Enlightenment Lives

Anonymous Coward writes "The Enlightenment Project, far from dead, is pleased to announce the DR16.7.1 release of the Enlightenment Window Manager. With tons of fixes, a massive overhaul of the internals, and several new features this release is a must try for those who haven't run E in a long time. The window manager that redefined the way a desktop can look is still going strong."

    Rasterman has even given a glimpse of the power these libs will bring to the programmer with his own version of a DVD player, using the EFL, in just 17 lines of code!

    That's nothing. I'm sure a Perl hacker could do it in one line.

    That's it.

    Market research by drug pushers in the US discovered that 'Ecstacy' just wasn't catchy enough for users in the American market. After many focus groups were formed, it was decided to pro-actively radicalize the Ecstacy brand. In order to dynamically push the envelope of the established paradigm, it was decided to extreme-ify the Ecstacy brand by 73%.

    Thus, what Europe knows as Ecstacy or 'E' is called Xstacy or simply 'X'.

    Sadly, it means that by and large, the US missed out on the subtext of The Shamen's 1992 hit, "Ebeneezer Goode" -- "E's are good / E's are good / He's Ebeneezer Goode"

    ... this is so OT, I'm almost tempted to post anon. But what the hell. I bet there's not even enough people who remember The Shamen to mod me up....
