I'm glad to see people learning from other's work! I wrote MKUltra using the Web style for inspiration, and I wrote GONX using clee's dotNET.
This is the beauty of open source code. BTW, it looks really good, and useful. Window shading is a fantastic usage paradigm, which most environments (sadly, even OSX) ignore. |

As far as I can tell, having spent many long hours in the KDE sources, and reading kde-core-devel KDE depends highly on various elements of X, for IPC and whatnot.
Further, KDE depends so heavily on Qt there's about a .0000001% chance KDE could effectively be rewritten sans Qt. More likely would be a Qt port -- but even with that, without redesigning/porting a *whole* lot of X11's functionality (think XAtoms for IPC, XDND, XClipboard, etc) you'd have a crippled, barely usable KDE. This is because KDE has avoided reinventing the wheel when possible, and that's a Good Thing. That's what standards are for ;)
Sad, yes, but how bad really is X? Not bad at all, from my perspective.
Now, you could port Qt and GTK+ separately and have Qt/GTK-only apps runnig fine. And, from what I can tell, GTK might actually be relatively easy to port -- considering it's already been ported to DirctFB.

I'm looking forward to using these.
Until a couple years ago I ran beos fulltime, and I still miss its graphical simplicity and ease of use.
Icons of course aren't the same as a running the real-deal, but at least they can bring back a bit of the beauty of that desktop. |

I'm pretty certain it's just tahoma or verdana. Nothing exotic. The standard text is georgia.
Yes, MS webfonts all the way ;) |

Aug 19 2002 on content MKUltra |
Did it give you any errors on make? I presume you ran "su" before "make install" right?
Sadly, I don't really know what could have happened, though there's a possibility the ./configure script picked a bad KDEDIR prefix for installation. You could try running
# ./configure --prefix="..."
where "..." is where you know kde is installed, which is the environment variable $KDEDIR.
Unfortunately, I don't really know how to help you here other than that. Sorry :( |

Respectfully, I think you're confused. It's entirely possible you're mistaking the name mkultra for something completely different.
I figured, "maybe luca's right" so I did some googling. You can too: try MKULtra by itself, or with the BBC. All you'll find is:
1: Paranoid websites.
2: Paranoid websites.
3: Debunking websites.
4: A trip-hop radio show.
5: Paranoid websites.
I have no doubt the bbc did a show on the victims of some drug that *sounded* like MKULtra, but it wasn't MKUltra, I assure you.
Because if it was, why would the English care? It was only used on U.S. citizens IF it did exist and IF it ever was used.
Right now, the U.S. government has its head too far up its ass to pay off the victims of Agent Orange, which is real and did happen (I know, because I worked many years ago as a clerk for a law firm in DC which was defending the military on this issue). If the U.S. government won't admit culpability in agent orange, they sure as hell won't admit it for mkultra, WHICH DOESN'T EVEN EXIST.
Now, please: make fun of me, make fun of my window style, but I get sick and tired of the implicit assumption that as an American I'm ill-educated, ill-informed (I listen daily to the BBC), and in general inferior in every possible way to others whose sole accomplishment in life is to have been born not-American. I've put up with sneering abuse like this for years from various european friends and aquantances; and it hurts, it is tiresome. If you have jabs to give, point them at me, but please don't use my nationality as a leverage point for your weak argument.
Also, I apologize if I offended you about what I thought might be a language issue. I've been trying for a few days now to figure out what you're smoking, and it had occurred to me that it could simply be a matter of unfamiliarity with english. Regardless, I assure you your english is better than my . However, if English is your native language, you should try more carefully editing your arguments.
Anyhow, do some research, please. I assure you that this is a mistake on your part.
I'm letting this be... now. |

I have no idea what you're talking about! There may be a language barrier here, and if that's the case I respectfully apologize. The only languages I speak other than english are modern standard arabic and italian, and both are *very* rusty.
Regardless, the fact is: belief in this kind of paranoid fantasy is nothing but mental masturbation.
Of course, take my feeling with a grain of salt -- I am after all a brainwashed amerikkan.
Seems to me, though, that of the perhaps 10,000 people in the world who know what MKUltra is, 9999 will think it's a funny/amusing/irreverant use of the name, not offensive.
Sorry, dude. The name stays, because I like it ;) |
| | | Me too
Aug 18 2002 on content MKUltra |
I have to confess, I would like it to be included in KDE as well, but I don't know who to talk to, or how to submit it.
I guess I'll just post to kwin on lists.kde.org, that's probably the best thing to do. It could probably be included in kdeartwork... |
| | | Yes, my mistake
Aug 17 2002 on content MKUltra |
Absolutely true -- sometimes I get a little fast and loose with assumed inline conversions from a const & to a plain &. Mainly because I come from a C background, and prefer the use of traditional pointers.
I've updated the archive with the bugfix. It ought to compile fine now.
It also includes a fix to make the resize-arrow work better for GTK apps. Thanks go to Thomas Zell for that one! |
