Slashdot videos: Now with more Slashdot!

Not sure which release was worse, Gnome 3 or KDE 4. In both cases, the UI devs went insane and for some reason, all of the other devs followed their lead.

XFCE is way better than Gnome or KDE for home use, in my opinion. Others may not agree. It has been in limbo for a while, so hearing that it is finally getting an update is great news.

Lol! Wish I had mod points.

Perl 6 is Design by Committee. Make of that what you will.

I think the chance of GRR Martin dying before the series is finished is up around 99.99999 %.

Seriously, how can a billion dollar company that does tons of computer stuff not have a near-impregnable website?

I play video games and games like D&D.

Most people drive the day before Thanksgiving because it's the first day of their vacation. They can't really leave on Tuesday unless they drive at night, because most people will be working that day.

That's one game I really wish was still around. Fuck NCSoft.

I vote mixed ticket. Some Reps are very good, some are awful. Some Dems are very good, some are awful. Get to know the candidates and not vote based solely on a letter after their name.

Because there is a nurse there under quarantine for ebola, who disregards the quarantine to go bike riding.

My ONLY major issue with Linux is that a lot of the devs think that newer is automatically better. See PulseAudio/KDE4/Gnome 3/systemd/Unity/etc. They get blinded by the new bling and just abandon all of the older stuff that works because it is boring. No one wants to bug-fix or complete that final 10% of polish that would make the program great.

KDE3 was my favorite DE. KDE4 got me to drop KDE altogether. I know there was an attempt to fork 3, but it seems to have died. It's too bad.

If Microsoft can't even get the numbering from 8 to 9 correct, how can I trust them to make a decent operating system?

If you liked Gnome 2, you should seriously check out Mate http://mate-desktop.org/. It's a port of Gnome 2, and works great.
