GNOME 2.10 Beta 1 Screenshot Demo

linuxbeta writes "GNOME 2.10 Beta 1 has just been released. There is a nice screenshot demo here. Also known as 2.9.90, GNOME 2.10 Beta 1 is the first pre-release intended for wide public scrutiny before the final release in March. It is packed full of tasty GNOME goodness. This release is a feature frozen snapshot primarily intended for wide public scrutiny before the final GNOME 2.10 release in March. Like the good old days of Linux kernel development, GNOME uses odd minor version numbers to indicate development status. Please check the 2.9 start page for more info. - gnomedesktop.org/node/2138"

  1. THINK ABOUT YOUR BREATHING - HEY TROLLS by ThinkAboutYourBreath · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    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!

    1. THAT ANNOYING SONG THAT GETS STUCK IN YOUR HEAD!


    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!

    i guess im in wikipedia so i hit it bigtime, hows troling been

    ECFA COMPLETES TAKEOVER OF GNAA

    The ECFA (Euthenasia for Canus Familourous Association) and the GNAA (G** N***** Association of America) are connecting into one ECFA. Stay connected. Both the ECFA (Euthenasia for Canus Familourous Association) and the GNAA share one common goal - A HAPPIER MANKIND! Members of the combined group, which will be called ECFA, will not be required to change their skin color or practice homosexuality as previously required to be members of an EVIL ORGANIZATION. The motto of the combined ECFA will be to protect our oxygen supply, to clean up our streets and sidewalks, and to curb noise pollution. The combined organization will be headed by the current leader of the ECFA and will be headquartered on EFNET. Employees of the GNAA will be able to apply for new jobs at the combined ECFA headquarters. We will be taking all existing GNAA content OFFLINE FOREVER on "ECF-day", when the two organizations will be merged into one. "We are expanding to target a much larger demographic, not just the homosexual and colored population," the CEO of ECFA's parent company was quoted as saying. While the GNAA trollers will continue, their message will be changed. The chatroom, movie, and illicit images will not be a part of the new organization, as it doesn't fit the new demographic.

    About GNAA:
    The GNAA has a vast membership of slashdot trollers who claim to have dark complexion and have a perverted sexual lifestyle. By harnessing the powers of the GNAA, the ECFA will be able to spread its message throughout slashdot much more effectively.

    Are you G**, Are you a N*****, Are you a G** N*****? If you answered "yes" or "no" to any of the above questions, the combined organization is for you!

    About ECFA:
    The ECFA would like you to do one thing - KILL A DOG. By KILLING A DOG, you will ELIMINATE one USELESSLY RESPIRATING animal from this planet. Are you TIRED of having your TAXES increased? Humane Societies cost our country over $100 million annually. By eliminating DOGS, this money can EDUCATE OUR KIDS. OVERPOPULATION of DOGS is RAPANT in this country. Take a stand! Help rid this INFESTATION. KILL A DOG TODAY!!!!

    Have you ever stepped in DOG DOO-DOO

    Are you MAD?

    Do you KILL DOGS?

    Are you a MAD DOG KILLER?

    If you answered "YES" to any of the above questions the ECFA (Euthenasia for Canus Familourous Association) is for you! Why change your sexual lifestyle or change your skin color to join an EVIL ORGANIZATION when you can simply INCREASE OUR SUPPLY OF O2! Did you know that DOGS turn BENEFICIAL O2 into CO2 simply to gain their energy to bark, drool, and howl? They LITERALLY BURN OUR OXYGEN SUPPLY!!! One dog can waste 2 moles of O2 PER HOUR! This country has MANY UNWANTED, ABANDONED DOGS that WE ARE PAYING MONEY TO KEEP ALIVE. We are FEEDING them our food supply while making the homeless STARVE! By using a Dog Killing Gadget, a dog can be turned into beneficial food, helping us all. We let children go hungry yet feed our **UNWANTED** dogs like royalty.

    Save Our Oxygen! One dog can easily use the entire oxygen output of ten full size trees. One dog can output over 20 lbs of droppings daily. One dog can aggrivate the allergies of untold numbers of people with its fast growing hair. Kill a dog today!

    Do you own a dog? Are you tired of its mess? Don't feel like planting ten trees and waiting 10 years for them to reach maturity? Then get it euthanized. Euthanasia is a painless way for a dog to... terminate. However, it can be too expensive to buy these drugs for the LARGE NUMBER of DOGS in the HUMANE SOCIETIES. It is thus proposed that these dogs be turned into food for the homeless.

    We are connected with the GNAA to form one organization, called ECFA!

      At least the GNAA press releases are written in proper English. Heck, they can even spell their own name.

      Oh yeah, they're funny too.
