An anonymous reader writes: In recent times, a lot of discussion has been generated about the state of KDE version 4.0 and as Linux users we are ever inquisitive about what the final user experience is going to be. This article throws light on some of the features that we can look forward to when KDE 4.0 is finally released some time this year. The article indicates that the most exciting fact about KDE 4.0 is going to be that it is developed using the Qt 4.0 library. This is significant because Qt 4.0 is released under a GPL license even for non-Unix platforms. So this clears the ideological path for KDE 4.0 to be ported to Windows and other non-unix/X11 platforms.

Which Text-Based UI Do You Code With? 211

Posted by Cliff on Thursday January 04, 2007 @10:42PM from the ain't-nothin'-wrong-wit-curses dept.

JHWH asks: "I've been asked to design and implement a management software system with text based user interface as the replacement of an older one running on AS/400. Despite my attempts towards a web UI, the customer is actually willing to have a text based UI. The main reasons are the need for a very low bandwidth and the ability to run on serial terminals. All this in the 21st century! Host systems will be Linux, the language will be C or C++. I already thought about the use of text based browsers like lynx or links. So now I have to wipe the dust away from my ncurses manual, or can Slashdot suggest something more effective?"

I've gone after a lot of people for a lot of different reasons lately. Of course, most of that is just normal Slashdot, but this is a little different. It's kind of personal.

Journal Journal: Understanding America 8

You can't really understand America (and Americans) until you understand the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral.

Discuss.

I don't mean merely just the 30 seconds of actual gunfighting itself, but the personalities and their motivations and why and how the gunfight even came to happen in the first place. The actual gunfight itself is very nearly irrelevant actually, except as a reason to understand everything that lead up to it.
