This release comes off the Mozilla 0.9.4 branch, and is the third major release from Netscape using Mozilla." Kmeleon also has a release today, if you'd like your web with a little more browsing and little less AOL-promotion.
The perceived slowness is inversly proportional to your level of zealotry. You'd be suprised what the die hards will tolerate. ;)
Netscape 6.x, Galeon, Mozilla, etc. use the mozilla rendering engine. Is it because it's parsing poor html? If more people used the validator, would it be faster?

WOULD YOU DO WITH $15,000? JUST IMAGINE BY DEC 15, 2001 -
JUST SIX WEEKS FROM NOW - AND WHAT YOU WOULD DO WITH
$15,000....
HI THERE! With a couple of minutes of your time I'm going to show you how you
can turn $6 and 6 stamps into thousands of dollars. Don't get skeptical yet, just
read the letter and then decide if you want to invest a lousy $6!! This program is
working for many others at this very moment and it can also work for you.
HOW TO TURN SIX DOLLARS INTO SIX THOUSAND: READING THIS
COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! IT DOES WORK!
I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was
browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article
similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only
an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but
like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send
$1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your
own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least
200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it.
Here's one example from a successful moneymaker: Mike writes "what have I got
to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well
GUESS WHAT!?... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was
shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first
week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of
over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This
is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still
coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, Let me tell you how this
works and most importantly, WHY it works... Also, make sure you print a copy of
this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise
you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money
than you thought possible by doing something so easy!
Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or download it.) Follow
the simple directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your
investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage)
IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is 99%
no risk - it really works! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will
receive extraordinary dividends.
PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more
can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the
honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully
adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business.
In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the
business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big
bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is
secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be
included in that list.
Here are the 4 easy steps to success: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and
write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR
MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6
pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent
thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You
should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above
phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a
service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate
service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little
worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post
Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal. Mail the 6
envelopes to the following addresses:
#1) Dennis E. Ribble
RR3 Box 32-1B
Benton, PA 17814
#2) Tim Baldwin
RR3 Box 304
Inwood, WV 25428
#3)Michael Patrickson
58-12 218st
Bayside, N.Y 11364
#4)Scott Williams
4930 South 98th St.
Omaha, NE 68127
#5)Jake Tobin
240 S. Eaton St.
Lakewood, CO 80226
#6)sticky
2608 Clubhouse Rd.
Mobile, AL 36605
STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other
names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6
on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200
newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but
remember, the more you post, the more money you make! You won't get very
much unless you post like crazy.
refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws.
Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can
use it again, and again.
PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the
honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the
directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and
the money that so many others have received will come your way.
NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a
computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that
you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill
in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.)
So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members
will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each.
Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the
#1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an
opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send
it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business!

Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups
and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each
newsgroup!
**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE
MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF
200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within
days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail
you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as
long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE
ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**
Each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings,
each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that
is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my
name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now,
those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3
and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is
the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my
name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!!
Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name
at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00!
With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no
longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out
another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start
posting again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that thousands of people all
over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST
LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think
so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the
money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of
new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and
newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to
50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet.
Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work.
It was a hot summer evening in southern Sweden when I took my bicycle and headed
for the beach. The beach was empty of people. My clothes fell to the ground one
piece at a time before I walked out into the ocean. Slowly I swam further away
from the beach as I watched the sun setting. A little smile of happiness was
seen in my face. With my two feet steadily in the sand, my body reaching 5'8
into the air with glittering light brown eyes and short light brown hair. With
such a soft, silky, sensitive and nicely tanned skin. It was all focused on the
red round sun heading for sleep. My naked body was in total harmony with the
nature...What a lovely sight, I thought to myself. As the sun disappeared I
decided to head back to the beach.
It was then that I recognize that I wasn't all alone anymore. Someone was
standing on the beach. I was too far away to see what the person looked like so
I started swimming rapidly back, fearing that the person would steal my clothes.
As I approached the beach I recognized that it looked like a very natural and
warmhearted woman. Her body was beautiful. Such round, nice figures and a long
brown hair. To my surprise she was taking off her clothes.
