    Will 1.0 ever be out, or are we waiting for 0.9.9.1 now?

    It's still the best OSS browser out there, though...

    Getting Mozilla news from Mozillaquest is like getting kernel development news from ZDNet - it just shouldn't exist.

    Linux users unite... Go vote for fullscreen (other platforms)

    How about "Linux users unite... Go implement fullscreen for Linux Mozilla" ?

    Why would anybody on Slashdot be worried about a spellchecker?

    More likely, why are you typing math equations into a weblog? That's not the sort of thing I'd advertise about myself.....

    > But then again why would I invest that much time to give a shit about a crappy DOA browser?

    Probably the same reason you would spend so much time reading this far down in the comments about the "crappy DOA browser" you hate so much and then taking the time to comment.

    I think you sir, may be in desperate need of a hug.

    MathML on by default! That is great!

    The old notation for math is so boring and obsolete:

    x^2 + 4x + 4 = 0

    I much prefer:

    <mrow>
    <mrow>
    <msup>
    <mi>x</mi>
    <mn>2</mn>
    </msup>
    <mo>+</mo>
    <mrow>
    <mn>4</mn>
    <mo>&InvisibleTimes;</mo>
    <mi>x</mi>
    </mrow>
    <mo>+</mo>
    <mn>4</mn>
    </mrow>
    <mo>=</mo>
    <mn>0</mn>
    </mrow>

    because it is XML and standardized and non-proprietary and cool. I want my <elite>XML</elite>!

    For this to really be worthwhile, we'd need to implement fingers:// (in the same spirit as https:// of course) since otherwise the finger interface can easily be hijacked in order to send phony key/checksum/signature information to match the phony package that was received.
