The only reason it could be taking so long is either a) they are idiots and can't program or b) they did a drastic rewrite of the whole OS from ground up.
First of all, I don't use KDE, I use GNOME. Secondly, I guess you're right; it'd be *completely* insane to put text on paper! And finally, I don't think anyone is stupid enough to try to run a piece of paper as a fully featured PC.
How about they just get rid of Zonk? I think the quality of slashdot would dramtically increase if this dumbass got removed. And by 'removed' I mean killed. Violently.
And while we're at it, maybe I should point out that that "oops!" should've been capitalized, and you forgot to put a period at the end of "That's better".
And as to the regexp posts, while they *do* have their place, this isn't it. Wildcards work just as well for this, and are easier to use. Using regexps in this case is like using a swiss army knife to open a fucking cardboard box.
I think it's pretty unlikely that they're blanking it out like an expletive, as it's constantly used to refer interchangably to RIAA, MPAA, etc. For example, there's quite a few posts where people say stuff like "**AA's". I think it's obvious they're using it as a wildcard, as it's unlikely that all these slashdotters are stupid enough to refer to a single organization in plural form.
Really? I would've though most slashdotters would know more languages. Personally, I know english, bad english, AOL speak, l33t, and engrish, among others. And yes, I had no trouble reading it either. Guess this is why parents want to keep their children off the intarweb...
Not only is it pretty much the most popular desktop environment available with this distro but it's also the most recommended to new users as it offers a very clean and attractive GUI (general user interface).
Yes, they're really for serious work, and that 160 GB hard drive is completely for serious documents, and the top of the line graphics card is completely for displaying those documents.
WAKE THE FUCK UP. Computers are for games, too. Games have been played on computers long before consoles existed. Some games (FPSes, anyone?) pretty much only work on the PC. And if I want to play on my computer instead of my console, I fucking will.
Slashdot Mirror
What kind of frakking idiot doesn't know what 'shazbot' means?
Err, a lot of time. While not sleeping mean more internet time, it doesn't makes for very good communication.
You must not spend a long time on the internet, huh?

It could easily be both. >.>
Give credit where credit is due.
en tee.
Hmmm, I just noticed your sig. Now it all makes sense. Pretty pictures FTW, eh? Sorry, but I value functionality over shininess.

How about Linux? Now whenever a slashdotter asks, you can truthfully say "Yes, Linux *does* run on my porno mag!".

And no, ^that^ is not a euphemism for masturbation.
:(
It isn't?! Well fuck. I had my lube ready.
Does it work on Linux? Or does it require some slow, fugly piece of shit windows only program?
And what, you wouldn't be scared to see a giant, wavy, multicolored window flying at you?
And while we're at it, maybe I should point out that that "oops!" should've been capitalized, and you forgot to put a period at the end of "That's better".
Yes, which is EXACTLY why **AA is redundant.
Doesn't make a very good web server, unfortunately.
Justifiable homicide.

Seriously, it should be either *AA or ??AA. **AA is completely reduntant...

I've already got one of those on my speakers, and it works surprisingly well. Now, if you invented one that worked on text, that'd be another thing...
Page two isn't much better:

And that "animation" should've been "motion", so let's just pretend I said that, okay?
