KDE 4.1 Beta 2 – Two Steps Forward, One Step Back?
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?'"
You sound like some guy trying to prove that his blow up doll 'girlfriend' is just as good as a real woman...
What is your idea of a 'real woman'? My (blow up)girlfriend has:
1. Two arms
2. Two legs
3. A hole for a mouth
4. A hole...
Just like a real woman does...
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.
You showed up way too late to the party to be excused for not having read what I wrote carefully enough to actually understand what I was saying.
Try again.
The old kernel 2.4 had shred implemented in konqueror in KDE 3.1. This was very handy and allowed safe removal of many files..spam..employee records after they left, sales estimates, etc. With it gone, we had to go to windows to get a convenient shred program and put up with windows vulnerabilities. However, these vulnerabilities, onorous as they were, were nothing compared with the insecurity of having no shred function. No good substitute for shred, regrettably, is found anywhere in linux. The lame excuse for gutting linux by the so called kernel 'improvers' was that somehow 'magnetic media' was somehow flawed. The only thing flawed was the monopoly sock puppet saboteurs that used that specious claptrap to gut a necessary feature, shred, from linux, and somehow managed to suppress anyone from coming up with a replacement....and lied to cover it all up. Shame on you Linus! If we are stuck with old windows editions or SuSE 9.0, the last good linux, it is your fault!!
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.
