WhiteFoxBR writes ""The KDE Project is happy to announce a new major release of the award-winning K Desktop Environment. Many features have been added or refined, making KDE the most complete, stable and integrated free desktop environment available." Here a Visual Guide to new features, including build-in ad-block for Konqueror and support for MSN and Yahoo! webcams in Kopete. "
That sound you heard was the developer's Gears grinding away for this release.
I for one welcome our new stable desktop overlords :)
The Webcam support for Yahoo was what I was waiting for. I had to switch to windows to do this before.
Yeah, umm, X does come with a standard window manager, it is called TWM...
Congratulations KDE team!
;)
Now, knowing Gentoo this will be in the tree in the next 5 minutes. Woo, emerge is gonna be hot tonight, and tomorrow, and the day after, and probably some time after that too....
(Disclaimer: I use Gentoo, it doesn't actually take that long with kdeenablefinal flag on!)
Yes because KDE was designed with you and only you in mind. No one else prints...NEVER! How can the KDE people be so thoughtless as to include something as useless as a printer button.
:(
I hate KDE! Damn them for making useful stuff.

Finally, someone integrated time travel in a desktop environment. I can retire the DeLorean now.
It makes real cupcakes, with a 40 watt bulb, and there's icing packets....but the secret ingredient is love.
Arrggg, I've just finished the compile of KDE 3.4.3 on my gentoo system about an hour ago! And it's not a joke :-(
/begin joke

/end joke
Yea KDE 3.5 is out! All I have to do now is wait 6-9 months for it to be available in portage!
...what will 4.0 be? A stupendous release? An amazing release? A "Moses came down with KDE 4.0 on some tablets" release?
I'm not knocking them, but I thought there was an accepted custom to releases. If the number to the left of the decimal point changes it's a major release and if it doesn't it's a minor release. Kids today and their releases...I can't keep up.
"Why does it have to look like some terrible pudgy windows clone?"
So as not to scare off the pudgy Windows users.

Are there webcams out for Linux that actually support face-tracking?
There's the experimental one that requires some help to work right.
1. You must paint your face white so that it has enough contrast.
2. You need to put a red ball on your nose to give it something to track.
3. You need to highlight around your eyes and mouth, else all the other users will just see a red dot in the middle of a white screen.
Oh, and it's called "bozo-cam".
It is not "The Gimp"... It is "The GIMP" as in: GNU Image Manipulation Program.
Oh, hey, thanks for pointing that out, Bunky. A couple more correspondence courses and I predict an absolutely stellar career in Marketing is yours for the taking.
Oh, and it's called "bozo-cam".

Not KlownKam?

What is it that EVERY FUCKING product on Earth that is advertised on American media is Award-Winning?
Meaningless and Annoying.
With the 3.5 release KDE has added "KitchenSync". The original specs for this are highly technical. You may need to watch many hours of HGTV before attempting to use this application. At last, KDE is Komplete!

What fucking nob-end modded this as "insightful"... apparently, there are no bugs in KDE, only in X or the kernel (two projects that are just overflowing with talentless sloppy coders, after all). Or possibly it is hardware... after all, it was only tried on four different machines and three distros.
All hail KDE! The perfect project. Any problems are not our fault.
In this house it could well be webcam support for yahoo and msn one of the few things that has been preventing me from moving the remaining windows box over to linux. The Mrs. would kill me if she couldn't use her webcam.
