    Who knows but on the topic of rolling your own. I can think of nothing better. Cigarettes are best when hand rolled, Cigars are too, why not browser made by you!

      Computers havent been around very long. The old people around now dont know how to use computers. I'm sure over time more people will start to say it.

  8. Phoenix rocks by bytor4232 · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    I am running Phoenix right now, release 0.1. For such a low release number, it sure is stable. I was able to play Java games with the Java plugin for Mozilla at Yahoo Games, as well as look at several heavy flash sites with the Mozilla Shockwave Flash plugin. It did crash twice at Geddy Lee's solo album site, and at ST:10 site. To be completely honest, those sites crash sometimes with Galeon and Mozilla with the same plugin, so I dont actually think its Phoenix's fault, and the sites didnt crash every time with Phoenix either.

    All in all, Phoenix is a great little browser especially for a 0.1 release. However if you do use it, it may crash at heavy sites such as Shockwave based sites. Very impressive for a 0.1 release. I'm loving it.

    Besides, the spinner and name just kick serious ass.

    I'm glad someone else is getting into the act, especially O'Reilly! Plus it looks pretty cool. New, but cool.

  10. Blubber is Blubber, no matter how you slice it. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    The phrase "Roll your own Browser" should be rephrased to "Roll your own Blubber"

    It makes no difference how one manipulates BLUI elements. In the end, Mozilla is still a giant mass of rotting whale blubber.
