KDE 4.0 RC 1 Released

angryfirelord writes "The KDE Community is happy to announce the immediate availability of the first release candidate for KDE 4.0. This release candidate marks that the majority of the components of KDE 4.0 are now approaching release quality. While the final bits of Plasma, the brand new desktop shell and panel in KDE 4, are falling into place, the KDE community decided to publish a first release candidate for the KDE 4.0 Desktop. Release Candidate 1 is the first preview of KDE 4.0 which is suitable for general use and discovering the improvements that have taken place all over the KDE codebase."

    You'll catch more flies with honey, man. There's a place for vinegar, and this isn't it.

    The outdated logo reflects Slashdot's history. If they changed the icons too often, it would be distracting and hurt continuity. You'll probably be modded down for trolling or baiting flames, and you deserve it.

    Unlike the GNOME logo?

    Once every six years should be possible without distracting everyone.

    What trolling? I called them lazy and that's about it. Since when is calling someone "lazy" on /. enough to be called a troll? If I'd called them sons of whores that ass-rape sheeps while devouring Linus' children for the greater glory of Adolf Hitler, it might have been borderline trolling. But lazy?!

    Even more importantly, dupes are a running gag on /. (although they seem to occur less frequently nowadays; the tagging system at work or nostalgia at work? =) and quite often you realize that not even the editor who posted a story bothered to click the links included. If that's not lazy I don't know what is.
