Hey guys, 

note that I did not say "I do not want to change it." I said "I would like to 
have a native speaker comment on this." Which Zack did, and his statement is  
more important to me in this context than all other explanations. So cap is 
going to be replaced by "maximum<Something>". Not sure about the <something>, 
since in this case, it refers to the abstract concept of a resource. 

What I want to prevent is to add one more Germanism to the KDE API. These 
things happen to often. 

And "thread count" is definitly no good. It is a term used for something 
totally unrelated. We can only use it if the joke is intended. 
Hm. that may actually be funny. So why not?
