    Less than 9 replies, none really even vaguely on topic, and it's already slashdotted. Looks like everyone wants to RTFA before posting. I think the ./ community deserves a big pat on the back! Good job!

    Now, will you stop lurking and tell us something about the site, you bastards!?

  10. Desktop Slide Show by JuliusRV · · Score: 5, Funny

    The article basically starts off with the _really_ important stuff:

    "You can setup your desktop background as a slide show so that the background picture changes at predetermined intervals."

    Yes! This was the one missing feature I was waiting for! Finally, I can switch to KDE!

      Twin boys? Let me guess, the only reason this doesn't get annoying is because there are only two pictures and they look the same, so nothing actually changes?

      What's really funny is that the one guy corrected me with a line from The Princess Bride, one of the other three in the Triumvirate.

      There were three movies we'd watch endlessly as kids: The Three Amigos, The Princess Bride, and Willow. I could probably still do any one of those movies line for line. Labyrinth fit in occasionally, but even back then we knew there was just something wrong with David Bowie's pants.

    Gnome developers chose C because they didn't know how to program in C++ but were too egotistical to admit it. That is all.
