Project GoneME Fixes Perceived Gnome UI Errors
An anonymous reader writes "Project GoneME is the first attempt to try moving the GNOME Desktop into a new direction. The intention is to create a community of people, who are willing and interested to help fixing issues brought up by people for a very long time and make the vision of a usable Desktop in the means of good old Unix fashion become true. In case you are interested to help, please join the project. Plenty of people have shown interest and welcome this step and the IRC channel got filled up within a short time." Update: 07/26 02:33 GMT by T : A project mailing list has been set up for anyone interested in taking part in this endeavor.
I wish I had mod points to mod you down. Beginner/Expert mode do not exist on OS/X or Windows XP ? There is no reason for Linux to have them.
Do you really want to confuse your users even more ???
maybe doesn't have several thousand to toss at the problem?

Strong reply for a strong post.
Do you think Ford build a bespoke car for each and every different FCUKing driver???
Do you think Burger Kind hand prepare and cook a bespoke burger for every FCUKing customer???
Do you think . . . oh this is getting boring.
The whole FCUKing world revolves around the average person. Trust me - I'm 260lbs and 6 foot 6 inches in the buff. I KNOW how things get built and sold for Mr Average.
You can't complain just because you are different however. The GNOME team are tageting one very big area - not you, not me, not my Gran and not the bloke next door. They are targeting a huge number of users - and that means that the average rule has to come into play.
So pack your FCUKing bags you ass-hole. Go and FCUK off and use some obscure desktop environment. Better still - return your FCUKing computer to whoever you bought it from and return to pen and FCUKing paper because you can do whatever you FCUKing want with that.
Hold on - SHIT. Paper comes in STANDARD FCUKING SIZES. BOLLOX. Guess you're going to have to make your FCUKing own you immature little shit.
And as a footnote . . . 12 hours a day on a FCUKing computer??? You REALLY ought to get out, have some beers and get laid. It's usually someone from the opposite sex, but hell - choose bespoke sex if you really want to.
