I've used knews for several years under Solaris and Linux. It has
nothing to do with kde. It has threading, flexible kill features,
excellent search, etc. Go to http://www.matematik.su.se/~kjj/ for
more details. I have always compiled from source code with no
problems. There are rpm's but I don't think they are up to date.

Now you're falling to a Democrat lie.
Robin Hood did *NOT* "rob from the Rich and give to the poor"...that's
a DEMOCRAT MYTH
The TRUE summarization of Robin Hood is this:
He stole from the TAX COLLECTOR and returned it to the people.

This is psychological abuse by the school.
If they create an environment where, no matter what one does, you are
made to suffer, called a "double bind", then the result is psychosis.
There is a passage in the book 'How to be a Jewish Mother'...
Give your son a red tie and a green tie. The next time you see him,
if he's wearing the red tie, say, "What, you don't like the greene one?"
Alternatively, if he is wearing the green tie, be sure to note that
he isn't wearing the red one.
The only way out of this is for the son to act insane by wearing
both ties at the same time.
Seriously....letting a kid attend public schools these days is
akin to child abuse.

100% is a relative quantity. It's difficult to say whether or not it's
"huge" unless you know what the other half of the ratio is. For example,
"100% of your tax" is not very much if your tax is low.

H: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: Jet Silverman plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a
method of sidetracking discussions which are headed in a
direction that she doesn't like.
C: Jet Silverman claims to have killfiled me.
D: Jet Silverman now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (D) above.
E: Jet is not worthy of the time to compose a response until
their behavior improves.
F: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.
G: Knackos...you're a retard.
