SVG And The Free Desktop (s)

Posted by timothy on from the lines-and-rules dept.

unmadindu writes "Christian Schaller has written an interesting article on SVG's current and possible uses on the GNU/Linux desktop. Though the article concentrates mostly on GNOME, it does mention the excellent work the KDE developers have been doing with KSVG, and refers to the upcoming SVG support in Mozilla too."

  1. THINK ABOUT YOUR BREATHING ! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    Hello, and THINK ABOUT YOUR BREATHING

    Yes that's right, THINK ABOUT YOUR BREATHING. Why you might ask? Well it's simple!

    Your brain usually takes care of breathing FOR you, but whenever you remember this,
    YOU MUST MANUALLY BREATH! If you don't you will DIE.

    There are also MANY variations of this. For example, think about:

    1. BLINKING!


    1. SWALLOWING SALIVA!


    1. HOW YOUR FEET FEEL IN YOUR SOCKS!


    In conclusion, the THINK ABOUT YOUR BREATHING troll is simply unbeatable.
    These 4 words can be thrown randomly into article text trolls, into sigs, into anything, and once seen, WILL FORCE
    THE VICTIM TO TAKE CARE OF HIS BREATHING MANUALLY!     This goes far beyond the simple annoying or insulting trolls of yesteryear.

    In fact, by EVEN RESPONDING to this troll, you are proving that IT HAS CLAIMED ANOTHER VICTIM -- YOU!

    1) Make decent icons to begin with.
    2) Use a decent scaling algorithm that preserves quality.

    GNU/Linux desktop??? I thought GNU/Linux was the kernel? The ?n*x world is confusing, I have a couple boxen I want to try ?n*x on (especially with the latest Winblows virii), but once I thought I had handle on the terms, it gets all weird again. Isn't KDE the desktop, and GNU/Linux the kernel?