I wasn't sure how to react. Did she understand that I was naked?
As she took her bra off her beautiful breasts popped out. I swam even closer to
take a better look. The areolas was round and big and naturally pink. She must
have been around 35 but her absolutely gorgeous body made her look even younger.
Now she turned to me. Took her breasts between her hands and gently caressed
them. I squeezed my fingers of anticipation at this sight. It was obvious that
she was trying to seduce me. She knew what she was doing...
Very femininely and calmly she began to walk out into the water towards me.
Still holding her hands around her breast. She squeezed them playfully and
smiled.
Ohhh, what a rush! By now I had a hardon. I was mesmerized... As she approached
I could feel the air vibrating. My vision became more and more unclear.
My body was heating up rapidly. I bit my lip softly. Letting one hand gently
stroke my hardon. My face turning absolutely red. I was shaking with excitement.
It felt like an eternity before she reached me. She put her arms around me.
Snuggling caringly. Her body so close to mine.
It made me calm down. I gently caressed her soft skin. Showing my gratitude by
kissing her very sensually. She kissed me back with her soft lips. Her tongue
tracing around my lips while taking my hardon gently between her fingers.
Sliding the skin back and forth very slowly. My head was spinning...
and I kept kissing her as I circled my fingertips over her round buttcheeks.
Then she raised the tempo a bit. I leaned my head back and moaned. Her soft lips
kissed my neck and her tongue teasingly licked my skin. She massaged my hardon
firmly and a bit around at the same time. My eyes were widening. She knew I was
about to cum. Smiling at me and giving my hardon a couple of quick moves with
her skillful hand made me cum. Oooooooohhhhhhh, I moaned loud as I cum.
"Did you enjoy that?", she asked kindly.
I laughed and replied: "You bet."
"Would you like to follow me home?", she said.
"Sure.", I said. *Hugging her tightly*
We put our clothes on. Took her car with my bicycle in the back and headed for
her home. She was indeed a very natural lady. Very calm and kind. It was nothing
really strange about her. The feeling between us was very relaxing and I felt
very attracted to her although she was a bit older than me. I let my hand rest
against her thigh. Softly and ever so gently caressing her with my fingertip.
Feeling the vibration between my fingertip and her thigh raising slowly. I
looked into her eyes and her eyes were much bigger than normal. Showing a clear
sign of arousal. Since she was driving I didn't want to take it futher right
then.
At her house we sat down in her bed. We started kissing sweetly. Our movements
were so slow that it felt like the time had stopped. My fingertips brushed her
thighs gently. Moving upwards over her innerthighs. Making some rapid circles
before heading down between where the leg and body connect. Moving in a straight
line right up to her stomach. Making sensual patterns in different paces. She
takes a pillow. Places it behind her head. Take her clothes off and lay down on
the bed. My sweet lips start by massaging her stomach. Licking my tongue around
playfully. Wiggling it teasingly. Kissing it tenderly.
Heading down towards her lovehole. Going to the right. Dragging my tongue down
where the leg and the body meet and futher down her innerthigh. Brushing my lips
so sensually against it. Going over to the other side. Making some rapid kisses
over her innerthigh. Followed by some very slow flicks with the tongue right
beside her lovehole.
As I look up at her, her face has turned red and her mouth is wide open. The
legs far apart. She shivers as I brush two fingers beside her lovehole, barely
touching her skin. I lean forward, circling my tongue around her pink, round,
large areola. It grows beautifully. Taking her areola and nipple between my
lips.
Sucking it firmly. Making the nipple stretch before releasing it. Watching the
breast shake. Stroking the fingers around the other breast before gently
wiggling the nipple from side to side. Taking the breast into my mouth. Sucking
it sensually...listening to her moans. Massaging it between my lips and sucking
it all the way out until only the nipple is between my lips. Stretching it and
releasing it. Making the breast shake. I move up to her face and kisses her long
and deep. She takes my head between her hands and give me a wonderful, sensual
kiss. It burns heavenly in my heart. I slide my tongue playfully into her mouth.
Teasing her tongue. Flicking my tongue at the silky underside of her tongue. Her
breath is warm and she's breathing heavily. I move down to her neck. Placing my
lips around her lefthand side. Massaging them slowly.
