Huh? Care to fill those of us who are unaware of the abbreviation BDS?

Well,

Helpfull guy that I am I've looked it up, according to the wikipedia it is:

BDS is a three-letter acronym that can stand for multiple things:

* the League of Democratic Socialists (Bund Demokratischer Sozialisten), an Austrian political party
* Belgrano Day School, a school in Buenos Aires
* The IATA code for Brindisi Airport in Italy.
* The alias of Andreas Thorstensson, the owner of SK-Gaming.
* Bush Derangement Syndrome
* Baby Duck Syndrome.

According to the original poster you need to put "comics" behind it.

So i suspect it to be "Baby duck syndrome comics" B)

Bush derangement syndrom comics is good second methinks.

Pff. that someone doesn't know what BDS stands for, the comics connection is a dead giveaway :blink:

Perhaps he meant "comical"?

as in the Comical Baby Duck Syndrome.

The comic about the League of Democratic Socialists was pretty damn awesome, but I'm pretty sceptical about a game based on them it, because the movie was shite even though it had Sean Connery in it. You just can't mess with Alan Moore like that.

:lol:

What comic are you talking about? What is BDS an abbreviation of?
Either explain what you're actually talking about or stop posting.
There is already an image viewer in the firmware that views and zooms JPEGs, and Wite Noiz is working on an even better image/emag viewer.

Good idea... if I knew what you were talking about. Please be more specific.

Also, please be more specific with the title of your thread, we already know this is the section where ideas should be posted

So what exactly is this idea of yours? I'm a big comic fan, and now I have a big SD card and a LCD screen that's interfaced to a portable linux box. Well, you can see what this is building up to: more time personally wasted by me. lol.

The comic viewer so far is mediocre at best, I would definitely like bookmarks and other features that mimic the human nature of reading stuff.

Is French your first language? If so, I assume you mean 'bandes dessinées' (French for a comic strip for those of you who don't know)?

I'm going to go with the League of Democratic Socialists Comics actually. It's amazing what you can do with Democratic Socialists.

I think I may have found an answer for ya'll!

I considered the possibility that 'bds' was not, in fact, a 3-letter acronym but instead a pluralised 2-letter acronym. Scanning the old wikipedia for 'bd' turned up these results:

Bachelor of Divinity, an academic degree
Bande dessinée (also written "bédé"), the French expression for comic books
Bangladesh, the ISO 3166-1 2-letter country code
Becton Dickinson, an American manfacturer of medical supplies
Bermuda, FIPS PUB 10-4 territory code and obsolete NATO country code
Biodiesel
Blu-ray Disc, a next-generation blue laser optical disc format
bmi (airline), IATA airline designator
Bradford, BD is the United Kingdom postcode for the region in northern England which is served by Bradford postal sorting office
B.D. (Doonesbury), a major character in the Pulitzer Prize winning Doonesbury comic strip
Broder Daniel, a Swedish indiepop band
Bonner Durchmusterung, a star catalogue

Now, I believe the solution to this merry problem is clear. Our friend here indeed wishes a viewer for his "Bande dessinée", or --- as he so eloquently put it --- comic books! In other words, he wants the built-in image viewer. Handily, this is already, uh, built-in, and so his problem is solved.


NOTE: This is merely a hypothesis. It is, of course, possible that he in fact wants a blue-ray disc viewer. Or that, in fact, he wishes a program to allow him to zoom in and examine people's Bachelor of Divinity degrees in closer detail. Will we ever truly know?

why not port that one linux app that can read comics (i know it works with pdf's and jpeg's) its called comic and works pretty well, ill find a link to its home page and see if its portable (well ill find the source code and what not) but that still dont mean its portable

http://sourceforge.net/projects/creader

thats one written in python (idk if its portable) but there is a source code

this is the one i use

http://sourceforge.net/projects/comix

OKay, what this poor sucker (that you have been ridiculing ) wants to tell us is this: that abbreviation is a suffix of a certain file format. Comic book scans are being packed into a zip like file and can be displayed by certain programs pagewise, with auto zooming so that you can read them like a real comic book except on a screen or a pda... :rolleyes: if you are a geek, you should know that! I knew...

 

[Goemon4]

i belive i came across an app that does that (i think 1 of the one links posted does that) mabey it can be ported (also i searched on source forge for comic mabey someone can find something portable there)
