GNOME v. KDE, December 2005 edition
You're not very imaginative, cventers. I suggest you look up the fallacy of the false dichotomy.
3. Printers become obsolete in 2012 so nobody cares anymore.
4. The patent system makes it impossible to use open source in the U.S. causing both Gnome and KDE both wither and die.
5. Microsoft suddenly embraces Gnome wholeheartedly and ports the Windows printing system over.
6. Space aliens land and share their technology with us. Gnome and KDE (and vi and emacs) become irrelevant overnight.
7. Ubuntu writes front-ends for every PPD ever made, fixing yet *another* serious screwup made by the Gnome decision makers.
8. J. Random Hacker writes a PPD->GnomePrint converter so you can just download your printer's profile from the fine folks at linuxprinting.org.
...and so on.
