"'IP on Everything." Sounds like his office is a really disgusting place.

It's probably something like this: Open VNC session, start application on remote, close session. Open VNC session, the app is still there as you left it. I'm not 100% sure if that's possible to do with X11.

Uh... Both deci and seconds are SI units. If you can use decimeter and decibel, why shouldn't you be able to use decisecond?

Nerds I'd Like to... You know what - nevermind.

Honestly the stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me. The 4.0 release had big, huge, honking warning labels telling everyone that this was the first release in the 4.x series and that the API was stable — and that you should avoid it at any costs if you were a regular user. Seriously, the only way the KDE people could have made the message even more clear, would involve replacing the zero in 4.0 with the goatse guy.

And there's a tip for everyone working on Gnome 3.0...

You actually TALKED to a girl? Wow. That's just incredible

That can't be right. Passing everything by value would mean that an object modified simultaneously in two threads would get out of sync immediately. Also, a quick Google search shows that Java actually passes objects by reference. So much for pedantic cowards...

Yes, my pictures from the vacation 2009 might end up in the "vacation 2009" directory. It only becomes a problem when you also want to find all pictures from your vacations where James is present, or the beach pictures in 2009 and 2007 that has your wife in them and that you would rank 4/5 or higher. One solution is to have a silly amount of directories, and doing hardlinks of images. That isn't very wife friendly, though. The tagging that KDE implements is a easy solution.

Oh, right, that's why all of those PowerPC equipped Macs couldn't connect to networks and exchange information with my x86 Linux server: they had different endians.

No, actually, that's bullshit. There is absolutely no reason at all why the endian should matter. If a piece of software can't communicate with another because of different endians, the programmers should be dragged out into the woods and be shot.

Network byte order. Look it up.

Dude... You're talking about a company residing in Norway. The third largest export after oil and salmon is Black Metal. Which is kind of bizarre, as Norwegian is probably one of the most cheerful languages there is.

I think you're drawing the wrong conclusion. If a third-party publisher would create a game with the same high standards of Super Mario Galaxy or Metroid Prime 3, instead of bad PS2 ports or quick hackjobs... Don't you think they would sell tons and tons of them? The Wii is perfect for FPS games, moving from the clunky and worthless dual-analog control to a mouse+WASD compatible scheme. Despite that, noone has really bothered with doing anything for it other than Conduit.

Strange. I seem to recall the GNOME project being started because of KDE using the Qt toolkit, and then trying to catch up with KIOSlaves, DCOP, KParts and other superior technologies in the KDE camp.
