      Apparently you are some kind of egomaniac who feeds his ego by presuming the superiority of the corporation at whose teat he sucks not realizing it is not one.

    This is a response to the first post, coming mere minutes after the original. The editors have to do a better job of picking mods, because whoever modded this down is fucking retarded - and probably fat and frustrated in their sexual lives.

  3. IE by khalido · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You know its been a couple of years since IE6 and mozilla is finally with 1.4 ahead of IE... well guess who is going to come out with a browser which will knock the stuffing out of Moz? Then it'll spend another 2 years catching up by which time Longhorn will render all non-ms apps useless. Of course by that time Linux will be finally usable so that should be all right. For those who think Moz bas been better than IE for a while now they are wrong just try using both on WinXP. although 1.4 seems to be pulling up front now.

    Yeah, quit buying inferior canadian shit. Buy something from a company that makes quality hardware AND takes the time to actually make drivers that don't suck cock like nvidia. Nuff said

    Mozilla is living proof that Eric Raymond's fundamental premise about Open Source being higher quality because more eyes are inspecting it. In fact, Netscape has had a horrendous time getting anyone other than its paid employees to look at the Mozilla source and improve it. The same thing applies to Linux, where it is known as the Alan Cox Effect: a thousand users waiting around for Alan Cox to fix a driver.

  7. Opera's still the one by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I still find Opera is better. Mozilla really hasn't improved much in the last 3 years, wheras Opera has been literally redefining the Internet Experience, yada yada...

  8. Re:THAT'S considered an acceptible release bug??? by Malc · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I would say it's a Mozilla problem. It used to caused BSOD's in the nVidia driver of my previous Win2K installation. I still don't trust quick launch to this day as it would leave Mozilla running too long and thus bring my system down. Mozilla is doing something funky that is tripping up on bugs in graphics drivers. As the only app on my system that had these problems, I would say it is Mozilla's responsibility to change its implementation. Come on: leave the ego at home and suck it up. There might be bugs in the graphics drivers, but the number of Mozilla users is so insignificant that the likes of ATI just won't care or be able to justify the cost of repairs.

  9. Same ol', same ol' by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    From the release notes: "Mozilla 1.4 contains thousands of bugfixes, including changes to improve performance, stability, web site compatability, standards support, and usability."

    They put this line in with every release, and yet I still find that Mozilla is slow and buggy, and it still doesn't render some pages correctly. (I know, I know, those pages probably aren't standards compliant, but IE displays them fine, so deal with it).
