Mozilla 1.0 Release Parties

Screaming Lunatic writes "With the release of Mozilla 1.0 almost here, the open source Mozilla community is planning a bunch of parties all over the world. You can choose to attend a party already planned somewhere in the world or start up a party in your own neck of the woods. The main party will be at 8pm Wednesday, June 12, 2002 at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco." Currently 37 parties listed, but many of them look awfully lonely... none near Ann Arbor yet ;)

Tokyo party

[cxreg]

I see there's one in Tokyo, but I'm disappointed.

It should be called "MOZILLA DESTROYS TOKYO IN MASSIVE RELEASE" or something!

Well,

[MonkeyBot]

...any reason to party is a good reason! I can see it now--RMS drunk on vodka dressed up as Godzilla, Linus up on the turntables spinnin' some wicked trance music, AND NO WOMEN TO BE SEEN FOR MILES!

* Drool over me 'cause I'm pretty...

Don't worry, I tend to only drool over the girls that AREN'T cocky and self absorbed.

Humor: Party and release dates

[Seth Finkelstein]

Oh, this is mean, it's ungrateful ... but I can't resist ...

How many people will show up "fashionably late"? :-)

Everybody can have a Party...

[zulux]

With Mozilla's Javascript pop-up blocker and pornzilla features, everybody can have their own party in their pants on 'release' day.

Spam Bait

[Codex The Sloth]

All those email addresses in spam friendly format! Just think of the fun!

My Mozilla's Icons are nothing like the Explorer

[quantaman]

With apologies to Willian Shakespeare, or anyone with taste for that matter

My Mozilla's Icons are nothing like the Explorer;
China is far more red than her licence red;
If button mean down, why then she come back up?
If html be wires, broken wires jut one of her engine;
I have seen webpages advertising other browsers;
But no such promotions I see in her windows;
And in some MS java there is more delight;
Than in the broken applets that from my browser reeks;
I love to browse her tabs, yet well I know
That some Flash hath a far more pleasing look;
I grant I never saw OS X though;
My Mozilla, when she browsers, slumps through links;
And yet, by Linux, I think my browser as rare
As any I belied with false compare;

We'll be playing pin the tail on CowboyNeal, after that Frost the Pist, and at night we'll be bobbing for Grunion. The person with the least karma in the Troll Games will be given the lowest latency Internet Access in the world for 1 hour and unlimited posting privileges.

Are there any other people that would like to join the list? Please send submissions to slashdottroll at yahew dot com

Mozilla on the beach party

[Anonymous Coward]

After your beach party would you fine fellowes like to please come to my house and see my beowulf clusters and perhaps play some of my favoirte Linus game, DOOM? I promise it is a fun game in which you run throuug h a maze and shoot monsters and evil humans. There will not be girls, as I perspire a lot when I see one.

Netscape business model

[Anonymous Coward]

Don't forget the basic Netscape model: degrade your brownser from release to release until it is unusable, and then look at your main rival (which actually dares to improve its project between releases) and launch utterly frivolous lawsuits to punish them for the outrage of making their product better while you make yours worse.

I'm not going home alone...

[kenthorvath]

I've already got my pickup lines ready:

Hey baby, wanna see my lizard?

Let interface at port 69...

Wanna exchange IP's. Better hurry - I'm dynamic!

On second thought, I'd better resort to large quantities of alcohol...

Re:Tokyo party -- vs. mechaExplorer

[igottheloot]

ROOK! It's MOZIRRA!

Re:Thank you Fiver-rah

[Fiver-rah]

Indeed. Because the point of my post was clearly to try and advance feminist ideals, a personal passion for which slashdot is the ideal forum, not to rant about a personal gripe with some people's attitudes.

I'm so impressed by your use of pointless jargon and unfounded meaningless statistics that I've decided to switch from Linux, the operating system which causes men to oppress, rape, and kill women around the globe, to the more female-friendly MS Windows, which oppresses, rapes, and kills people around the globe regardless of gender.

Cheerio, troll.

I've gotta get new glasses

[r_j_prahad]

When I first scanned the headlines, I thought it said "Mozilla Release Panties", and I started wondering whether they'd be new or used, and maybe I should go see if Opera's gonna be giving out sequined thongs with their new release.

IE, of course, would be boxer shorts with an indelible racing stripe.
