Life After Netscape For Mozilla Developers

An anonymous reader submits "MozillaZine has an article up on life after Netscape for Mozilla developers formerly employed there. Several developers are now employed by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation in full or part-time positions, others have been hired by IBM and Daniel Glazman was contracted by Lindows to write web publishing application Nvu. Another group of developers have joined together to form Mozilla Consulting to work on customized Mozilla enhancements. The amount of interest by non-Netscape companies in Mozilla is surely a positive sign for the future of the project."

    Seriously, moderation and karma be damned. I'm not afraid to call a spade a spade.

    We live in an IE world. Nobody uses Nutscape. Business may have web servers with content that only works on IE, but the business are where the money is at. At idealism or free choice and all that crap doesn't mean a thing when faced with the almighty dollar.

    I WISH I could use Linux and play NetHack all day and use Opera and never have a problem, but the thick stench of reality dictates otherwise.

      That thick stench you fear to be reality is in fact merely due to the current location of your head.

    ASK RED HAT CEO MATTHEW SZULIK
    Question for Mr. Szulik (+5, Interesting)

    Mr. Szulik,

    After fucking the very community that made you successful up the ass, do you wipe the shit off your dick? Or do you just make us suck it dirty?

    Thanks,
    A Red Hat Fan.

    Red Hat Fan:

    We have found that an ass-to-mouth approach gives our customers the most choice. They can either suck my dick clean and continue on with a non-shitty dick, or they can swirl the feces around in their mouth like a stinky brown Scope. Additionally, I am changing my name effective immediately.

    Thank you,

  7. The Editor war is over : Vim won! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    After decades of war, it is finally over. Emacs has lost and is dying a bloody death!

    The Marketshare of emacs has dropped to just 14%.

    In fact, its not even Second place anymore, its been overthrown by Kate, the Kde Advanced Text Editor, which has 19% of the market.

    Emacs is dying a horrible fate, it is outdated, still uses an Athena GUI while VIM has ports to the Qt and GTK toolkits. With less and less distrobutions shipping emacs and opting for VIM as default, who knows what will happen.

    Emacs is very sick, if it is to survive at all it will be with Debian Zealots, along with the gnu/hurd and Aging LISP workstations.

    It is a sad they for the Church of Emacs, and its a cold cold day in hell.

      WTF?! I gave a link directly to the original post that was copied word for word. Are you too lazy to actually click on the link? Or are did I use too big of a word for you when I called it "plagarism"? Let me rephrase it for you with fewer syllables so that you can hopefully comprehend it: this guy did not write his own post - he copied what someone else wrote. Understand?

      Moderators, this "anonymous coward" is most likely the original poster who copied the Mozillazine comment. Anybody out there who is swayed by this poster and doesn't want to click on the link that I provided, click on the link to the Mozillazine article in the original story and look for comment #9. You will see that the original post is plagarized from there.
