I gave up on the Gnome idea

There is no place like ~

[SteveRiley]

True. And it's always good to be ::1 for the holidays, too.

[Spadge]

Yeah. I like it ./

For those interested, you can make Synaptic and other gtk apps look very good in KDE using qtcurve, kwin-style-qtcurve, kde-style-qtcurve, and gtk2-engines-qtcurve. Along with qtcurve-i18n for language in my case.

Ah, finally an on-topic post. This thread was in danger of becoming quite silly.

However, I would be remiss if I did not point out how saying "There's no place like C:\Documents and Settings\Default User" just doesn't work at all.



Quite silly, indeed.

That would be %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%

You can't forget that there is also "No place like 127.0.0.1"

[SteveRiley]

Only for those who already own one. The address space is all used up, you see. Builders may no longer construct 127.0.0.1s; only new ::1s are allowed. Early adopters were lucky to receive additional locally-known secondary fec0:: numbers. This was especially useful for fencing one's ::1 with the curmudgeonly appropriate fec0::ffff (say it out loud, heh) site-local address finder -- the modern-day equivalent of shouting "Get off my lawn!" to the thugs from the adjacent neighborhood. Alas, 21st century global interconnectedness proscribes such boorish displays of crude protectionism.

I knew it!

[Spadge]

No place like the TCP/IP loopback?

wtf.

Anyone fec0:ffee?

Dangerously close to being on-topic, however not really as it had nothing to do with how bad Synaptic looks in Gnome

[Detonate]

Kwin vs. Compiz. I really like Kwin, but there was one Compiz feature I really miss, and that was the Screenshot. It was the easiest and quickest way to get a screenshot ever.

kmail is still the best email client I have used.

True, one of the things that keeps me on KDE (And Mint14/Cinnamon is tempting).

Despite Akonadi being at times *wildly* infuriating, the good bits of Kontact are really *really* good.
