New movies in Limassol cinemas

Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Brides

Three movies have started on this week: a horror “Resident Evil: Apocalypse”, a drama “Brides” and a comedy “The Ladykillers”.
“Resident Evil: Apocalypse” is sequel of “Resident Evil”. It’s highly recommended for all devotees of Milla Jovovich, zombies, top secret military experiments and rescue of humanity. NOTICE! Eating anything during watching that movie can produce indigestion!
“Brides” is Greek melodrama about a fate of “mail-order bride” from Greece who is sailing to America to be wed to a Greek husband. I’d like to pay your attention that a producer of that movie is Martin Scorsese.
PLease, see detailed schedule of Limassol cinemas. Enjoy!

GNOME 3: The Big Clean-up

GNOME 2

Anders Carlsson has described a new conceptiopn of GNOME 3. The priority tasks are deliverance from unnessesary libraries:

Pretty much all of the libraries in the platform have a defined goal. GTK+ is for the user interface, libxml is for XML processing, GConf is for handling configuration. But what is libgnome and libgnomeui for? Right now they’re a mix of broken widgets and code that wont’ fit elsewhere

decrease a number of dependences:

The GNOME libraries are pretty high in the dependency chain. If you want to use GnomeIconList, you need to pull in (at least) GConf, libxml, ORBit, libbonobo, libgnome, libbonoboui. We would like a dependency chain that is more flat, especially now that less and less program are using Bonobo at all.

So, hope GNOME 3 will be able to compete with KDE but for developers who use GNOME libraries it’ll be very very big headache!
