  1. Re:Funny on Seven Years of KDE Celebrated · · Score: 1

    So the "G" in "Gnome" stands for "geezer"?

    [using sarcasm] reveals you to be a person of insignificant insight or intelligence.

    Whereas calling someone an "idiot" is the height of intellectual discourse, I take it?

    As for System 7...unlike KDE 3.2, System 7 was a pretty GUI on top of an operating system most generously described as a wobbly pile of accumulated cruft. If that's what you consider progress, you can keep it.

    but I tend to drop the Gnome one, since it sounds silly

    They all sound silly. It doesn't help that both "gnome" and "gnu" are real words with established pronunciations.

    Heh. If it's that confusing just a couple pages in, it doesn't bode well for the rest of the book.

    Well, maybe so. No matter how you translate it, though, it's just a fairy tale.

    Then TwistedKestrel should read his/her Bible a little more closely. In Genesis 2:17, God declares, "For in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." But Adam and Eve both ate the apple, and neither of them promptly died. Heck, Adam supposedly lived for at least 800 years after eating it (Gen 5:4)!

    So, did God lie, or was he just mistaken?

    do an experiment to see if god exists.... what do you test?

    You tell us. You believers can't even agree on what properties your god possesses. How can scientists test for something that is so poorly and inconsistently defined?

    Thats the same level as calling someone a poopy head

    Well, this is the same guy who, in a previous article, repeatedly used the term "Linux-loving crunchies". He's obviously not even trying to project an image of "professional journalist" at this point.

    By the time Longhorn comes out, so could KDE's.

    I suppose so. My computer has always been very stable after the kernel froze.

    Maybe I was hoping for too much for a .1 update

    For $129, I don't think you were expecting too much. That's how much I paid to go from Windows 98 to Windows XP, fer chrissakes.
