To be continued, soon the TopfferTime...

What Means KDE ? K Desktop.

There is no need to Bible or Coran in a desktop. Perhaps something to study all big books, yes...

But it is out of topic. Nobody of the KDE team has said that this BibleTime would be included in KDE, so no problem.

If, one day, I create a KDE programm to compare the different versions of Rodolphe Töpffer comics (In Switzerland, France, Great Britains, USA, Germany, Portugal and so and so), I will be glad to announce it on this site. Be quiet, I would not want to include it in the KDE distribution, of course...

About Töpffer (for me more important than God, of course) : http://pressibus.org/bd/debuts

(and, of course, I am not a minority because a majority of comics fans and historians think that Töpffer is the comics inventor...)

(and a picture of Töpffer on the desktop is many more fine than some paragraphs of the bible, of course... so it is more useful for the K Desktop...)

*Sigh* Some people miss irony, satire, sarcasm *AND* proceed to make the exact same point that I did. Did you not read my message? Maybe the bits about "I doubt it will ever be added, or even considered" that I now realize I didn't type? ;)

Of course, it's 11:34am, the deadline is today, and I've been up all last night working. :) I expect anything I post today to be regretted tomorrow, but it feels good right now.

Besides; the holy duality of comics are Neil Gaiman and Stan Lee. Wanna get into a religious flamewar over golden age versus modern gritty comics? (Yes, everything generates controversy... even the "K" in KDE... heck, I've been arguing for years with a friend if the belts on the spacesuits at the end of the Rocky Horror Picture Show are silver or gold. I'm imagine many arguments over religion are much less heated).

Wait until KDE gets more high profile and it's labeled demonic because it has a vile serpent, symbol of Satan, as its mascot.

Incredible !

Someone who knows about "monsieur Vieux-Bois" and another one which name I presently can't remember !

I know about those because I found original versions at my grandmothers house -- And that is the kind of discoveries that make your day.

Anyway, way OT here.

Aside from that it would be great if Bibletime could be made into a generic text study program.
