That's because it's so different. I've not used a Mac since the Color Classic II, but I've used most PC DEs around since the mid 90s, and I have to say that KDE4 is just plain different.
Learn it, give it time, and it becomes normal to you. Just like a new pair of shoes.
That said, I'm sure there are people out there who just won't like it. Perhaps you are one of those.
I understand that we like the freedom of the internet. But making a bot of somebody's computer is akin to rape.
Non sequitur. Also, the analogy is not appropriate: there is no physical harm being done.
You could argue that no physical harm is being done in either case*. Most (if not all) harm is psychological. Assuming another crime is not commited at the same time (assault the victim is not rape. They just happened at the same time).
* STDs make this a bit more confusing. Until STD infection is a crime in and of itself, it will continue to complicate it.
I'm losing a bunch of my mods applied to reply to this, but I must correct you. For everyone pointing to the lack of nvidia on freebsd x86_64 above, i apologize. you had informative mods until this joker started typing.
Icons still have that retarded mini-sidebar pop up when I hover over them.
Lock the widgets. They only popup when everything is unlocked. While locked, they cannot be moved, added, or removed.
I still have a "Desktop" folder that is not reflected by the on-screen desktop, all in the interest of satisfying Seigo's whims.
Set your desktop to 'folder view' and point it to your Desktop folder, and you have the old style. The 'disconnect' actually allows more flexibility. The only difference is the mapping is now user editable rather than hard coded. I also don't know what this bit about Seigo is from. Nobody is forcing you to use that feature.
Misplace a single character, and it's reboot time...
If you're lucky. If you aren't, you get silent (well, sometimes not so silent) data corruption. Fun times I imagine! I'm glad I never got into it back then.
Come on guys, would you prefer he left a bad mod on one of your posts? Leave it alone, or use overrated if you must. That way he doesn't pay the bad UI implementation.
I see no reason why the planes could not have been concealed somehow, and taken off a sufficiently long stretch of tar.
My post was half jest and half serious.
You are going about your daily life when you see this... are you in any position to know what is going on at Long Island? For all the people know there, in the short amount of time they have to interpret what they see...

A car can result in a violent harm. A computer can result in a nonviolent but far more reaching crime.
Sounds like a comparison between blue-collar and white-collar crime. Guess which one effects more people in a single instance?

Yes, you can.

Why would these need to be satisfied for nvidia, but noone else? Because nvidia did things a specific way and will not bend.
For now, Kubuntu is the only mainstream distro with 4.2 in stable. Fedora 11, OpenSuSE 11.2 etc are not released yet.
Are there any others with 4.2 in stable?

Niblung?
You mean: "Der Ring des Nibelungen"
That translates to: "The Ring of the Nibelung"
WTF mods, that is not offtopic.
Pay attention!
and the rest of the world would get hollow squares.
Come on, who really has a Klingon-supporting font installed and set in the web browser
Yea, everyone keeps arguing about all this.
If the vendors didn't drink the MS cool-aid in the first place, it wouldn't even be an issue!
Now if only they would learn from their mistakes.
beautiful, compact, and disgustingly ingenious gibberish.
Sounds like perl! <hides>

The product is placed as per store management, if it doesn't come from even higher.
So, the clerks won't be the ones keeping the map data updated. The people altering the planograms would.
Non-issue.
Try that when your post 65 years old and starting to have memory problems. You will have a great time trying to remember what you need.
You should pay special attention to this statement made clearly on that page. I mean come on, it's only the second sentence on the page!
It is currently in an early stage of development...
The offtopic karma hit is even worse.

What happens when everyone says piss off? The internet dissipates?
Excuse me while I go visit my travel agent...
I've got some unplanned "traveling" to do.
If I am giving you data and you are requesting it, I am a server at this instant, and you are a client.
All the "p2p" arguments around this is all semantics. Someone is serving someone else data.

What use is an internet built entirely of clients?
My friend, you have a flawed understanding of the Internet and what it is 'intended' for.
F-16s, not F-15s. Why does this matter so much?
We've sold F-16s to just about everyone. There's no guarantee they are ours.
Agreed. While it wasn't the best thing I've watched... there can only be one best thing.
And it's certainly higher than a lot of other trash that's been made.
Nor was it detracting. It's not like he was using it or anything.
People need to get over it. "Oooh a penis! Run away!"
Why don't we all just give up and wear burkahs?
I think you don't give yourself enough credit.
What you say would put yourself above the "advanced" area and into the realm of the wizard.
