  2. KDE IS DYING by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered KDE community when, recently, Novell bought the only Linux distribution to support KDE fully. Coming on the heels of the discovery that the hated SCO own a large part of TrollTech (controllers of the KDE project), this news reinforces what we've known all along: The KDE project is a squalid house of cards. The triple licensed Qt toolkit is a legal quagmire, and a minefield for commercial software developers, and now KDE's final commercial supporter, SuSE, is dropping it. The end is certain.

    You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict KDE's future. The hand-writing is on the wall: KDE faces a bleak future. Things are looking very bad for KDE -- already Novell is training up its developers to work on GTK/GNOME and GNOME applications... not KDE. The only future for KDE is a few noisy and unpleasant zealots huddled around the dying embers of their codebase. They desperately try to convince themselves that it's not the end; that their dreams for world domination are still possible -- while occasionally howling in misery and frustration at more successful projects. A situation all too familar to those aquainted with the last days of the BSD projects.

    Yes it's true, Charles Windsor, Prince of Wales, did, with the butler but unfortunately not on /. I guess that makes him a confirmed Mac user.

    What the -fuck- is up with "Avenue A, Inc." on Slashdot? Can we spell -hypocrisy- or what?

    Keep an eye out for endless special editions and reworks until the day you die, conveniently spaced out and with enough extra materials to keep you coming back every time.

    I'm probably the only geek alive who hasn't seen a single Star Wars movie. Same reason I won't do drugs, I might get hooked. That, and I think Star * sucks.