Circling my tongue around so wonderfully. Making some rapid soft kisses around
her neck before gently stroking it with the tip of my tongue. She places her
hands over my head guiding me futher down. Between her beautiful breasts and
stomach down to her now moist lovely. I take a couple of long, slow strokes with
my tongue at each side before sucking her lips between my lips. Ooohhhh, she
moans silently. Gently I put my thumbs at each side and open the lips a bit.
Massaging my lips wonderfully against her outerlips. sliding the tounge all the
way up and down those sensitive outerlips. Watching the lovehole open like a
flower before my vibrating tongue barely touches the innerlips. They are
fluttering with excitement. I push my thumb at the base of the clit. Pulling the
clithood back to see the little round clit. As I sucking it so tenderly between
my lips her hips start moving uncontrollably.
Aaaaaahhhhh, she moans. Please don't stop. It feels so good. Oooohhhhhhh, she
keeps moaning. I massage the clit between my lips. Rolling it back and forth.
Flicking it rapidly a couple of times. It makes her go wild. As she climax I
keep massaging her clit. Giving her more pleasure than she can handle. She pulls
my hair as a sign to let go.
I look up at her, smiling. Hugging her and placing a kiss on her lips. Gently
stroking my fingers around her cheek. "Now it's my turn.", she says. Rolling me
over. She starts kissing my chest. Moving over the my right nipple. Taking it so
gently between her lips. Sucking it softly. It makes me smile of pleasure.
Dragging her tongue over to the other nipple. Circling slowly around it before
rocking it carefully around.
Mmmmmmmm, I hum. Feeling my body vibrate as she suckes my nipple lovingly
between her gentle lips. Her hands stroke my stomach and down my thighs. She
makes some tender kisses over my stomach before she circles her tongue around my
navel. It tickles a bit. My hardon stiffens and relaxes back and forth at her
touches. I have no control over it whatsoever.
Finally she takes my hardon between her thumb and indexfinger. Gently slide the
skin down, exposing my head which has grown big from the arousal. Her tongue
skillfully makes some rapid movements around the head. It really makes my blood
rush. At the same time she slowly massages my hardon up and down between her
fingers. Mmmmmmmm, oooohhhhh....feels good, I moan. Breathing heavily.
She takes the head between her lips and sucks it firmly without letting go.
Keeping the same pressure for awhile but then increasing it which make my body
raise some inches over the bed. I close my eyes and squeeze the blanket in my
hands. She increases the pressure even more and I can't help it when my body
raises some more inches over the bed. She let go and put her hand around my
hardon. Massaging it slowly and firmly in long strokes. My hardon is like a
magnet against her hand and my back is now far off the bed and I start moving my
hips to the rythm of her hand.
She then sucks my head wonderfully between her lips while circling her tongue
around my it. At the same time she quickens the pace of her hand.
Oooohhhhhh..."I'm cumming", I exclaim.She lets go of my hardon.
"Not yet.", she smiles."First I want to give you a ride."
"You're just wonderful.", I say. My eyes glittering with delight.
She straddles me and so very slowly inserts my hardon all the way in and all the
way out. After a couple of times in that slow rythm she starts massaging my
hardon in a bit quicker pace. When my hardon goes in she squeezes the muscles
inside of her and when it goes out she let's go. My hips start moving in a
circular motion in unison with her. Still slowly and sensually. She moans louder
and louder for every stroke that we take. The pace quickens. I put my hands
against her hips.
Feeling the rythm. With every stroke we move faster and faster. Oooooohhhhh my,
feels so good, I moan. Oooohhhh yes!, she groans. Moving her hips more
determined. I love it, faster....my hips moving in perfect circular motions
right into her lovehole. She arches her back. Makes a couple of rapid moves up
and down and we both climax.
We cuddled a bit afterwards but it didn't take long before we fell asleep.
The next day I could hardly stop smiling of happiness. She was as happy as I
was. Unfortunately nothing more happened and we never saw each other again.
If this release of Netscape is based on Mozilla .94, ad Mozilla .95 is out, why should I use the Netscape release?

