Plus the 1000+ posts that are going to come in this slashdot article from kde vs. gnome folks.
Does it support a 1-button mouse?
and i JUST finished recompiling it.
crap.
This is my opinion. Everyone has a right to my opinion.
1) Kongratulations!
2) All your GUI are belong to KDE!
3) I, for one, welcome our new K-based overlords!
4) In Soviet Russia, KDE releases YOU!
That ought to cover the major ones. Carry on with the inevitable GNOME/KDE/XFCE/X flamefest now.
I know linux naming conventions are pretty bad, but really, this takes the biscuit.
I am trolling
In three months, we'll have a story about how it runs on gentoo.
$item is cool. Thanks $item developers!
The National Weather Service has issued an alert for the entirety of the United States. An unusual buildup of heat is expected over the next few days related to a sudden and massive increase in processor usage of select personal computers across the country.
This alert is based off of previous temperature surges related to the release of the 'KDE' software package to users of the 'Gentoo' operating system. As another release of this package has just occurred, the National Weather Service is issuing this alert so relief organizations can be prepared. Special attention is to be paid to the south-western united states due to unseasonably high temperatures, and high concentrations of personal computer equipment.
An additional National Weather Service extreme temperature WARNING has been issued for the Silicon Valley region.

Shucks...still no Red Ryder BB gun. Maybe with the next release. Guess, I'll just keep play with my decoder ring and drink some Ovaltine.
KDE 3.4 weighs in at 6,500+ bug fixes,
Today, EDS released a report on the quality of open source software.
Citing over 6,000 known bugs in KDE 3.3 versus zero known bugs in Microsoft Windows, Senior EDS Industry Analyst Joe Isuzu said, "There is no question that open source software is of very poor quality and completely unreliable, the evidence is very clear for anyone to see. Microsoft Windows is head and shoulders above the free alternatives, downhill in a hurricane."
YOU'LL SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT!

"Jeez, people get modded down for stating valid opinions now?"
You must be new here...

Yes, now the Trash can has a Windows logo on it.
Exxccccelent. Soon, the final pieces for KDE Klippy will be complete and we will rule the KHelpCenter together! Just imagine it:

Look here zealots. You have your work cut out. Let the GNOME/KDE flames begin.
:P
Gnome and KDE both kick ass!
They are way better than the over-hyped OS X interface..

KDE is already at 3.4, but Gnome is only at 2.1!
You'll notice Florida's been reduced to a small stump as well. Same reason. Well, no earthquake this time, just the rising sea levels.
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
It's a good contraception method! Not as good as Slashdot, though, as anyone could verify. Still, in some places in this world dial-up lines are expensive, so one doesn't always have access to the very best...
I try to be an optimist too, but come on, let's get real here.
KDE 3.2 (with eyecandy turned off) ran as well at windows 98 on my girlfriends pentium-MMX 233 in slackware.
There goes your credibility.
Moon Phase Display?!?!?!?! Who in the hell needs a dynamic MOON PHASE display???

Well that to me means they fixed 6,500 bugs but added 1,700 new bugs, plus the potential for 80,000 more new bugs! Hope they aren't working backwards hehehe
Your ignorance is infinitely greater than you realize.
Are you kidding? It goes PERFECTLY with the "fuzzy" clock settings. Oh, sorry, according to my clock it's "evening". Time for me to go...
