    I know I shouldn't feed the trolls, but . . .

    They really don't need your help, even in the event that you haven't tampered with the software at hand. Mozilla's dedicated 45mbps line will hold up just fine.

    Really? Did you know that bugzilla was screwed up for HOURS when slashdot ran the story about the manager or whoever being laid off?

    Oh, and I can only wish I was so cool that I could "tamper" with the software within, what, and hour of the release. I'm working on it, but I'm not there yet.

    You are right in theory though. The mozilla folks really ought to put up MD5s with the release.

    You're almost as dumb as the people shouting that they have a kernel mirror up after a new release (they already got a 100mbps line, people).

    Well, a Linux kernel source tarball is about, what, 20M? And there are about, what, a bazillion ftp.us.kernel.org mirrors? And another bazillion world wide? I think that this is a bit different.

    Oh, by the way, get a FUCKING LOGIN if you're going to talk shit. Oh, wait, you probably have one, but don't want to waste your precious karma.

    You get that info from looking at the logs? The logs are WRONG! Opera by default identifies itself is IE. There is a huge percentage of people who use Opera primarily. For instance, four of my non-techie friends use it all the time. My girlfriend uses it. I just showed them the basics of how to use it, then the cool feature only Opera has (like gesture navigation) and they were hooked. When reading the logs, remember this: a large percentage of those IE hits are really Opera .

    I know this isn't the right place to ask this, but oh well, i'd be really surprised to be the only one with this problem.

    I installed the RH 7 0.9.4 RPMs on my pretty standard RedHat 7.1 box. But when I launch mozilla, nothing happens. It forks 4 mozilla-bin processes, then absolutely nothing happens, no windows pop up, and the CPU stays at 0% load.

    Hmm, no mozilla for you, come back one year!
