There goes yet another threadslap, at 11:43. Oh well, being at the kap is boring anyway. I think we should always keep a thread like this open for those with too much karma.
Why isn't gnuchess in this tournament? I'd love to see how it stacks up to all the other engines.

Editors, why do you bother bitchslapping this entire thread? It's all invisible anyway if you just mod down the parent. Or are you just trying to fuck with the karma of everyone who dares reply to this post made by someone who is clearly an enemy of All That Is Good About Slashdot?
Possibly the parent got modded down before the original first post. Or maybe the moderators were browsing at -1 and saw the first post anyway. Or maybe the other posters in this thread are right that it was modded down because it's a dumb question. Or maybe someone should just mod this whole thread offtopic.
I personally think GNOME is prettier and has better apps (Evolution > KMail, Galeon > Konqueror, Gnumeric > KSpread, etc.), but Konqueror, ugly as it is, kicks Nautilus's ass in speed and features. So if you're used to graphical file management, I'd go with KDE. Otherwise, I'd choose GNOME. However, both KDE 3 and GNOME 2 are coming up soon, so you may want to wait and see.
Feet are generally ugly, but GNOME's foot is pretty. And you can always change the icon. Just right-click on the foot and goto Properties and the Icon tab.

and the gestures are great!
Note that the Galeon has allowed turning off popups forever, and the most recent development version has gesture support too.
Binary and source compatibility with GNOME 1.4 is broken in GNOME/GTK 2.0. It's compatible with earlier GNOME releases in the sense that you can have it installed on a system at the same time as an earlier version and it won't mess up the earlier version.
Personally, I don't like Debian's apt-get, I prefer source and you can break Debian by mixing the two
If you want to compile a package from source, use apt-get -b source package. If you want to install a new non-Debianized program from source, use a tool like checkinstall.

I think I'll quit using my bonus in this thread - no need to burn too much karma.

apt-get source package
I doubt it, but he does have bitchslap and modslap.
I guess I'm just asking for another -3 karma by posting with this, but oh well...
You know, you can always create your own sid.
Actually only about 80 points spent on this thread. The rest are all scripted editor mods.

Probably because the first post asks the same question.
Or she just starts the download before she goes to bed at night and wakes up in the morning to find her shiny new autoconfigured kernel ready to use.
Perhaps that might be because the vast majority of cliffs near people have fences?
Lies, damn lies, and statistics.
Aside from the coolness factor, why would anyone want to use CompactFlash on an Apple II?

Ummm... OS X? KDE with appropriate themes? Even Gnome can have rounded widgets with the right theme.

I believe you can adjust your /etc/X11/Xftconfig to only use AA on large (header-sized) fonts, leaving your normal text readable.

For example, it seems MS now holds a patent on alpha blending. Scary.
So when do the OpenGL patents expire? They must have already been around for quite a while.
You learn from the book, but you don't copy your answers straight out of the book. You do it yourself using what you learned.
Still, another 9 is better than another zero.
