kouldn't spell korrektly. They asked me, "Are you on krack? Kut the krap!"... some even went as far as kalling me kompletely krazy! What kould I do? I must admit, I'm a kolerik person, even kwick-tempered you might say... okkasionally I would get inkredibly angry and kuss and kurse at my ko-workers... People should judge me by the kontent of my karakter instead of just kriticizing what they konsider kurious spelling! Other times, I would just retreat into a korner and kry kwietly by myself... However, it wasn't until they kicked me out of my kalligraphy kourse at kommunity kollege and I lost my job on akkount of my unkooperative konduct that I finally realized I had to kome to terms with my problem... so here I am, this is my koming-out... I know my kase is a komplex one, but I do hope it is kurable...
I don't know how you manage to convince anyone of anything if you use the word o\/\/nZ0Rz in posts...
I suggest you take a compiler construction class, or at least read the dragon book or lcc book. compilers are based on solid mathematical principles. there is a learning curve, but if you know how and why compilers work, it's not nearly as hard to see how gcc works.
consider that a feature. Do you really want some 15 year old that just installed linux on his eMachines to submit gcc patches? (look at gnome!)
Well yeah, about the same time longhorn comes out you mean?
He tried to kill me with a forklift!
I'm impressed! What other techniques do you use to cope with your minute penis?
