you can take generally smart people and add more people, stir for one minute, and they lose IQ.
Your right. They never said they were dropping it. But once relegated to the background.. how long before YaST is rewritten using GTK? How long before the KDE development that SUSE was famous for stops..etc..etc..etc.
I bet you turn your monitor to the side at night so the secret agents can't watch you sleep. Lol.
Good one.. good one. I'll bet you've worked at SUSE and see how things go?
Yea, because they are hiring right now, right after they dropped those employees they put a now hiring sign in the window.
Right? Yes? You have? And I'm sure you've spend years in the corp. world and in the tech industry so you know EVERYTHING there is to know about how software dev. is planned out and how things work? Right? I'm sure you have
I've owned a computer for 5 years. But you're right I do know how that works. Between college courses and a few friends of mine that worked for IBM on AIX, and a friend of mine who works for Intel as a developer. Yes I do think I have a fairly good understanding.
lots of friends who still work at SUSE? Right? Yes? Well, Gomer.. I do. And
I can't believe you called me a gomer....Lol I bet you have lots of friends.
I've watched how things go in the commercial world for years. So it's not a " tinhat, the sky is falling" comment when I say that once SUSE isn't paying the dev guys and putting energy into KDE that it will suffer. KDE under Redhat sucks ass and so could it under SUSE if they put no effort into it.
And I'm saying you're a dumb ass because not ONE time has anyone said that's happening. Bill Gates said Linus torvalds was a talented "chap" before 1993. Would he say that now if it wasn't a press release? Hell no. Just because you've watched the trees grow doesn't mean they are going to fall on you.
I'm not going to trade barbs with you about who does what at night and who is retarded or not. Because you have nothing of worth to say and have resorted to name calling and innuendo.
Yea, it's not like you called me a gomer....
I'm taking a wait and see stance. If they drop KDE then they lose me
as a desktop customer for my work machines. I don't install X/KDE or any other UI's on my servers, so that's not an issue.. no one should need a bloody UI to admin a Linux/UNIX box.. just my opinion. As for my home machines I could care less about what UI SUSE uses these days.. I've been using a Powerbook at home and will have an X86 PowerMac when they are released. *shrug*
They are more expensive than an SGI. Guess which one I'd pick?
Oh step off. Do not spread "Macs are more expensive anything" FUD. Moron. A
And now you're calling me a moron, yet I have nothing of worth to say because I called you names? Well, you must think you're the biggest dip shit on the planet with your way of thinking then, hell I don't recall calling you anything but I have nothing of worth to say because of it, and just in THIS message, you've called me a gomer and a moron.
business class Dell with the same specs as the Powerbook is within $100 of each other. You just lost more credibility. And if you'd pick an SGI then
I lost credibility? FROM WHERE I'M TEXT ON YOUR SCREEN. So first I know nothing because I called you some name, then you call me names, and now because I don't have 3 grand to buy a DECENT Mac I'm worse?
I don't buy "business" class machines. I don't own a business and I go to college every night, I have no use wasting that much money on one. Which is where I used Mac OS X for my first time. Well, sort of, the only app I had to sue for my class crashed and I had to "pick a new machine" because they couldn't fix it.
you're a bigger idiot as they've just been delisted and will probably be bought in the next year or go out of business.
Oh and now I'm an idiot, gee for someone who doesn't like when people resort to name calling you sure are quick to bite that in the ass. Hmmm, they delisted, yea, that means a lot to me considering I've never used a company after buying hardware from them ever.
Would you get the Mac1 if you had a chance even though they aren't sold anymore and the company doesn't support them? Most mac weenies I know would just to have one. Same thing here.
But please don't take our disdain for SUSE switching to Gnome on their
commerical distros as low IQ.. it's called debate and voicing ones opinion... we are able to do that.. right?
No.
Ah. You must be one of those Neo-Con's.. or simply a rube.
NeoCons? WTF is that? Did you mean Neo Nazi? And you just called me another TWO names Mr "You resorted to name calling and therefore can't have anything worth saying".
Lol, Wow, You took all this time to reply to me in your busy schedual of watching paint dry.... I'm honored really. Not that I need my giant ego stroked by the impaired.
And no.. YOUR uptime owns NO one. ;)
You don't know my uptime.
I guess you just didn't trim your reply and it was an uptime from someone in this thread. *shrug* Whatever.
You know, I bet that had something to do with the fact I REPLIED to his uptime.... Did you miss that in your infinite wisdom of how everything on earth works?
I think my desktop stacks up and surpasses.

Didn't install that Kernel update did you?
Didn't need to. This machine sits behind a FreeBSD box with a very restrictive ipfw rule set that also runs OpenVPN. :)
You must reboot that a lot seeing as how just in the last year Free BSD has had multiple updates requiring a reboot. Of course I'd know this, I wrote docs for them.
But, if I get some free time, I'd LOVE a signed agreement from you with that IP addy giving me permission to test those "Strict IPFW" crap you set up.
