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."

    Wow. How to ensure it becomes instantly popular with Slashdot readers, since Slashdot readers are divided into Gnome and KDE people anyway. Nice one.

    Since you say so, I've already done a 'rm -rdf kde gnome' on my system. Afterall, the /. editors would never allow any biased, twisted, or marketing spin to disgrace their pure website.

    Today marks the release of YATA 999,999,999.1, Yet Another Troll Article, and with it comes the death of Slashdot. Finally, today, nerds can enjoy the power of Real Life when they step outside of their musky basements in droves to see what else the world has to offer.

    Even I could see the tongue in cheek from here.

    I thought that we on Slashdot are supposed to intellgent beings, not the kind of L33T D00DZ who have to have obvious humor put in <joke></joke> tags, with a liberal helping of :-) ;-) after everything and topped off with a LOL!!1!11!!

    But look like I'm wrong (joke, LOL!ll111!11, :-), rimshot, etc. Sigh.)

  12. why markets go in wrong directions by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It's telling that one of the things that gets people (even us geeks) most excited about their systems is the desktop. Isn't it more important how kernels work, filesystems, messaging, etc? Our cultures fascination with "neon cup holders" to the exclusion of "what's under the hood" is a testimony to the success of marketing but very anti-darwinian.

    I thought this was a Star Trek story at first look. I was hoping for a good spinoff series where the Gorn conquer the Federation.

    I dunno. Most times, humor is...um...funny.

    I don't really care if the original poster was going for funny. There's a little TLA for this situation, usually reserved for fr1st psot lusers: YFI.

    Besides the whole thing reeks of "haha only serious." A real case of Napoleon Chihuahua going on here.
