Jazilla Milestone 1 Released
mcbridematt writes "Many of the long time Slashdot readers will remember the Jazilla project to rewrite the Mozilla browser in Java. It went into hibernation in 2000 and I took it over last August. I have completely rewrote the browser which now follows a more Mozilla-like architecture. The Result: Jazilla Milestone 1 has been released. Download it from here. No prizes for guessing that it's Alpha software." Read on below for a list of what Jazilla can do, so far.
"Significant (implemented) features include:
- chrome:// support
- JavaScript implemented for the GUI thanks to the Mozilla.org Rhino engine. HTML Scripting coming.
- GUI in part, uses XUL and W3C DOM
- Written in 100% Java
- Open Source
- Uses the NetBrowser renderer, which is actually based on Jazilla-classic work."
I'm waiting for fuckzilla, written in brainfuck!
Yeah, really! I mean they don't even have it as an Active-X plugin - how lame is that?!

Combine the speed and java with the speed of Mozilla.... I bet you can reboot into windows, run IE, and get 3 first posts before Jazilla starts up.
Hee. I told him it would get him laid, then forgot to mention it was a joke. A year and a half later, it was just too funny not to let him keep running with it. Shh! My bad!
mozilla is slow. java is slow. jazilla is slow^2
I wonder if Intel is backing this project. They desparately need a reason to sell high-end chips.

Does it have support for Java applets, or do you need to install the Java plugin to have applets? :P
What time is it/will be over there? Check with my iPhone app!
I think Mozilla is slow enough, thank you.
It allows you to close tricked-into Goatse windows before they are finished. Goatsephobia has changed they way people browse. Slow is in.

Ok grandpa it might be time to upgrade your 386sx to some more modern processor. You will be shocked at how much faster late 90's technology is, and if you want to live on the edge you might even try some system built in the last few years. You will find that any of those run Mozilla and or Java great. Oh yeah, while you are at it you will find that 16MB of RAM won't cut it anymore, you should probably get around 512MB. The good news is that you can get a system like that for under a grand. I do realize that living on social security makes it tough to buy a new system every 20 or so years, but just stop buying so much crap from those late night tv ads, and you should have enough saved up in no time.

I mean they do have libpr0n :)

But wouldn't the second and third be second and third posts?
Imagine this uncommon but very possible setup.
You are working on a weekend all by yourself, you get the average of one phone call every 3 hours and nobody EVER comes into the office on weekends but you, the poor tech support guy.
You work for a small company that uses a Netware 5 file server for the firewall. (Remember, Netware 5 is Java based)
You don't have admin access.
The server doesn't have the console locked.
The server IS the firewall, and therefore can be outside of it.
You REALLY want to get your dose of porn, which the firewall wont let you do.
The firewall is unlocked........
Yep, time to load up a JAVA browser on the file server for your own porn surfing pleasure.
The preceding post was not a Slashvertisement.
I guess there's probably no option to turn off Java support.
Troll signs (à la "worm signs" in Dune):
- dogmatic offensive pseudotruths (1st line);
- meaningless insult, liberally sprinkled with swear words (2nd line);
- main troll bait, hoping that mozilla users will feed him (3rd line);
- deadbrain conclusion (4th line).
Leave him alone and do not feed him, please.
I believe that if people want to experiment, they should.

. But i wont be using it since Firebird runs fine
It can't hurt to have a web browser besides you database.
Does anybody know if there isn't already a database name JFirebird??? Cause if nobody bothered to check it out,I should say there's another lawsuit coming pretty soon....;o)
1. No sig. 2. ???? 3. Profit!!!
If you really felt this way, you'd be running nothing but hand-optimized assembly language programs in batch mode. No GUIs, not even a CLI.
Something tells me you're not doing that, though.
or, install MSIE6.0
"It's as silly as if someone were to make a clone of windows in Java and called in Jindows"
Or a clone off windows in linux and called it Lindow... oh, wait...
Hmm, I had already forgotten that there was a database with the same name.
Someone is wrong on the Internet!
Why do I have a strange urge to try and embed it in an applet?
Even so, I find that either Mozilla (on Linux) or IE (on XP) is entirely capable of reducing a Pentium 4 with plenty of memory into a quivering heap of dung.
You know that you can disable JavaScript window pop-ups from the Mozilla control panel? That way when you're using your dad's PC in his study (oops...I mean your "coworkers' PC" in their "offices") to surf for amputee fetish porn, your poor little P4 PC won't be brought to its knees with 187 simultaneous pop-up browser windows offering cheap Viagra and kiddie porn. Now it's time for you to fuck off. Go on...fuck off. Good boy.
