KDE 4 Promises Large Changes
HatofPig writes "As the dust settles from aKademy 2005, the annual KDE conference, it's a good time to take a look at what the KDE developers are working on. Though KDE 3.5 isn't even out yet, developers are already working on KDE 4. Plenty of work has already gone into porting existing code to Qt4, the GUI toolkit upon which KDE is based, and KDE developers are working on projects that could radically change how the world's most popular free desktop looks and works."
In other words, if you want to prevent Linux marketshare from dropping to below 1%, make it as unusable as possible.
I don't quite understand why this should work, but hey, I've got some great ideas on how to decrease the usability of Linux!
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.
The Gnome devs are working on KDE memory reduction?
... would load a Commodore 64 binary file named SIG from device 8, the first 1541 drive.
Completely non-portable, you insensitive clod. Still, those of us reading Slashdot from a C64 might be tempted to load and run your binary SIG, thus potentially spreading a virus.
At least you could do:
10 DOPEN#1,"SIG"
20 INPUT#1,S$
30 DCLOSE#1
40 PRINT S$
Just as non-portable, but would actually work and not cause a security nightmare from running untrusted binaries. We 64 users have enough trouble with CSS not to have security issues on top of everything else.
sigs, as if you care.
Yes. By running Gnome instead of KDE, the Gnome team has achieved the amazing result of reducing KDE memory consumption to 0. Quite amazing.
XML causes global warming.
