    from the tang-makes-me-ill (how annoying that must be for us, & the folks over at tang.com?) dept.

    morons write "What do you think babies aboard the ?other? side of the planet had for Thanksgiving? Roasted turkey? Wrong answer. In "less fortunate" areas, the pateNTdead eyecon0meter tells us, they had little of nothing, and gives details about space in their little bodies, where food ought to be. If the dining view, 200 miles of rough road, is unattractive, preparing 'meals' is even more so. For example, there is no food, so the babies must remain hungry for long periods at +- room temperature. And you need to avoid thinking about this scenario. The real 'stuff that matters' overview contains additional references, and includes directions by the creators, for their/yOUR newclear power, & planet/population rescue initiatives/mandates.

    ( Read More... | that makes sense )

    consult with/trust in yOUR creators... the lights are coming up now in order to assist in the avoidance of overheating the main processor, &, facilitation of the aforementioned ncp/ppr programs/mandates.

    for each of the creators' innocents harmed, there is a badtoll that must/will be repaid by you/US, as the execrabilious corepirate nazi perpetraitors of the life0cide against the creators innocents, will not be available to make reparations.

    see you there? tell 'em robbIE?

    Are you :
    • Sick of using gconf-editor?
    • Sick of using patches to get features back?
    • Sick of having buggy crippleware down your throat?


    Then join me, and THOUSANDS of others against the HIG. Do you want USABLE APPLICATIONS, WITH FEATURES WHILE PROVIDING IT ALL FROM THE GUI?.

    That is why I am going to fork gnome. I have forked the code base from 2.4.1, and I am now working on adding patches and bug fixes to it to make it USABLE. It will be released soon, and will be called GIU, meaning GIU is usable.

    Check out http://giu.sourceforge.net/, and help in the Jihad against the HIG, which is ruining so many applications, and forking up the community. See Sodipodi for example, the premiere of vector image editors for linux. Now someone has forked into inkscape, who decided to fuck up the the GUI and turn it into a cheap Illi$trat0r clone, this is your HIG, please fight it.

  8. GNOME HAS SERIOUS PROBLEMS. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Note : I am reposting this. Some moderator modded me down without explaining why. I have some serious problems with gnome, so please, repsond to the problems. Ever since Gnome 2.4 was released, I have found more and more gnome zealots
    who MUST absolutely advocate GNOME at every possible moment. Here is a guide
    to some of their claims, and what they really mean.

    Unlike KDE, Gnome is free
    Translation : GPL is freerer than LGPL. LGPL allows corporations like Novell
    and Sun to have propeitry forks and lock away their changes from the user. Now
    that Novell has taken over Ximian you can expect Gnome to get put under
    corpirate lock. With KDE you have the choice, you either PAY UP or pay with
    your source code.

    Nautilus is much better than konqueror.
    Wrong, if your using nautilus for anything more than a simple finder clone you
    can forget it. No split screen, no ioslaves and forget about being able to
    have a decent file dialog, not to forget that it is as unstable as hell and is
    STILL slow on >3 Ghz machines.

    Gnome is easier to use
    Yep, nothing like using gconf-editor to edit all except the most trivial of
    settings. Want tear off menus? Want a useable file dialog? You won't find it
    here.

    Gnome has eye candy
    Yes, my pirated Win32 fonts with the patent infringing font renderer. Bit
    stream vera sans looks like Tahoma put through a shreadder! Of course I still
    reboot into windows to print using "Comic Sans MS.

    Gnome has a new web browser
    Yawb! Along with Galeon, mozilla, thunderbird, konqueror, atlantis, lynx,
    netscape and w3m. Yes I need another browser! Not to mention that its got a
    religiously offensive name and it dosen't allow bookmark folders. It also
    crashes like a crazy! Apple chose khtml for a REASON! its stable and light!

    For newbies, Gnome is the ideal choice
    Despite the fact that the only mainstream Gnome based distro has been EOL'd,
    and all the newbie distros such as Mangadrake, Lindoze, $u$E, Lycoris,
    Xandroze, Gentoo use kde default, the Local unix geek showed me Debian, which
    installed Gnome 1.4 by default, so it must be good if he uses it.

    You KDE guys must be sick of the K
    Our G's and monkeys are SO MUCH better, gedit, glib, gconf, bobono, ghex,
    gless, same-gnome.

    Gnome is themeable
    Yep, choose from High, low and medium contrast, default, and clean ice. Wan't
    to change the colour scheme? USE GCONF NOOB, plus if you complain about it we
    will tell you to fuck off and go back to Windows or KDE.

    Gnome has multimedia framework
    Its a kludge of esd combined with broken xine libraries. No wonder it crashes
    all the time and dosen't work on 95% of video files

    My Gnome work station
    My 1.1Ghz Packard Bell box my mum bought for me from PC world, that is made of
    made to break components, but it has a GEFORCE RADEON 9000 card, so it must be
    good.On the other hand, no-one (well, nearly no-one) is suggesting that GTK+
    is a replacement for Qt...

    Gnome allows mac like operation.
    We have a shameless expose ripoff, with a cheezy name. Next thing you know we
    will scrap the panel for a cheezy dock clone. Despite the fact that x86
    compatible 1 button mice are almost impossible to find, and it dosen't copy
    the whole macbar concept. Our auto apply implementation is broken and
    dangerous, but you can always use gconf like a real geek.

    Gnome is GNU software.
    gnu/Yay, gnu/gnome gnu/for gnu/my gnu/debian gnu/linux gnu/500mhz /gnu/celeron
    gnu/packard gnu/bell gnu/box.
