I think he means he wants apps ported. It obviously doesn't run KDE3 under the hood, or it wouldn't be KDE4, it'd be a very different version of KDE3.
However Amarok, K3B, Kontact and Konversation, among others, haven't been ported yet
Hey guys, I've just submitted a patent request for "Any device which uses electricity to perform calculations, render images or display useless news"... Get ready to pay you thieving bastards
Since when was general knowledge a good way to measure IQ? IQ is not a measure of how well you remember trivia, especially if you've never heard that trivia.
Oh by the way, I'm in the top 10% of slashdot users at remembering useless facts:P
One of the key points of FOSS from what I remember is that the users ARE the developers, that's incentive enough for them not to produce crap.
Of course MS programmers are users of Windows mostly, but I suppose when they're given deadlines and told exactly what to do by marketers who care more about looks and advertising than features they start to slip
I hope so, Firefox now works great in Wine, so I can run Firefox in Wine, on Linux, on Windows, and if I have that copy of windows running in a virtual machine on my MacBook I'll be a god.
Don't know who the hell modded you as troll, but if anyone reads this please note that parent was most likely being deadly serious, in fact up until 3.0-beta4 I always used Opera over Firefox on Linux.
To GP, in my experience Firefox3 is much more stable than FF2 on Linux, I'm using Kubuntu 8.l04 KDE4 edition.
Or when Microsoft and Apple crumble and are forced to insert backdoors (I say "forced", because as sceptical as I am, I don't WANT to believe that they'd do it willingly, even if it is the case)...
Problem is (for them, not us), after this, any commits made to Linux or BSD or anything that don't seem to add anything, make unnecessary use of network commands or seem in any way unsafe will be set upon by every tinfoil hat freak out there, same with new contributors, so they'll have a really hard time doing this.
"Given a large enough beta-tester and co-developer base, almost every problem will be characterized quickly and the fix will be obvious to someone."
First of all, this was Debian doing it and not releasing their patches upstream, that debatebly cancels out the large enough co-developer bases.
It also uses the word "Almost"... maybe you misread it as "Always"? otherwise there's NO way you could claim that it in any way implies something could "NEVER" happen.
Don't worry, pretty much all her money goes straight to the movie industry, pretty soon she won't have a choice but to sell herself off at the nearest street corner
To be honest Opennet seems much more fitting to their philosophy than Darknet, but for some reason or another they really want people to switch to Darknet. They even disabled the option to use Opennet in previous builds, until users complained.
Generally you have no reason not to use Opennet, unless you're really paranoid, or in a country that forbids Freenet by law.
but the open source part isn't the problem, the who is the problem, just like with anything else. I can understand blaming mozilla, or anti-virus, or, if you're an idiot, blaming the OSS model, but how the hell can you blame this on The Who?
You probably are, I'm pretty sure I've had trouble with files >4GB on my FAT32 drive... Maybe it's the way Linux handles it differently to Windows, but I assume that wouldn't matter.
So do I, I have the KDE desktop with Amarok, K3B, Konversation, Kopete, KMail and KTorrent running now (and obviously a browser, Opera, though I think I'll probably switch to FF since I'm just trying it out)
Anonymous have raided Habbo hotels and many other childrens sites just because it was funny, they troll disabled people and make fun of all other races as well as women.
The protests against Scientology is really the only moral thing I recall them doing, and even that was started because they thought it'd be funny.
Anonymous probably ARE doing this because they do stuff like it all the time.
But if it makes you feel better, I'd say 99% of the protesters are completely unrelated to these attacks, they share name only when you look at how it progressed.
Quite possibly this, all they'd really have to do it post on/i/ saying "LOL lets raid these forums" along with a link and a lot of people would do it without any serious work from CoS
It's $20,000, $10,000 and $5,000 for day 1, 2 and 3 respectively...
If they went after the prettiest laptop instead of the easiest one to hack they could lose $10-15000, so I think this offset a laptop being maybe $100 more expensive.
THey'd be hacking whichever one they could hack first, not whichever one they wanted most, because there was a cash prize of $20,000 for 1stday, 10,000 for 2nd day and 5,000 for 3rd day.
I think these hackers would be smart enough to realise that getting a Macbook over a laptop with Vista on it is not worth losing 5000-10000 dollars just because they prefer to use a Mac. They did it because it was easiest for them to hack and overall they won the most.
If Vista really was less secure than Mac the guy would've hacked it and won $20,000 instead of $10,000, unless the Macbook was $10,000 more expensive(which I could understand considering Apple are an even bigger ripoff than Microsoft) he would've been very stupid.
As to Elements, I am about 3% into graphics (not my thing), but for that, Paint.NET is GREAT! I know, I know... its from M$. Still, great program. It's not from microsoft, it's an open-source program that's supposed to recreate (and greatly improve) paint.

I like how you make a joke, it's modded insightful instead of funny, and once you explain the joke you're modded troll

Or any other distro, or Mac, just because he doesn't like the way Debian does things doesn't automatically mean he's sleeping with bill Gates.

I'm not at work and the website works, I can confirm that there's something to see here.
Shame you got modded troll, I find this very true. Do your worst mods, I'm not hiding behind AC

We get cans as well but if you ask for a drink in a pub they'll give you a pint poured from the tap, I'd assume it's same over there
