2.Realize that KDE doesn't support C/Perl/[insert your favorite language here (besides C++)]" I can't do this since it does support Python so your statement is not true.
AFAIK... AFAIK!!!! Not supporting C is a big hit against QT.
1. RMS does more harm than good. He turns people away from Open Source with his ceaseless ranting. He makes all the rest of us look bad. Why doesn't he apologize to us, and to the KDE team for the disgraceful way he acted towards them? Simple answer, his ego will not let him.
Agreed. I was kidding about that. Perhaps that should have been left out.
2. KDE applications are programmable using any language that can access the necessary libraries. Instead of whining, why don't you do something about C++ being the only currently supported language? The source is freely available.
Besides lacking enough "5k1llZ" to undertake that, my understanding was that the QT object model did not lend itself well to non-OOP programming. I may be wrong.
3. GTK is awful. It may be cross-platform (to a limited extent) but it's a pig to code for. Yes, GIMP is stable on Windows, but that is a testament to the skills of the person porting the code. I'm sure that GTK did nothing but get in his way.
Agreed.
I can't respond to your freedom blatherings, as none of it made any sense at all.
QT is non-free on win32. therefore it sucks to port QT apps to win32. GTK is free on Win32. It may still suck but at least its free.
How can you say you respect the work of the KDE team when your entire post has been an indirect flame against them?
It was a flame against QT/TrollTech which is almost the same as KDE (ALMOST).
BSD has already been co-opted by the moron script kiddy masses just as Linux was in 1998. Now an expensive commercial UNIX is the way to show your geek plumage.....

Black in my 31337-Script-Kiddy Days of Yore, I made a rule of never even sending a _single_ packet to a box directly from a personal box or account. I would always bounce through a box where I knew I wouldn't be monitored, a wingate/telnet proxy (OVERSEAS), at least one public system, another proxy and finally through a cracked UNIX box (so I could use all my cool packet shaping utils). Doing Pen-testing is so much easier.:)

I saw that RMS didn't understand wahta a (game) "console" was. I think RMS (whom I think highly of) is out of touch with the average GNU_user/Software_developer/computer_user. The reality is, many of us are forced to use non-Free products and there do not exist Free alternatives. For example, how many of you are using OSS (blech! non-Free) sound drivers? Were you even aware of the existance of ALSA?
Perhaps he should stop writing LISP code using super-cuatomized Emacs in his ivory tower in Cambridge, MA and come out and meet people in LUGs and CS students. RMS seems to forget that my mom doesn't understand that many Linux users don't understand Free (libre) != free (gratis) and that I do not want to type "ctrl+meta+shift+bucky+option+f x".
I saw Henry Fuchs give a presentation on this at the University of Rochester, I was MILDLY impressed by this. However, I think one should note that the projecters employed by this system were not on the market yet and were priced in the amny of thousands of dollars each. Fuchs seemed to forget that not all of us have ~10,000 bucks to toss at a computing system to operate this.... nevermind the bandwidth to power this.

They Might Be Giants Behind The Music Episode Lacks Sex, Drugs
NEW YORK--The new They Might Be Giants episode of VH1's Behind The Music is devoid of sex and drugs, sources reported Monday. "Man, we haven't had that much trouble finding something juicy since the 'Weird Al' episode," VH1 senior vice-president Bill Flanagan said. "We can almost always hit paydirt with a band's groupies, but in They Might Be Giants' case, they're all 31-year-old computer programmers." The They Might Be Giants episode largely focused on keyboardist/accordionist John Linnell's harrowing early-'90s addiction to Tetris.
The only problem of TMBG for me is that they remind me of a stupid ex-girlfriend. does anyone get the NFS joke? I don't. Oh yeah... get the full version of TMBG - Boss of me off of napster -- it rules!
This summer I worked at a.com and got stock. This is good considereing I'm making a lot on it. However I did consider moving to California to take a tech job. I decided against it. College is good. Girls and parties are fun. Working in a (nearly) all male office over the summer gave me a new appreciation for the other sex. But i made the decision because I LIKE LEARNING ABOUT PROGRMAMING. Sure I'm a decent programmer right now but there's no way I could... say... impliment an operating system with TCP/IP from scratch right now. Also, I'm interested in grad school. I think that if I can come up with an interesting idea in grad school I can make my.com million$ rather than my current.com thousand$.

i think rob is the only gore fan.
A sequel to Stellar 7?????? RULE!
I guess this means I have to take to drinks for responding to a troll of a troll... :)
An insightful reply! Thank you my good sir!
What I was attmepting to do was provide my perspective on QT/KDE. If I'm not allowed to post MY OPINION on why something sucks, then /. is pointless.
isn't the point of slashdot to bitch and moan?
In my post
if you could have the mp3 placed in an idrive for you or something. that would be a viable mp3 biz model.

XFCE is ok
that's my _opinion_
XFCE looks like ass.
Use WindowMaker or bb.
