I do find it curious that every time CNET posts an article about GNU/Linux that they make sure to include how Torvalds flames or doesn't support some massive product line. I'm guessing they just don't want to make him come across with the public very well.
Isn't this just a copied and pasted troll? It sounds vaguely similar to messages I've seen replying to every other pro-Linux post for a while, and frankly, it's starting to get old.
I quite like the Keramik theme, it's kind of a step away from the 95-ish look and a step towards something more original but familiar that could really give KDE a more "official" appearance that people can recognize.
I'm sorry about that, I was talking to someone and I posted my comment prematurely:-).
Not a good start for someone trying to rise from a "Bad" karma, eh?
Please ignore the parent comment and my stupidity to post it incomplete.
I'm usually seen going off on a tangent about how horrible XFree86 is, but all facts through and through; given the platform, XFree86, I am really quite impressed by what KDE has managed to accomplish, especially with the more recent betas. I am the one on the front lines complaining about horrible responsiveness is with the X based window managers, but KDE has managed to earn my respect as far as speed and feel go.
I hope they release many more successful betas.
If you wanted to be taken seriously, you could at least spell the word correctly. Of course, it could be the fault of editors, but being the friendly person I am, I will over look that.
No, I'm not here to flame; I completely agree with you. The object oriented paradigm is not a magical solution to world starvation and every other problem, it is merely a design model that the programs follow. It's more than possible to solve any of these problems with one long main() function in C (ugh, I've seen this before, many many times) but who is to judge which has solved the problem "better"? Kudos to your brave response to the hordes of OOP zealots;).
Look at how you resort to profanity- a shear sign of your intelligence to all! You've struck a nerve with me as I did with you. I can point out far more errors in your own writing than I can my own, as well; I invite anyone here to help me in that aspect! While I apologize if my signature seemed negative, I never intended to demoralize you. Step up to the plate, my puerile friend, and speak intelligently; not barbarically. I've honestly heard enough already of me "please stop, get the facts straight, you are childishly making false comments" and you replying with simple-minded statements overflowing with profanity and false comments.
Happy new year!
"toque-wearing countrymen"? Your attempt to be funny, or possibly to make a retort to me was misinformed and literally "blew up in your face". Being so unintelligible, must we resort to making falsified comments against ones nation? My signature simply states the truth. I don't dislike America, I just thank god I don't have to live there with the communist-like policies you are slowly adapting. Your "patriots" are often blinded by their own conceit and deserve the title of hero no more than a stick of butter in my fridge. My "sad oppressive land"? *self-thoughts: This guy is far more introverted than I thought!*. Well, my "un-oppressed"(?) friend; look over the recent events and the laws your government is attempting to pass in order to lull you to your false security, and tell me about the oppresion then, eh?. Your government is just using the September 11th tragedy as a way of sliding laws in right under the scared sheep, and I find it sickening they could overlook the incident to make themselves more powerful. I will not say Canada is flawless, it has SEVERAL serious problems; probably more so than the USA, but in different areas and in less severity.
Get your facts straight, friend./me will not be leaving his "oppressive lands", but will be changing his.signature due to the obnoxious Americans who can't stand to hear the truth.
We don't have to put up with fascist government officials attempting to enforce their "Big Brother" policies. We don't have to put up with the looming threats of our enforcement agencies writing virii to remove our privacy.
This "draconian" license ensures that authors will maintain due rights to the code that they have spent many hours creating. The "lost hard work" that you are crying the blues about is the same reason they use and enforce this license to begin with.
Tell me this, small suit, how would you feel if you worked for weeks(/months/years) on a massive project; checking over every line and passing it through betas, ensuring that its quality would be valid for the people. You release it and find that several people have taken your source and modified it proprietarily for their own binary projects.
Here's a clue for you-- the GPL was not written for you business types to literally steal code from under contributors, it was built for an open, non-commercial model in which code is shared freely and returned as freely as gained.
Before you make these idiotic troll posts, I suggest you think about the target audience of the license you spend so much effort making these naive and misinformed posts about.
I can hear Sauron's evil laugh, then his quick glances around as he hears the 'drum sound' and the wraiths warn him: 'The/.ers... they are coming...'. The look of anxiety overturns his face:P.
Must we resort to name calling, or are you the whining child that you appear to be? I find it amusing that you would indulge to call me an idiot, but not back your case with any evidence or retort. You, my arrogant little friend, deserve some basic manners and, oh *just* a little improvement in your common sense.

On the contrary, 'ocelotbob'. It seems you are sadly one of the many overzealous "Linux is the only one true solution for everybody" people. Maybe it's a little beyond you, but, for the server/development environment; yes, Linux is the king of the ring, and I will _never_ use anything aside from it. However, there is a reason I keep two machines around at all times; you propose WINE to run it, but why have to 'emulate' it. It seems amusing how you folks always cry 'wine' (no pun intended) every time someone says 'run x software on Linux', well it's about time you clued in-- If it were supposed to run in Linux, they would have released a port or let you know on their site they were planning on it. There's a good chance it won't work as well or screw up while running emulated on Linux. Your attitude is commendably naive and your statements incorrect. Sure, if you want to smash your head in a wall by doing things your way, then yes, run everything under Linux emulated. (by the way, I'm not arguing with your Quake/UT/MP3s:) I have the LokiGames version and they play quite well:) just your yammering on about wine). Wine is under development right now, and seems almost like a buggy experiment and less like a viable solution for the moment being. I should hope you stop imparting your knowledge (or shocking lackof) on people who actually have a clue-- somethings just work better in Windows. Why do you think the system requirements on UT/Quake/etc ported to Linux are, umm, to say the least, sometimes greater than doubled?
I rest my case.
Oh wait, nah, I have a feeling some zealot moderator is going to come along and cry, "oh look he doesn't think Linux is perfect for everything, mod him down omfg he is antichrist" like the blundering children most of them are, and this footer is only to let them know I really don't care how you moderate me, because as long as my words have been heard, you haven't struck me down by any blow.
*troll*If you could spell simple words like 'gasp', I might be inclined to take your argument seriously. Seeming how your sentences are poorly construed to the audience, I didn't even bother to read past the first lines.

My mistake, sorry. I did mean simply the kernel, yet I added the "GNU/" on habit.

You'd have to imagine after the eleventh game, Cid is getting a little decrepit. I mean, sheesh.
Of course! The common mis-spelling is worthy of such a heinous punishment! May swift death overcome you ;).
Sorry for the trollish response ^_^.
