Re: Java Mania: An Interview With Richard Dale

Too bad GNOME has JavaGtk and an implimentation under JNI. But KDE people like to do stuff like integrate browsers into there desktops, use nonportable APIs and component technologies, push nonportable java and FUD the competition. Of course they also do stuff like DoS attacks on google, even though Ximian took there adds down, but the addwords were bought by a free speach advocate.

Fsck!
What is it with all these GNOME trolls on this site recently???
Non-portable? Last time I checked KDE compiled under Linux, all *BSD, Solaris, Aix, HP, etc.
All the components and protocols are open and non-proprietary.
And unlike Ximian they are free.
Go away.

    While I agree that the guy was a troll, Ximian sells only GPL/GPL compatible(BSD etc) liscensed software. Also X11 apps have little market share for desktop software and probably never will, more likely embedded and also eventualy better protocols like D11 or Berlin(though probably not berlin), that TrollTech probably won't support until it's profitable, while java will run on windows, X11, BeOS, QNX, embedded and more, and you don't even have to recompile.

yea but look at Microsoft there the only people with a better operating system than KDE and KDE is only about 3 years behind once you can stop worying about the competitionn you can start doing codeing. and gnome is not the anwser it sucks because its ugly and other stuff it dosent have even a web browser. plus Ximain tries to trick people to buy free software it proobably almost impossibe to get a free versiom of Ximain GNOME, the olny way to get them probably is by buying them. But places like theKokpany have the software on there site, and trolltechs toolkit is truly free and it uses objcets, Quit your postin g you retard.

I'm sure you can remove the khtml kpart if you want and nobody at kde would say it was technically impossible or against their right to innovate. Those "non-portable" APIs and component technologies are free software. Feel free to implement them wherever you desire. The KDE coders build technology that suits their needs, that they (and I) consider to be a good solution to the problem and that's fun to work with. Why does it make you angry that they chose to write code the way they want to? You don't have to use it, you don't have to pay for it, you're free to completey ignore it, and I assure you that they didn't undertake this project with the aim of offending you. Please show them and the readers of this forum at least a basic level of respect.
