hmmm, funny. GNOME's panel starts right up for me, just as fast as KPanel. GNOME's panel has just as much functionality as KDE's as far as I can see. You can DnD (which works very well...I don't know what you're talking about), swallow apps, and add applets. Plus it has "drawers" and you can configure it pretty nicely.
What kind of file manager integration does KPanel offer that GNOME's panel should add?
Ummm, if you're grabbing the source, you're compiling, not recompiling. I didn't have to build it more than once. The RPMs *do* work on some systems, just not all of them, which is most likely the cause of having a previous hybrid GNOME install. I haven't heard anybody complain about the DEBs yet.
The GNOME panel is awesome...definitely the best panel I've ever used. It's pretty, it's configurable, and with the 1.0 release it's fast too....awww yeah. No more KDE for me.
I think the problem with his analogy of "We have a PSX emulator so we're better" is what makes him look stupid. First of all, they are porting the emulator to Win95/98, if they don't get a court order to stop development before that. Secondly, this is a stupid comparision because all the other PSX emulators were never made by a commercial company, it was always Joe User in his garage doing it in his spare time. ANY system can be emulated, it's just a matter of how well it will run. This is just another example the author of this editorial showed his stupidity.
Exactly. You hit the nail right on the head. After reading the article, this guy isn't qualified to defend the Mac. Either that or he's just stupid. He obviously doesn't know much about Carmack or his background either, he's just trying to say "nah-ah! Windoze and Unix suck more". Carmack is more than just a game programmer. The man is a coding genious and his opinion should be taken VERY highly.
"Doom and some other games used to be Win16, which had many more uglies with memory management and scheduling, and made the Mac OS look wildly mature and consistent."
That proves right there he doesn't know what he's talking about. DooM or any other id game never came out for Win16. He's also throwing in useless stuff about the Mac UI being better. Who the fsck cares? Carmack was talking about the low-level portion of MacOS. If you build a beautiful building on sand, it's still gonna fall down when there's a storm. I'd rather have the (debatably) "MORE sucky high-level" Unix than a buggy MacOS. This guy is no more qualified to talk about this subject than Bill Gates is qualified to talk about how to be a bodybuilder.
Ummm, what's wrong with trying to get Kevin Mitnick a fair trial? I say lets put your ass in jail for a few years without a trial and see how you like it. Even OJ got a speedier trial. I don't think highly of Kevin Mitnick, but I think he needs to be treated fairly and like a human being.
IRC uses more bandwidth (unless you're just idling, but then it probably still uses more), and anybody can/whois you and try to hack you. With ICQ only the people on your list can get your IP address, and only if you're visible to them.

quit bitching and compile from the sources...that's what I did and it works great. I tried the RPMs first but they only fscked things up.

They use a hardware kit. A add-on card plugs into the motherboard...at least that's what I had heard.
man, I'm going skiing this weekend too that's why I can't come...weird.
It uses OpenGL via Mesa or the 3Dfx MiniGL, just like Quake2.
Carmack said in his .plan that Quake3Arena will ship with native Win32, Mac, and Linux versions on the CD.
umm, cats are free citizens? wtf are you smoking? That's why domesticated animals are referred to as "pets" and their "owners".
And I still bet that Apple system software, megabyte for megabyte, is far better quality code and better debugged than even Linux software.
hahaha, okay, it's official. This guy is on drugs!

it's back up. It was only down temporarily.
