GORM 1.0 Release to Take on GNOME/KDE?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the uphill-battles dept.

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."

    and with its release, comes the obsolesence of the GNOME and KDE projects.

    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!

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

    > I thought gorm was that damn granola stuff that my parents always made me eat on a hike.

    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.
