She spoke at OSCON and I was pretty impressed. She seemed legitimately committed to the mozilla project being a successful open source project. Not sure how this bodes for Moz itself, but it sure is unfortunate.

    I think that's plenty of reason to fire someone.

    Or maybe you give Bugzilla users an alternate forum rather putting that crap in the bug database?

    Cure the disease, rather than bitch about the symptoms.

    In the future, please think about the people who are relying on a particular server before targetting it for destruction.

    Oh, they do think about it, trust me. In case you haven't noticed from the self-satisfied braying around here every time it happens (which is about five to ten times a day), "slashdotting" serves as a handy penis substitute for the hordes of socially malformed idiots that this place calls its audience...and its "editors."

    Some of us click it twice when we see things like this. Bugzilla people, take a break. Step outside and smell the air, look into the sun, pick a flower.

    Telling people to stop clicking on a slashdot link is like asking a hurricane to please come back next week.

    Deal with it with grace.

    Is Slashdotting a force of nature?

    No, you are the wanker. Bugzilla is a development server, dipshit. Those using it for development should be able to use it without every Cock, Dick, and Buttfucker in the world stopping by to say hello.

    I think Mozilla should be taken out back and dealt with in the most humane way as possible. Its a non starter folks.

  11. That's really pathetic by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    That's really sad. What kind of a development project doesn't have the resources to run a simple web server? And to make it worse, one of the developers actually has to ask 'please don't link to us'? Generally, projects of any kind want as much visibility as possible. This is EXTREMELY unprofessional and really says a lot about the pathetic state that Mozilla is currently in.
