Phoenix and Minotaur Get New Names

blazerw11 writes "Phoenix and Minotaur have been officially renamed to Firebird for the browser and Thunderbird for the mail client. Interestingly, they're both named after cars I often see in my neighbors' lawns. At least these cars were pretty fast before they were put up on cinder blocks. Personally, I like the names and the browser is great. I'm writing this with one of the last Phoenix Nightlies."

    For me its the Gremling or nothing. Now that was one hot car (especially when it exploded). Course, I really don't know why you would ever name a car model Gremling (even if it was appropriate).

    Now, excuse me as I get modded off-topic.

    Jesus of Nazareth did not die so we could enjoy eggs and chocolate bunnies!


    Sure he did. That, and to save us from our sins, but who's sparing the details?

    Well, he should have then.

    Mmmm... chocolate bunnies.

    The Mazda RX-8 is based on a new rotary design, and appears to be a rather powerful and reliable engine with lots of praise. Hopefully it won't crap out after 20,000 miles (only time will tell, though).

    No one has yet proven he in fact was crucified. Although I do believe Jesus lived, I have seen nothing more than pure folklore as proof he was crucified. Even the shroud of Turin was carbon-dated to the mid-11th century, right?

    do you really run "the hurd"? That seems a bit odd, are you a developer for it as well? Because you certainly can't be a beta tester for it, as any OS that only supports 1GB partitions can't be beta yet...
