  1. Re:Sounds a lot like religion on Java 1.5 vs C# · · Score: 1

    Looking at your other posts, kfg, I figure this post is actually on topic.

    What he means is that out of Java and C# he cares for neither of them and cares even less about what happens to them. That explains his little analogy :D

    Am I right, do I win a prize? :)

  4. Re:Very good on Labels Push for a Unified DRM Standard · · Score: 1

    Thats exactly what I was thinking. One standard means less targets to... well... target. It also means, providing that the standard is open an un-patent encumbered (I know, big dreams...) more OS's can be more compatible with less work.

    Just what I wanted to hear. Although, what I really wanted to hear is that DRM would dissapear of the face of the earth, but this is the next best thing.

    Here's what you do:

    Dump your lame window manager and get one that has "Remember" support.

    Get a session manager (GNOME and KDE have one, but my guess is your not using either) like rox-session.

    Problem solved.

    You don't need to "Run" KDE to get Koffice to work. You just need the KDE Base libraries and the Qt libraries to get it going. You don't have to run it as your desktop environment.

  10. Re:Evolution does not belong !! on Gnome 2.8 RC1 Released · · Score: 1

    There is a good reason why Evo is being included -- having the contact information centralized and standard in every Gnome installation means that other Gnome applications can use that data.

    Hi, first off I am an enlightenment user but I use KDE apps quite a lot. Now that thats out of the way...

    Instead of hardcoding these "information sharing interfaces" between concrete classes, why not create an interface, or a set of criteria that any program may implement, meaning you can include a very basic pim suite in gnome, but users can use evolution if they so wish. This means that people don't run into the "mosquito with nuclear missile" problem and not having to use a complicated application to suit their simple needs.

    If this "interface" is standardized, people will have the choice to use whatever application (contacts, calander, im client) they wish but the intergration is still the same. KDE has started to do this with its PIM IM client intergration, as long as an IM client implements a certain interface (DCOP interface IIRC), the programs can intergrate together and share data. So you may use KDE Contacts with GAIM if you felt so inclined.

    Lets face it, the Linux desktop is not going to magically unite, so programs must be written to be modular and compatible.

    You sir are a sad, sad man.

    I do remember a story full of idiot KDE flamers

    It sure is a pain having to read that garbage isn't it.

    Pointing out that the KDE project is full of ignorant, stupid hype-mongers who don't know a debugger from a chisel yet still feel qualfied to comment on technical issues, is a valuable job.

    Thats an interesting point of view. More importantly it proves the fact that you are just a troll bent on stirring things up, so I won't reply to any more of your posts. Also, I guess you wouldn't want people finding out about brilliant projects such as this. Pretty good for a bunch of developers that don't know what a debugger is.

    And be sure, if you had the courage to post as a logged in user you would be on my foe list for sure. I've read almost half a dozen AC posts along the same lines. Also, do not write me off as a KDE fanboy, I am an enlightenment user and use a mix of GTK/GNOME Qt/KDE apps.

    Please, just stfu now. I can tell you now why we have the "Desktop Divide" between KDE and GNOME. It's morons like you man.

    The KDE project has it's share of followers like you as well, but your all the same. The only reason the desktop wars rage on is because you open your mouth with your opinion that you think everyone wants to hear.

    Yes GNOME has been working on similar projects, heck it was even mentioned on Slashdot front page a while ago you idiot. KDE is getting a lot press at the moment because of aKadamy and the 3.3 release so why don't you shut up and let KDE have it's moment.

    Why not Linux? Most 64-bit ready OS's these days are Linux (SUSE 9.1, FC2, Gentoo) or Unix-ey (MacOS X).

    Recently installed FireFox and I will NEVER use IE again unless the page requires the active X crap. I love everything about Firefox, and as more extensions become available, I love that I can make it work EXACTLY how I want it to work.

    I would love to see an extension that spellchecked text boxes in online forms though...

    Konqueror in KDE's suite of programs accomplishes this. It's very slick. It's Linux only but SUSE comes default with it.

    Novell is combining Ximian Desktop 2 with SUSE linux (8.2 i think) to create "Novel Linux Desktop 1.0". This is looking to be their enterprise desktop product as Ximian Desktop is very easy to use and quite nice.
