Re: Bad promotion
by Borker on Friday 28/Mar/2008, @14:35
Wow, with your grammar and spelling it sounds like you'd be a much better candidate for the promotion job!

Great to read such a well thought out, clearly articulated post as yours. Please, I'm there will be 'negative Nellies' out there that will call you 'an over opinionated tool who writes at a 3rd grade level and contributes nothing to the planet but greenhouse gas' and other such unsubstantiated, poorly thought out personal attacks with no visible basis in reality, but you keep up the good work! As I'm sure you must be aware, you're a great asset to the community and if more people spent time writing posts like yours the world would obviously be a much better place and certainly KDE would be a better project. Kudos.

    nice come back... I love the way you went into a detailed list of what 'really sucks' in KDE4 and your proposals for making it better. It certainly went a long way towards repairing the mistaken idea people may have come to that you are in fact a pointless, complaining troll.

      Well, i find you to be a pointless complaining moron .. but i can live with it. Why should i make proposals? for years proposals have been ignored and you can just search for Seigos comments to see what he thinks about proposals - its a complete waste of time. Something you would know if you had been here for more than two months.

        "you can just search for Seigos comments to see what he thinks about proposals - its a complete waste of time"

        True, he has repeatedly asked for constructive criticism and well reasoned proposals. Not useless and pointless whining and complaining, or repeating of the same already answered "issues". Since you obviously are incapable of that, in your case it's a complete wast of time.

          "True, he has repeatedly asked for constructive criticism and well reasoned proposals."

          Well, when KDE 3.5 started, I realised that KsCD was broken, it simply stopped randomly at the middle of a track, and started from Track 1. This bug (121405)was reported by other people using various distributions.
          7 months after this bug had been reported I added a sarcastic (desperate) comment for the maintainer to tell us at least if this bug will ever (within KDE3) be fixed or we should switch to GNOME to listen to audio CDs. There was no answer unless you count it as an answer the fact that KsCD was moved from kdemultimedia3-CD to kdemultimedia-extra.
          Well, guess who the maintainer of KsCD was at that time (2006)? Yes, Aaron J. Seigo.

          The problem with this is only that Kaffeine and Amarok with the Xine engine cannot play back audio CDs without adding gaps between the tracks. So KDE, while having several programs to play back audio CDs does not have a single one which does it properly.
          I am not using Kontact, but can understand the exasperation of KDE users who see that certain programs want to do everything without mastering the basics. (This exasperation started this thread off.)

    Just like re-reading a great book or watching a great film for the second time, I think reading your post a second time has only increased my appreciation of it's timeless brilliance.

    'KDE4 really sucks and we make a world a better place' just magic!

        How about explaining to us why kde4.1 will suck, or how kde 4.0.x sucks for you?

        Just imagine if we all communicated by shouting opinions at each other without providing context or explaining anything. Comments like this are a waste of space.Most of this thread has been you trolling and everyone else trying to get a decent argument out of you or just making fun of you.
