Re:So how's the Windows version coming along?

KDE 4.8 Released
·
· Score: 1
gees, its only been a fucking decade and you still bitching and whining about a 3 version ago UI from windows? turn it to classic, its 3 mouse clicks dink.
I have always felt that the pre 4 versions were just windows NT that for some reason just sucked up a bunch of horsepower for unneeded fluff, the kde 4 series is much departed from that, but now I cant stand using it... dont worry I cant stand gnome 3 either.
maybe I am stuck in the 90's as some people claim (which is odd cause KDE's setup remind's me so much of the windows 3x program manager) but I just rather not mess around with the whole new flashy toy like DE's , just give me something that has a menu, a taskbar or 2, some buttons, and stays the fuck out of my way.
well good for others, I was just telling my experience, when I signed up for that site earlier this year it took 4 days to get a confirmation email to activate my account
and yes I understand how it works is 48K more than 25K, yes, that was what the petition had on it, and the response was so fucking generic you could feel the heat off of it from where they just ran another copy and president bush's signature (speaking figuratively)
yea but by the time I download it, archive it, use my discs.... is it really any less effort than driving to walmart and getting a boxed copy on a stamped disk?
yea but no one is going to give me a volt for free
and blah blah whatever, these things only get about 40 miles on juice at highway speeds, maybe if I had a couple days to get to work I could do it for that
so I tell you what, give me a free volt, and let me show up at work however long it takes to absolutely max out the efficiency of this thing then we will compare numbers and not hearsay out of the sun, otherwise its worthless junk that does not apply to the real world
besides the fact its a GM car, the piece of shit wont even last long enough to have a resell value, I know I own a GM as well, fucking thing sounds like a bench grinder ready to die only 3 years in with regular maintenance, and will be worthless before its paid off. and is already getting a weight increase without a power increase so it wont have the pinto effect
fuel surcharges and now they have to be extra careful about environmental shit cause they had an ash dam cave in a eat a town alive + our lovely electric company was part of a investigation cause their CEO's were taking trips to london and whatnot, eating at the finest drinking the best, and sleeping in gold sheets on the billpayers dime
fuck it was 42 cents last year! which sparked the investigation
cut the space heater by half, and make that kia 40mpg, and drop about 40 cents from gas.... i would end up spending about a buck thirty more for the volt
never mind the kia is paid for, and the volt, while not offering much of anything more cost twice as much
Never got around to buying a HD tv and a 600 dollar (for the longest time) console
BUT, I just dont like download games
I have a sucky internet connection (comcast economy) , its far more convenient for me to go 5 min down the road and get a disc from walmart, I do have a few games, but shit like now I just reformatted my machine yesterday, and those few games are going to take quite a few all night sessions to download... again, for the 4th time since I purchased them, just so I wont hog up the internet connection so no one in the house can use it
in the meantime while I gear up for my second night of downloading portal(1) I have already re-installed about 200 gigs worth of game shit from disc
show me the numbers where it would be cheaper to sell off a paid for car for an overpriced experiment that requires 2 bills to fuel it
ok here are some numbers
it can take upto 1400 watts during charging upto 10 hours, and I currently pay 32 cents per kw-h
its going to cost me 4.48 per day to drive upto 40 miles, 1 gallon of gas in my area is 3.12 right now and will last in my kia for a little more than 39 miles, and its needing a tune up (so it could be better)
so I could spend an extra 1.36 a day for this cheaper option + it cost nearly twice as much in the first place? please explain how this is "cheaper" than gas?
yea I am not going to spend that kind of money when my 6 year old kia makes me put gas in it once every 3 weeks for more distance, and electricity is expensive, it just cost me 88 bucks to run 2 computers and a space heater last month, I only put 20 bucks in my car
I maybe watch a move once a year at the cinema, and use the redbox about the same, but for every person like me, there are 3 people like my co-worker who shuffles down to best buy every week and gets like 5 blu-rays of shit he has never even seen cause he is going to get bonus reward points to purchase more shit that he has never even seen.
I had a roommate like that to, piss away 100 bucks on just utter garbage dvd's to get a 25$ reward from media play, and as long as people are actually dumb enough to buy a ben stiller movie not once, but fucking twice cause they cant even remember whats in their 3 bookshelves of crap, then hollywood will thrive.

Yea I know they really fucked over bank of america a few times, those bastards in the DOJ are mean
I await the generic response pulled from the filing cabinet soon
innovation is the microsoft sound system from the 1990's? wow I guess I was really futuristic running my 8 meg P90 by hollering commands at it

i dunno, it took about 4 days to get my account fully functional ... then the petition I signed was responded to by a whitewash fuck you letter
does it do any good? I would like to think so, but it probably doesn't
fine give me 200 bucks for something I obiously dont care about, to me its not worth the money to pay 200 bucks for a 2004 computer
fine give me about 2 grand for a HD tv and a xbox, until then shut the fuck up if you have nothing to contribute
it would be cheaper since they are plentiful and empty
yea but by the time I download it, archive it, use my discs .... is it really any less effort than driving to walmart and getting a boxed copy on a stamped disk?
"Why? That's not what I said."

have fun with that
