    Its that not cold in Pittsburgh (where CMU is located). It should be at least -10 degrees by then.

    Why did KDE's Konqueror pass up Mozilla with a team only 4-5% the size of Mozilla's?

    Hint: Mozilla is developed by fat, lazy Americans.

    Call me weird, but I *like* mozilla. It may have been slow in development, but it is getting there now. It is decently fast and stable at this point.

    However, if you had a problem with the project, why didn't you volunteer to help with it instead of just bashing it?

    Its 60 degrees here in Pittsburgh today, though this isn't normal weather. Its nice to have the office windows open, though.

  6. developer days? I'll pass on that one by z00r · · Score: 0
    Please explain:

    Why should I pay money to learn how to develop for Mozilla and thereby give my programming labor away for free to a profit-making corporation that can afford to pay me?

    Mozilla is not a true open source project--it's a trick to permit a corporation to exploit workers.

    The license keeps control in the hands of a corporation--that should be enough indication.

    Mozilla is bad for workers, bad for the public, and last time I checked it's pretty buggy as well.
    I'll pass on this one!
