Well www.jonobacon.org will be offline tomorrow to support this cause. Slashdot need to practice what they preach as does every other free software user on here.
If patents succeed our software is dead. Deal with it.

Hi all,
I am the guy who wrote the Free Software Song metal version. I have the files on my home server. If you have a server you can put the files on, mail me at jono@jonobacon.org and I will mail you them.
A few people have been complaining here that KDE 3.0 looks the same as KDE 2.x. I just wanted to clear a few things up:
- First of all, KDE 3.0 is largely an architectural upgrade - we have moved to the new Qt 3.x series, and this needs to be reflected in KDE 3.x. The Qt 3.x series has a lot of bug fixes and additional features such as database connectivity, better handling of data structures and the like - this increased stability is passed on natively to KDE 3.0.
- In terms of interface updates, KDE 3.0 will see some updates but bear in mind that this update was aimed at primarily porting the codebase to Qt 3.x. Any additional interface updates will be added as the need arises - we always like your suggestions and bug reports are always welcome.
- KDE 3.0 is largely about increased functionality - examples include better JavaScript, a more integrated Konqueror, new modules such as the KDE Educational Module, the font installer, kernel compiler etc. These things are really likely to appear in 3.1 and further releases.
- For those of you who are gonna bitch and moan about KDE, GNOME, XFree86, Kernel, Mesa etc...why not just help to correct the things you don't like. You don't need to be a coder to help ny project - *everyone* can help an open source project.
Please be patient folks and keep those bug reports coming in - we value your help.
KDE 3.0 will have a number of additional features regaarding access to databases, multimedia, support for more mime types, stability enhancements and the like.
As with any open source project, KDE will go in the direction that interests those who contribute to the system. Feel free to get KDE 3.0 and submit bug reports though - each helps KDE 3.0 be better all the time.
I don't want to shamelessly advertise here, but it *is* relevent. I am the maintainer of a WYSIWYG web development system for KDE2 called Kafka. Keep your eyes on it's future development.;-)
Kafka will offer many of the features that Dreamweaver/Frontpage offer but build with it's own unique functionality.
Oh come on...grow up and don't be so melodramatic. I think you are the one who should be shamefull if you compare child assault with a software project.
It isn't available in Europ either. But then again, Slashdot don't seem interest in non-american stories. I have posted a buch of European news stories and so has a friend and *all* have been declined.

What the hell is drek?

*light bulb* I just had a great idea for a first post.
Hi all,

Why not join us and make it better then?
And what do you mean by dead technology? Linux? Qt? gcc?

I have been part of the KDE team for a few years now, and slow development is certainly not something which I have experienced.
Development is not always about graphical updates to the interface - and KDE 3.0 encompasses some architectural and some extended functionality.
We are all (KDE and GNOME) evolving fine, and if you are concerned about it, why not help?
