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."

Sorry, but I didn't find anything for 5506-D by VA Software (not in May 1999 or any other date). I didn't bother to google for it. Are you sure your link/information is correct?

Well, obviously.

Slashdot gives so much freakin' free publicity to Microsoft, that it's only obvious that there must be some ties. I mean, really, Slashdot's tagline is "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters." If Slashdot editors feel a primary interest of nerds is Linux/BSD/Unix related, well, fine, there's an argument for that. But if what Slashdot really wants to do is online advocacy--and that is what it really is all about--then some of the best work they could do would be just to ignore Microsoft completely. As it is, if an employee at Microsoft has a problem with indigestion, Slashdot posts a story: "MICROSOFT EMPLOYEE PURCHASES ANTACID--SUN RESPONDS BY INVESTING IN PIZZA HUT".

What's most interesting is how so many little Slashdot geeks read this stuff and then take action, DDOSing SCO's servers, signing people up for massive snailspam attacks. They're like a little pocket protector mob, asserting all the kinds of bullying and enforcing of their views on the world that happened to them in high school--and middle school--and elementary school.

So yes, Slashdot is Microsoft's bitch. But what is more interesting to me, is how many Slashdot readers are, by proxy, also Microsoft's bitches, as they loudly gather and proclaim otherwise. Quick! Let's all go read what Microsoft did now!

PL/1...now that brings me back.

Wow...PL/1. Brings me back to my college days at MIT, studying PL/1, FORTRAN, and LISP(!), and playing Zork on the old PDP machines in the AI labs.

Um, no... Microsoft is Mordor. (Duh!) Sun is Isengard.

Hmm. One hates to be pendantic... no, who'm I kidding, this is /.! One loves to be pendantic!

Redmond is Mordor, BillG is Sauron. You know:

One OS to rule them all
One OS to find them
One OS to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them
In the land of Redmond where the shadows lie...
