The build I'm posting with (2002020305) is a little crashy, but most aspects are shaping up very nicely.
wheee! i love OmniWeb
Cretin - a powerful and flexible CD reencoder
Come on!! Get to 1.0... this is taking forever!
Bringing irony to the Slash-masses
I am so leet for getting the first post! I claim this first post in the name of our oppressed brother at raisethefist.com!! Stay strong and don't let the man get you down! Taco, we are coming for you next! When we catch you, you're going to get the worst dutch rub you've ever had! HAHAHAH! PH34R!!!!
So when is 1.0 going to come out? It's seems like they've been in beta for 3-4 years... Eric
It's seems like they've been in beta for 3-4 years
it seems like they've been in beta for 3-4 years because they have. and even now at 0.9.8 they are cramming in new features, breaking things in the process. and even now at 0.9.8 Mozilla is unstable ("crashy" as the Users would say) and definitely not ready for prime time.
Mozilla is a glaring example of why Open Sourcing a company project is no guarantee that anything good will come of it. mod me flamebait if you must, but i maintain that as long as OSS is not as featureful OR as stable as its propietary competition, no one, but NO ONE will use it.
does that make it more better?
sorry, couldn't resist.
Just raise the taxes on crack.
I piss on Mecca. I wipe my ass with the Koran. I spit upon Mohammed.
You may find this interesting. At this link you can see what Microsoft's ultimate goal is, the source of their great profitability. Enjoy.
Wow! Glad to hear that, but, seriously, IE has done this since version 4. That was like way back in '98. Ahh the good old days. Glad to see that it only took the Mozilla folks 4 years to catch on. No sarcasm intended, either.
I use IE 5.5 + Win 98 on a P/133 w/ 32 MB ram. A tad sluggish, but it's faster and more reliable than Netscape 4.x.
Thats good. Because there is no such thing as Netscape 4.x.

When it comes to Open Source, slashdot editors will always look at the silver lining on a huge cloud. Mozilla is a "LITTLE CRASHY". God forbid if any closed source software should crash once or twice, suddenly 't would become "UNUSABLE", "UNSTABLE" or something even worse - "TAKEN OVER BY MICROSOFT" .

If thay can't get a SIMPLE thing like rendering right
A lot of jackasses think Mozilla's rendering is screwed up. On most pages that look bad in Mozilla, it's actually IE's rendering that's screwed up, and the web developer has used IE to test with. You see, there're these little things called standards . . .
