    Nu inteleg umorul tau ronglish, da' o fi pi-acolo pe la voi prin ferentari sau whatever. Din Fedora land, tot ce scrii ma enerveaza. Nu inteleg de ce. Probabil ferentarii de care am fugit si mica voastra tiganiada.
    Si toata avalansa asta a ta de bloguri, proiecte, femei siliconate langa barbati de tip Winnetou si alte matrapazlacuri grafice, ma obosesc. Prea mult balkanism de prost gust!!

    We know you hate GNOME Shell, but read that every post is tiresome

    Planet feeds includes you, write something about your new desktop, how you changed to XFCE, help people change if that is what you did, but whining without doing something productive, even if it is to say how you to move to another desktop, how is yout new life on KDE or Xfce, or what you would like changed

    The problem is GNOME 3 just not ready, but painted as it finished. "Bla-bla 3.2, bla-bla zeighteust git, old applets autumn". That make ppl rage. it is more GTK3 + gnome-shell release, not GNOME 3.

    is the default in Fedora 15, shame on Fedora for going with something not ready.

    Out of curiousity, how does gnome 3.0 "completeness" compare to gnome 2.0 ?

    I found this to refresh memories

    I agree, if you have nothing constructive to say, take your feed off of the planet. Reading your arguments about why gnome-from-the-90s is the best is getting quite boring.

    if you have problems with my blog being aggregated on some planet (it is on a few) report it to the admin and he will use his judgement.

    BTW, GNOME 2.0 was launched in 2002, a bit after the 90s :D

    eu ti-as sugera sa incepi sa faci flotari ... nu de alta, da' daca versiunea 3 e tranzitia de la desktop la smartphone/tablet ... versiunea 4 va fi probabil aia cu 3D (ca deh: da bine)... si o sa ai ce da din maini ... stand in picioare. asa ca daca tot faci flotari, nu strica nici niste genoflexiuni.

    oamenii au uitat nu tot ce zboara se si mananca ...

    Technically, if the GNOME was IN your lawn, he'd be invisible as a buried mummy ~ therefore, please upgrade to 'Now GTFOff my lawn!' for a perfect punchline v1.1

    Otherwise [for those who do not get it!], this joke is very funny, particularly the title, the presumption of the protagonist that if he announces himself in blk-caps it will make a tremendously favourable impression which more than compensates for his innate ugliness and the fact that the marching orders come from so many different voices in sync ";0))

    Also, the artist's daring use of allegorical whitespace successfully accentuates the other visual elements in a way which would not work if they were all just jumbled together like a ball of puppies fighting.

    Do keep working on this promising portfolio!

    @UNF: thanks, updated to v1.1 :)

    @ nicu,
    I hate to nag, but the altered final line in the image reads as "Now get ff my lawn!!!" Something's still missing! My original suggestion was to use (the strong tobacco) GTFO, which stands for 'Get The Fuck Out', in combination with 'off', hence the neologism 'GTFOff' ~ which would, IMHO, be utterly sublime, whereas 'off' on its own would be merely superior ~ however, this is a matter for your own taste.

    Sorry for any confusion caused (my Romanian is entirely inadequate to the task) and feel free to ignore/wipe this note if you have no wish for v1.2 ";0))

    Sincerely, UNF

    PS: for an added effect of salty visual sarcasmo, put 'GTFOff' in the same font as the first line's 'GNOME'.

    Don't worry, I will stop now, I swear!

    Don't stop!

    I agree GTFO would be more funny but i thought is wiser not to put even more gasoline on the flame war

    Well, I'm glad to see you're taking this critique in the spirit intended, as I don't want to be accused of stalking (again ;0), but that still leaves us with the mystery of the missing 'O' ~ what giveth on that front? Has the GIMP rebelled and refused his orders?

    PS: Regarding escalation, they do say you may as well be hung like a donkey for a sheep as a lamb, so don't skimp on fuel ~ or, in the immortal words of Bloodhound Gang ~ "The Roof, The Roof, The Roof is on FIRE; we don't need no water let the motherfucker burn, burn motherfucker, BURN!"
