KOffice Team: A Handful of Coders, a Lot of Code

Posted by timothy on from the kword-rocks dept.

nickbrown writes: "In this interview with the KOffice development team it is revealed that only about 4-6 people are working on the suite of applications. It would appear they lack the resources to keep up with the likes of openoffice. Worth a read as it highlights the troubles they are having trying to produce a truly productive office suite for KDE."

    Top of the World

    Such a feelin's comin' over me
    There is wonder in most everything I see
    Not a cloud in the sky
    Got the sun in my eyes
    And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

    Everything I want the world to be
    Is now coming true especially for me
    And the reason is clear
    It's because you are here
    You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen

    I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
    And the only explanation I can find
    Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
    Your love's put me at the top of the world

    Something in the wind has learned my name
    And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
    In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
    There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me

    There is only one wish on my mind
    When this day is through I hope that I will find
    That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
    All I need will be mine if you are here

    I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
    And the only explanation I can find
    Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
    Your love's put me at the top of the world

    My Experience with Heterosexuality

    I am a long-time Homosexual user and avid fan of Homosexual products (like dildos), but I decided to try Heterosexuality to see what the hype is all about.

    The long penis and short penis of it is that Heterosexuality sucks. It is basically unpleasurable in its current state. I mean, who needs 8 half-working female vaginas? Ass beats them all anyway, dick up.

    Luckily I was sucking a guy's cock so I just killed the session and the pain was back.

  4. Sad News : Strom Thurmond, Dead at 198 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I heard the sad news on the radio this morning. Old Guy Strom Thurmond was found dead in his Maine home. I am sure you can appreciate the contribution he made to late night TV.

    He will be missed :(

    Err...speaking about the web browser part of Konqueror, it has not kicked Mozilla's arse in any way, shape or form. Here's why:

    1) Stability. You can not honestly say Konqueror is any more stable than Mozilla
    2) Cross-platform support. Konqueror is not available on Windows or Mac OS
    3) Standards support. Mozilla has better support for more standards than Konqueror
    4) Scope. Konqueror is just a web browser/file manager. Mozilla has a mail client and an HTML composer. Some people may not want them, but others do. I think the mail part of Mozilla kicks KMail all the way to next Tuesday.
    5) Tabs :)
