Does anyone here seriously think that Bill Gates actually wrote the first version of Windows from scratch?
I doubt he wrote any of it, period. I doubt he's written any non-trivial code since his first BASIC interpreter. Everything since them has been purchased, stolen, or written by underlings.
Especially since a number of those closed-source quality folks are probably there just to get paid while their minds wander. At least in open source, the people looking at the code are doing so because they want to, not because their boss is telling them to.
They do. Every end-user who wants to run a Windows program is supposed to buy a license to use the Win32 API. I imagine TT could reduce the price of its developer tools if they charged every Qt user $100.
Gnome is actually attempting to address usability and works with strict human interface guidelines.
So is KDE, which also has a HIG, in case you weren't aware. A number of the HIG items are implemented automatically, too.
It's just a user preference for me.
Of course. That's all it is: your opinion. You have yours, stilborne has his. Just because you keep saying that your opinion is "logical" doesn't make it so.
But when I use Gnome, I actually feel comfortable as though this is something I could use all day and not go insane!
That's funny. Whenever I use GNOME, I feel like I've been put in a straitjacket.
LOL! Yeah, right. Just look how religion has been eliminated from the airwaves, churches closed across the nation, and only a small minority of Americans even dare to call themselves Christians.
so I can get back to saying "One Nation, under God" in my pledge.
Why'd you stop? That's the official wording, after all. What are you, a Commie?
Slashdot Mirror
Er...aren't Debian and Red Hat the same OS?

I've never understood this complaint. Why are you guys (apparently) opening and closing your applications every few minutes?
They do. Every end-user who wants to run a Windows program is supposed to buy a license to use the Win32 API. I imagine TT could reduce the price of its developer tools if they charged every Qt user $100.
So that's where those keep coming from. I guess I'll stop deleting them. Thanks!
Man, I wish I lived in your town!

So is KDE. Except KDE isn't sacrificing flexibility like GNOME has.
KDE is about copying Windows
Oh, yeah. I can't go two hours without someone on the KDE developers lists whining about KDE not being enough like Windows. :: /sarcasm ::
He runs "free" and masturbates to his 200MB disk cache.
:: boggles ::
And you still read Slashdot?
By?
Maybe it means Public Restroom.
Good point. I think I'm going to add you to my "friends" list.
No, you're bossy, so I'll put you on my "foes" list.
Wait, I've never seen you before, so I'll leave you off my lists.
But you made a really good point...!
Yeah, but then there's Emacs....
What kind of video games did they have back in the 20's, old timer?
Good news! Hallucinations can be treated with medicine these days.
And that's a good thing?
Why? Is something wrong with your Norwegian? Because your English is excellent.
so I can get back to saying "One Nation, under God" in my pledge.

BTW, it's my Pledge, too.
Mmm hmm. And, of course, you can document this "method"?
Or Debian's collection, or Gentoo's collection, or Fink's collection.
So, when is the execution?
Great. Now I'm picturing NASA researchers using Opportunity to photograph the next Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition: The Beauties of Mars.
::chuckles:: That joke is always funny.
