      Based on how long it took 1.0 to come out, I'd say at least three years. With about two thousand smaller releases in between, all of which Slashdot will report on.

    Mozilla is dying!

    Today in the news Mozilla has been shown to be decreasing by 99% of 0.0001% leading experts in the field to believe that Mozilla is, in fact, dying. Richard Stallman, founder of the upstart Free Software Foundation was quotae as saying, "It's GNU/Mozilla damn you GNU/Mozilla!!!!!" Eric Raymond was reached for comment but he shot both of our journalists dead proclaiming, "Git offa mah propherty you city boy!" Cmdr. Taco and Hemos were unavailable for comment as they are currently in an undisclosed location doing ungodly things to CowboyNeal who by all accounts, has been dressed up in a leather and latex montage and forced to consecrate with small asian monkeys.

    In other news Linus Torvalds, founder of the Loonix software movement was found chastising pigeons in a NYC subway earlier today. He claimed they were in it with the queers. Bill Gates commented, "That's what happnes when you do not charge for your product, dimentia sets in and *WHAM!* you're gone." He then added, "Besides 640k should be enough for anybody."

  20. cnet review by MatriXOracle · · Score: 4, Funny
    CNet's "review"
    shows the following as a boxscore for mozilla.

    CNET rating: 7
    The good: Fast; stable; free; includes full-featured e-mail client.

    The bad: Incompatible with some sites built for Internet Explorer; chat client doesn't work with the big commercial IM systems, including ICQ, Yahoo IM, AOL IM, and Windows Messenger.

    The bottom line: Until Netscape 7 comes out, Mozilla is the best free alternative to Microsoft IE. And it's faster, to boot.


    Y'know, when the only bad things they can say about your browser is
    1)it is standards-compliant; and
    2)no, IRC does not work with AIM

    then I think you've done a pretty damn good job. Congratulations!
