Ars Technica: Deep Inside KDE 3.2

Posted by michael on from the plumbing-the-depths dept.

binner writes "Ars Technica features an article 'Deep inside the K Desktop Environment 3.2' written by Datschge and Henrique Pinto. After introducing KDE and the project's structure the authors present some new applications of KDE 3.2. After that they explain the key KDE technologies KParts, DCOP, KIO, Kiosk and KXMLGUI and give examples for code reusage and an overview of efforts to integrate non-KDE applications. For developers Umbrello, Cervisia and Valgrind with KCachegrind are introduced and of course KDevelop 3.0. An examination of licenses precedes the positive conclusion."

    Why do you begrudge someone who wants to support OSS but also wants to be able to make a living? Do you just dislike any company who wants to market a product and make money? Geez.

    Didn't you get the memo? We're supposed to be living in little communes where we each take turns pruning the banana bushes. I hear the next step is nudism (well, at least in summer) and I think I heard someone mention that we all get to gangbang the farmer's daughter tonight...

    Comdrade, are you listening?
