I never said they were designed for gnome (though Epiphany is a mozilla designed for gnome). That's why i wrote "apps that don't even care". And they are the biggest apps in the linux world. My point was that even if one distro like suse decides to standardize on KDE, it doesn't matter if the popular apps don't...and that's a major usability problem
but in the end the apps make the choice. When I think of the major apps for linux I think mozilla, openoffice and the gimp. None of them are designed for KDE. So endusers have to deal with kde, gnome and apps that don't even care-and that's one reason software installation is a big problem. Too much fragmentation
very few people know that linux is better than windows because nobody knows what linux really is. Is it Fedora? Suse? Gentoo? All completely different experiences.
if "linux" is going to compete with Windows, the first thing it needs to do is standardize on one GUI and stick with it. Instead we have linux+ext2+QT+KDE+redhat stuff vs linux+reiser+gtk+gnome+suse stuff vs 5 million other permutations vs Windows.
ok that's a completely different issue that has nothing to do with png vs gif so easy there. You are right though that svg is where its at and mozilla will be the first browser to support it. I know because we already have mozilla builds with svg:)
We had a unprecedented major blackout that took out a quarter of the country's power that same summer and only a couple died because people helped each other instead of hoping some "system" run by the government will do it for them.
Now I apologise for making some comments about france that were way out of line. The whole thread was set up for joking. But seriously, ~15000 dead in one summer has to lead to major changes in french society and policy just like ~4000 in one day led to many changes in ours.
I promised myself I will refrain from making any more political related jokes and comments on slashdot ever again...but this is proving to be too hard to keep
children should take care of their elderly parents. yes most of them were on vacation including people working for the government run health care system. Over 15,000 dying in one summer is unexcusable and I would rather be modded down 1000 times than be silent on this issue.
you mean all the sarin and mustard gas that was found in Iraq? I bet you didn't know about...or the thousands of people who died in France last summer because everyone else was on vacation?

...and when it comes for a checkup I guarantee only heavy metal at full blast will be able to silence the screaming hehehe

nobody sees file systems but they feel them. And features such as metadata do affect the UI as we're seeing with WinFS and Spotlight

he meant splitting the 50 cents between a billion peasants
how about Star Wars Episode III: Death of Jar Jar
I can still dream right?
no that would make it bull Security Hardened Internet Technology
that's a lot of bull

check out his competition? yes. actually use linux instead of windows? heresy :)
that's why we have something even more advanced called firefox with image blocker and optional ad-block :)

i doubt Bill Gates uses linux
because it's more advanced technology
that's why he said modern browser :)

I'm sorry but I have no plans to visit Paris in the forseeable future
but I'd rather see widespread adoption of PNG

shouldn't that be Pusillanimous?
don't worry, there will be no shortage of funny posts for this story!
yes but jackito is "real" unlike most of Pamela Anderson
