whats soon(TM)?
Sep 03, 2007 drazed link
soon(tm) is the equivalent of saying, "When Hell Freezes Over!", or, "When Pigs Fly!"

Well, one might say "When Vendetta-Online gets an interesting update".

Soon(tm)?

No, compiz-fusion hasn't stolen "Soon™". It's been an internet meme for quite some time, and did not originate with Vendetta.

I've heard things like When It's Done, but I haven't heard soon™ except from Vendetta.
Sep 03, 2007 incredibleweirdo link
I've seen Soon™ and Real Soon Now™ all over Slashdot for ages.

It'd be great if they gave even a vague idea of what their product or webpage is about.

If you're curious about compiz-fusion, it's a merge between compiz and beryl, two compositing window managers for Linux. Their current website is here.

Compiz is a compositing window manager that uses 3D graphics acceleration via OpenGL. It provides various new graphical effects and features on any desktop environment, including Gnome and KDE.

i wonder if guild could actually register "coming soon" or something like it as a trademark.
Sep 07, 2007 toshiro link
Wait, does this mean Spider is coming back?

And wouldn't registering that as a trademark cost money that could be used much miore efficiently on other stuff?
