  1. Well there is always Ximian on What To Expect From KDE 3.1 · · Score: 1

    plus its early in the gnome 2.1 development. I'm not so ready to give up.

  2. Re:why i love kde on What To Expect From KDE 3.1 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's a shame a guy named Havoc has to be such a fucking uptight tool.

    This is one of the major flaws of open source software, you get coders who think they are UI experts. Then they start coding their own crazy UI ideas into software. In open source software there is no 'higher' authority so the author can do whatever he pleases. If he wants to be a jerk and code only the options he wants, he can do it. Ideally the users should be the 'highest' authority but not if the author is a total fuckwad.

    BTW, I'm still using gnome because there is some good shit happening like Sawfish coming back and SVG themes. Hopefully gnome 2.2 will be a little more configurable.

    Yeah I feel the same way. I blame it on Havoc myself, he's some sort of UI nazi.

  5. Idealism on RMS Weighs In On BitKeeper · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I agree with you on the most part however I find it that idealism doesn't really accomplish anything other then logically consistency. Which really doesn't mean anything either since you can construct a logical consistent argument for anything. No, its the pragmatic people who are to able to bend and find solutions to problems. Bitkeeper is only an idealogical problem at this time if it becomes a problem that deters effciency then it becomes one of pragamatism.

    RMS can rant and rave about how BitKeeper is idealogically inconsistent, but who cares? Also its not like BitKeeper owns the linux kernel it's just a tool. If the licensing truly becomes a nuisance then just use another tool.

  8. Re:Blame college tuitions, not the dot-coms.... on Generation Wrecked · · Score: 1

    Or you can do what I did and joined the military so they can pay for college. I have zero college debt.

    Stop complaining. If people were not taxed so heavily they could probably afford to send their kids to school, pay for health care, and save for retirement.

    No, it'd be sad if he was advancing a character on Everquest and planning to sell it on Ebay with the intention of using the money to get his grandma that operation she needs.

    This guy was just being stupid or his intent was to kill himself. Hey, if he wants to go out by playing some game 86 hours straight without food, sleep, bathroom time, then its up to him. He basically killed himself. No one pointed a gun to his head and forced him to play until he collapsed in the bathroom.

    Our ONLY evolutionary advantage is not big brains or stereoscopic vision or opposable thumbs.



    Uhh, I'll remember to 'just get angry' if a huge gorilla comes after me instead of shooting him with a rifle.

    The only reason humans dominate the world is because we can use our brains to build things. Either making a plow to farm or a spear to kill something, thats our legacy. If we couldn't create tools such as plows, spears, language, math and machine guns we'd still be picking fleas off each other.

  16. Re:Skinned Apps on Mozilla Jumps on 'Lean Browser' Bandwagon · · Score: 1

    I like having a little variety in my applications. I like how Mozilla looks and feels different then say IE. To me the default Windows toolkit/widget set is just boring and plain. Fuck consistency. Are you the kind of guy who gets pissed off when he finds underwear in his sock drawer?

    Yeah I understood it, and yeah you are stretching it. Did you understand it?

    Man I need to go to sleep but look why did you reply? Now I have to answer. Jesus H Christ. I'll let Nagel answer for me.

    Taken from Godel's Proof by Ernest Nagel, if you havent read it, then do so.

    "...in other words, we cannot deduce all arithmetical truths from axioms. Moreover, Godel established that arithmetic is essentially incomplete"

    later on

    "The discovery that there are arithmetical truths which cannot be demonstrated formally does not mean that there truths which are forerver incapable of becoming known"

    Godel's incompleteness theorem only refers to formal systems. Like the Principia Mathematica. It does not in any way refer to building a watch back together. A formal system is a system of logic based on its on consistency. Godel showed that using a set of axioms he could prove those axioms incorrect therefore destroying its own consistency.
    I hope that clears things up.

    The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. - Albert Einstein

    It is possible to know when you are right way ahead of checking all the consequences. You can recognize truth by its beauty and simplicity.
    - Richard Feynman

    The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living.
