Mozilla's 100,000th Bug

benb writes: "bugzilla.mozilla.org just hit bug 100,000 (cached). This proves its scalability. BugZilla is used to track work on Mozilla. Every change has to have a bug. This includes new features and bugs found by developers/testers during development (bugs that never reached users). We also get a lot of duplicates (which dedicated triagers sort out). So, the number of filed closed bugs cannot be used as criteria of the quality of Mozilla. During usage, BugZilla evolved to a very comfortable web platform for filing/tracking bugs, one that has only very few competition (of which I know). Examples are the emailing and dependency systems. In fact, BugZilla is probably the most important communication medium used in the Mozilla project (apart from the source code itself)."

Of course, now I have to put a bunch of text in so that the compression filter will let me post. Fucking filters.

Hello, scalability?

bugzilla.mozilla.org just hit bug 100,000 (cached). This proves its scalability.

If Microsoft made the same announcement about one of their products I don't think we'd be applauding them for their scalability!

little bit offtopic but...

user_pref("dom.disable_open_during_load", true);
that will disallow any calls to window.open from the onload or onbeforeunload events. in other words, you can kill pop up advertisements without killing window.open (which can be useful).
