Mozilla 1.2.1 Released
I shouldn't be allowed to work before coffee- I posted this at like 8:20 and must've forgotten to click that all important 'Save' button. Hey, Everyone's favorite web browser besides Chimera has released version 1.2.1. The fix includes security patches so it probably wouldn't hurt to snag it if you're running it.
Use a mirror!
(_)_)===(,,,)===D ~o ~o ~O I hope this post doesn't look too much like ASCII art...
haha, not only did i get FP, I posted it with Mozilla 1.2.1
Since it was such a small fix the reason why it took so long for the fixed version to be released is that Mozilla is a monstrosity, and it took SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long to build it.
That's why I use fast and small browsers, like this browser and another great browser on my systems.
People, we should be rejoicing here; this is excellent news!
Bugzilla has allowed developers from all over the world to collaborate via TCP/IP and a standard Web interface in hopes of creating a superior browser for users on all computing platforms.
The identification, analysis, design, implementation, and testing for this latest DHTML fix would simply not have been possible using anything other than Bugzilla. Bugzilla allows simple collaborative tools, regression testing, notes, attachments, and dependencies to be tracked automatically. As we all know from being coders, it's sometimes difficult to isolate problematic code for such a large-scale project as Mozilla is.
We should be proud that Linux 2.6 is utilizing the Bugzilla software as well for its bug tracking database. Without it, Linux would probably contain more holes than your proverbial slice of swiss cheese.
So, I'd like to give a hearty "Thank you" shout-out to the Bugzilla team for their great invention, and also mad props to the Mozilla developers for producing a fix so quickly.
I wish development were this easy on the Windows side of the fence!

The problem is ... even MS dont know when MS release a new version of IE.
side note: linux licks balls
is Slashdot is the cash cow for a group of friends that are all overweight, undersexed and generally not far from their mothers. They all live in BFE, Michigan, and any ambition is directed to the big tin of Oreos for Friday Night Anime.
Once you realize this, everything else makes sense.
(I'm kidding, laugh.)
Your computer's freezing and you're running XP, right? I think you just identified the problem.
I think the nifty feature of WORKING and actually displaying virtually every page on the web is good enough for most of us 'dumb sheep'.
Not taking a half hour to start up is handy too.
Tabs are fine, but 5 tabs full of broken pages is pretty much useless.
Yeah, yeah, it must be standards. Mozilla is right and the whole world is wrong. I still say OSS needs to adapt the 'embrace and extend' model if they want to make some real headway.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
People:
We are for superior, free software. But so long as U.S. imperialism refuses to give up its arrogant and unreasonable demands and its scheme to extend aggression, the only course for us as Open Source pioneers is to remain determined to go on fighting. Not that we are warlike. We are willing to stop the war at once and leave the remaining questions for later settlement. However, U.S. imperialism is not willing to do so. All right then let the fighting go on. However many years U.S. imperialism wants to fight, we are ready to fight right up to the moment when it is willing to stop, right up to the moment of complete victory for the Open Source and Free Software peoples.
Down with Microsoft; long live Free Software!

So confrontational of you, sir. Ziprasidone could help... or perhaps psychotherapy. Seek help.
It's a shame she's ugly as fuck.

So Rob is basically admitting that he doesn't even monitor the homepage that frequently. No wonder there are so many dupes.
Just go to a command prompt and type "format c:".
