    ...of course, I'll use that new transfer protocol - TCP/IP over Flying Pigs.

    ...but I'll have to bundle up - my office just froze over.

    ..and maybe I won't have time - I think an attractive girl just mentioned that she may want to talk to me.

    Bombing them is one thing, but not giving them access to Mozilla? That's just mean.

    I think I like the way mozilla.org put it better:

    "stick a fork in it, it's done"

  5. Re:Modded up if bashing IE, down if bashing Linux by Paradise+Pete · · Score: 5, Funny
    Good work, moderators. I commend your pro-Linux stance!

    And yet in that post Linux is not mentioned once. Not even indirectly. Do you even know what Mozilla is?

  6. 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!
