GORM 1.0 Release to Take on GNOME/KDE?
qa'lth writes "Today marks the occasion of the release of Gorm 1.0, the Interface Builder for the GNUstep project, and with its release, comes the obsolesence of the GNOME and KDE projects. Finally, today, Free Software users can enjoy the power of a well-designed, powerful object-oriented system derived from OpenStep, legacy to the acclaimed MacOSX, through GNUstep, our loving reimplementation of the OpenStep standard."

Nothing like a little optimism, eh? Quick question, what are you smoking and who's your dealer? I gotta get some of that stuff...

Maybe GORM will make GNOME and KDE obsolete, but first their server will have to withstand a righteous Slashdotting!
Phoenix, Boston, Little Rock, see a pattern?
Before hyping up your toolkit and predicting the death of all other OSS desktops, it's generally best to make sure your toolkit doesn't look like crap in all the screenshots.
From what I see, it looks every bit as eye-pleasing as OS/2!

According to this insider's blog, Microsoft has stole Gorm, among other software.

GORM also obsoletes XTerm, Vista, Web 2.0, the Automobile and the Universe in general.

with its release, comes the obsolesence of the GNOME and KDE projects.
I was about to call that a gormless prediction, but then I realised that that was the whole point... -.-
Don't take the above poster too seriously. He doesn't.
Since when free software software begins its releases with 1.0??!

The VIM development team just announced that emacs is obsolete.

Does that mean you tinker around with thinking?
I, for one, welcome our new flamebaiting overlords.
An all too common mistake, Mr. Wiggum. The word you're thinking of is 'gort', the tasty, yet completely moistureless mix of nuts, rasins, and small freeze-dried squirrels. The term 'gorm' is actually the species name of a Star Trek lizard (Capt. Kirk owns a pair of gorm skin boots).
But don't worry, the 'gor' words are often confusing. For example, many people forget that 'gorp' is the name of an alien robotic policeman who destroyed life as we know it in the classic SciFi movie It's a Wonderful Day to Stand Still on the Earth. And the word 'gork' (meaning "I knew that") was coined by writer Robert "Bob" Heinlein for his novel Strange Sex in a Strange Novel. There are hundreds of other 'gor' words (well, 26 max), but I don't have time to cover them all!
Hope this little chat has cleared up your lexographic apostrophe. I know it's helped mine.

Few North Americans will get the joke. And the name of this project is further proof that they're mostly gormless about internationalization.

just a little more attention to your spellering and your grammarishness and you'll have the complete package.

Ugh. The "mortar" on that icon makes it look as if Peter North mistook it for one of his co-stars.
