KDE 4.1 Beta 2 – Two Steps Forward, One Step Back?

Posted by timothy on from the everyone's-a-critic dept.

jammag writes "Linux pundit Bruce Byfield takes a look at the latest KDE beta and finds it wanting: 'Very likely, KDE users will have to wait for another release or two beyond 4.1 before the new version of KDE matches the features of earlier ones, especially in customization.' He notes that the second beta is still prone to unexplained crashes, and goes so far as to say, 'Everyone agrees now that KDE 4.0 was a mistake.' I'm not too sure about that — really, 'everyone?'"

    Well, language doesn't parse logically; parsing is a syntactic operation. Logic occurs at the semantic level, and a string that has a valid parse doesn't have to yield a valid semantic interpretation. Such phenomena are quite common in natural language: to take a somewhat famous example, the sentence "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously," is syntactically valid though semantically aberrant.

    BTW, I say this because I'm in a good mood. Otherwise, I would simply laugh at you.

    Wrong. You say that because you are under the mistaken impression that what you have to say matters. Please, feel free to laugh at me.
