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."
When are you people going to learn!! If there are no screenshots THEN IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!
GODDAMNN!
I mean you've finally managed to replace the similarily outdated GNOME logo so get your ass in gear.
Don't think of it as a flame---it's more like an argument that does 3d6 fire damage
That's great, but why do you have to be such a condescending fuck about it? Why is it so fucking important to you that everyone agree with your choice of desktop environment? Are you really that insecure in your own opinion that you need to verbally attack anyone who dares oppose it?
Get the fuck over yourself. Different DEs work for different people. That's the whole beauty of open source. Choice! I myself use Gnome because I does everything I need it to do with a minimum of fuss, but you don't see me banging on about how excellent my choice is and how anyone preferring something different is an ignorant fool. Why should it matter to me what other people use?
Just use whatever DE makes you happy, but shut the fuck up about it already!
Don't want to disrespect the effort you put into creating that but does anyone have one based on a distro by a vendor that doesn't suck Ballmers weenie?
Why don't you investigate your site and let us know?
Why ask us and then give that webaddress?
Too lazy to go there yourself?
All that because you don't like the release system KDE uses? WTF?
Who cares if they call their beta releases banana's and their release candidates apples?
It's up to the distributions and the community to decide whether or not the release is good to include/deploy or not.
So what's the worst case scenario? You have to wait a few months until you get a 4.0.1? Few! If that's the biggest problem you have, count yourself lucky.
How about you starting to have some respect for the developers and all the people that put hard work into this release?
How about you showing some understanding for the fact that only a tiny fraction of their intended target audience is going to install a beta or RC and that it's practically impossible for them to test each and every possible situation without your help.
Shees!

P.S. With or without disclaimers, shooting half-truths and BS around in the dark, you're still a troll. If you have a problem, file a fracking bug report.

Does anything run on Vista?
In Vista's new Explorer, I can search for those files in the same number of keystrokes: alt-d + tab + *.txt.0. No mouse movement required. Plus I can move backward and forward to cycle through previous-such searches without having to retype the search.
