X.org Making Fast Progress

prisonernumber7 writes "X.org is showing a lot of progress! The combination of the XFixes extension, Damage extension, Composite extension and XEvIE (X Event Interception Extension) present in X11R6.8 present user interface designers with a wide range of here-to-fore difficult to achieve possibilities. What does this mean for the enduser? That's window shadows and window shadows within windows as well as true translucency for the OSS community. Good samples of Gnome and KDE desktops with drop shadows, and so on can be found here, here, here, here, here, translucency here, here and here, and its use on handhelds running Linux."

    who the hell has the balls to rip off **APPLE**'s icon set? Do these OSS monkeys not understand that for the first time in history, God will be on the sidelines taking notes on how to be "truly wrathful?"

    We take things seriously, and don't let users screw up their machine with 'cute'...

    They can have 'cute' at home, thus my prefacing this with from the 'administration viewpoint'..

    Thanks for your content free post, and the pathetic link to your non-content (and activity free) blog.

    Excuse me while I whip my dick out and piss on you, you Apple worshipping, corporate blogging fuck. You fucking loser.

    Why don't you keep your dribbling, vacuous non-fucking opinion to your lame ass self before I come over there and beat the sugar out of your drawers, you whining blogging twit. You fucking dork.

    Nevermind that Apple ripped of everything worthwhile they ever did, and it took them twenty years to come up with even a half assed OS for latte sipping ipod listening monkey boy jackasses such as yourself. No, don't even mention that. So why not just meander on over to your odious, worthless blog and post a few more pro republican items or some other stupid bullshit. You're wasting my time.

    Only on slashdot could a post start with "Idiot." and get modded +Insightful.
