      I have great hopes that programs named klassroom or akademy will help our students learn how to spell everything wrong, instead of just nearly everything as they do already.

    KDE announced they were acquiring the rights to the Knoppix distribution. A source at KDE who wished to remain anonymous said, "For some reason, we just liked the name."

    Kudos to KDE for Kuality Komputing!!! Koding and Kompiling have never been Kuicker! Konsole kreates a kompelling kommand-line-interface.

    Such a kollection of kompatible kontraptions kan only be konceived by a konglomeration of kompassionate koders kontributing to a valiant kause.

    KDE is kosher as far as I'm koncerned.

    Probably because, based on my impressions of Gnome, a release of it is more properly called a "flatulent emission", and is not typically spoken of in polite company (or on slashdot).
