Mozilla's Major New Roadmap

kerz writes "mozilla.org today released a new version of it's famed roadmap, this time with some pretty major changes. First and foremost, they plan on ditching the large Mozilla suite in favor of Phoenix and Minotaur. Secondly, they have plans to change the milestone cycle to allow for more time to fix the Gecko layout engine to be smaller and more efficient. MozillaZine has the scoop..."

I think we've found what they are good at...

...I mean, the Mozilla folks are great at releasing roadmaps. Not so good at releasing software. They should probably just ditch their code altogether and just refine their roadmaps over and over again.

My Mozilla Roadmap..

1. Uninstall Modzilla
2. Update IE v.6
3. Relax knowing I have the fastest and most standard browser on the net.

The AC is right, though probably not for the reason he thinks. Those poor basts in the Middle East are probably freezing at night since we blew up their homes. The least we could do is send them some kindling so they can make campfires to keep warm. Keep up the good advice!

They should add MozillaWord

Why stop at MozillaExplorer and MozillaOutlook?

Old vs New

[stratjakt]

OLD:

cat /usr/src/ton_of_shit/* > mozilla

NEW:

tail mozilla > new_mozilla

THE FUTURE:

void main(int argc, char **argv)
{
system("iexplore.exe");

}

This is Slashdot in the year 2003. Everyone here runs Windows now. They keep a Linux box somewhere so they can be cool and say they're "into Linux".

Mozilla is SHIT.

This is a crock of garbage. Mozilla is a really huge, bloated piece of junk. When my mom recently bought a brand-spankin' new computer, powered by a Pentium IV and with 512 megs of RAM, I installed a "stable" version of Mozilla to test it out.

What can I say? It was the worst software I had ever run in my life. It was extremely slow and buggy. Nothing, even the simplest options, seemed to work properly. After about two minutes, it crashed the computer and actually screwed up the entire account. I had to log in through a different account, remove the messed up account, and do over three hours of work to recover the computer to the point where it worked properly again, as it even refused to start up properly after the installation of Mozilla.

At that point, I vowed never to use that piece of garbage application again... and I haven't. Mozilla is trash. Hey, when a program runs like it's on a 286 with 256k of RAM, when it's actually on a Pentium IV with 512 megs of RAM, you know the program is a piece of SHIT.

The efforts of all those who have worked on making this garbage into a horrifying reality were spent for nothing. They should be ashamed of themselves. I only pity the time they wasted doing this that could have been spent doing something PRODUCTIVE, like sweeping the streets.