Commander Taco of Hole-in-the-ground West Virginia didn't participate, and he was violated by a group of raging homosexuals.

Why would I need to?
I thought I'd give it a try. Especially when I saw how small the download file was (less than 4MB).
I guess what I was hoping for was the lightweight, fast, and standards based Netscape that NS 6.x was supposed to be. Well, what I found out was that it is nothing of the kind. In fact, it doesn't even really work.
It failed trying to import my IE favorites. (I have more than 512 - that is a no, no in K-meleon.) Then it refused to load any pages. Oh, and it cannot figure out how to work with a proxy config file either.
Stay away. Even NS 6.2 cannot be this bad...
Take care,
Brian

Ghosts of dead software companies haunt us again for a few hours on All Hallow's Eve, before returning to their graves.
Question: Does it have support for switching between proxies more easily than 6.1? I hope so, because you're all going to need this ability. Here's why:
The complete story: The Slashdot Privacy Watch
An Open Letter to VA Linux Concerning Privacy on Slashdot
To whom it may concern,
It has come to our attention that Slashdot is building a detailed database of every visitor and user of Slashdot. This database includes, among other personal details, an address history which permanently records every IP address assosciated with every Slashdot user and comment for all time. We are concerned that this database is a signifigant Intellectual Property asset that may be abused in the event of a sale of Slashdot by VA Linux to a third party.
In addition, we feel that keeping a permanent and indelible record of every IP address used to post every Anonymous comment on Slashdot erases whatever hopes of anonymity that endangered or threatened users may have had. To name two examples, Chinese dissidents and corporate insiders can have no expectation of anonymously revealing civil rights violations and corporate abuse.
It is our hope that given these concerns, VA Linux or Slashdot may choose to provide an opt-out option to users, whereby users could choose not to be tracked and profiled if they so request. Some discussion has been made of a Slashdot subscription service; perhaps one revenue stream for Slashdot would be to sell Privacy Rights. For a low yearly fee, a user could purchase the right not to be tracked, profiled, and logged by IP address.
Whatever steps are taken, it is our hope that Slashdot will address the current privacy concerns in public to allay our fears and to promote open discussion.
Thanks again for creating one of the most popular sites on the Internet, and all the best.

IE is compliant where it counts: all the websites that exist.
Netscape (and by proxy, Mozilla) can't render many of the websites I visit because of lacking CSS compliance or whatever.
Back in 1996, Netscape was running around touting "standards-based platforms" to their customers, but they were in fact very anti-W3C.
CSS was barely supported because Netscape had developed something proprietary called JavaScript Style Sheets (which CSS is internally transformed to). That's why NS4 ignores all CSS if you turn JavaScript off.
Netscape also developed a completely different proprietary document object model (document.layers). Which could theoretically could do cool stuff except that it crashed 90% of the time. They blew off the W3C's work on DOM, which was roughly tracked by Microsoft.
The end result of this standards split is that most of the WWW is stuck on 'common' pre-1996 standards. Ugly HTML 3.2-type markup, very little CSS, and Netscape 3 DOM-type JavaScript.
The bad thing is there's 10% of the userbase that seems to be holding out for good on Netscape 4.x -- they aren't interested in IE, they aren't interested in Netscape 6. That essentially means that modern HTML authoring will never really come into vogue, and we will be stuck in 1995 until Microsoft actually finally gets the balls to 'fork' the WWW so that their stuff only works on their platform.
Whenever I hear the word 'Innovation', I reach for my pistol.
IE fucks up my machine, so I got 98lite, Mozilla / Netscape 6/.1/.2 is FAT BLOATWARE. K-meleon reminds me of IE 3 (yuck). Opera is SPYWARE! Is there no good browser?
...the faithful?
I actually shelled out the 20 USD for a CD of Netscape 6.1. I even registered it.
Now 6.2 is released and (a) I get no notification (b) there is no "Netscape Update" menu pick to _find_ the update (c) it appears that instead of a differential upgrade, I have to download the whole 20 MB again.
I have been using Netscape since 1994. I _want_ to keep using Netscape. Am I missing something, or are they _trying_ to drive me to IE?
