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."

    Actually, I'm quite suspicious that he stole that joke from me. If you go to the Mozillazine article, you see I made the joke about the Pinto over an hour before the /. article was run. True, he changed it a bit -- but I at least should get some of the karma points. ;-)

    Are you aware of how they figure out the horsepower of an engine? They measure the torque. Then they run that torque figure through an equation to calculate horsepower. You can't have one without the other, but you can have not enough torque when you need it. Torque is what you feel when you are driving, not horsepower. More specificall, in a truck you would want torque in the low end of the the rpm-band, that's where it is helpful.
