Neowin interviews Ben Goodger, Justin Frankel

mr_tommy writes "Neowin has had the pleasure of talking to two prominent figures in the I.T. world. First, Ben Goodger, chief developer of the excellent browser Firefox, and secondly, Justin Frankel, creator of Winamp and many other products for Nullsoft. We've got Ben talking about Firefox, XUL, and the future at Mozilla; equally, Justin talks (humorously) about his past, Winamp, AOL, music, and what he's up to at the moment. Also, read on for some of his projects he thought about doing when he left Winamp, including setting up an interesting alternative to Windows 2000 based on Open Source software, similar to ReactOS."

    LASTMEASURE: THE TRUE OPEN SOURCE ALTERNATIVE
    Zeikfried - Gnaa, Nigeria.
    In a world where one can get classed as +5, informative for simply being able to use google, and +5 funny for out and out slander against the Microsoft corporation, one could be forgiven for branding the elitist unfunny world of slashdot, and yes, the open source community as a whole, as a floundering stagnating mess.
    But in spite of the high cretin concentration throughout open source, but all is not yet lost, for there is a small highly skilled team of individuals determined to utilise the full potenial that this community offers, the dynamic darkies of the Gay Nigger Associaton of America.

    "This is degenerative behaviour, please stop." is the rallying cry for many in the OSDN camp (now a partly owned subsidiary of the KKK). But what IS LastMeasure? And how did it come to provoke such furious bouts of procrastination and anal masturbation among the forced celibates that bless our members with their -1, troll crowns? Reporter for Reuters Nigeria, and 4 time winner of the Golden Sphincter, Gary Niger, was sent in to investigate.
    "I must say I was pleasently surprised", enthused Gary with his trademark lisp. "I expected a band of negro savages, or worse still, a sourceforge project. But what I found was a group of individuals determined to help spread their ideals of sodomy and niggerdom to the masses, and I must say, though it flys in the face of my trademark press neutrality, I was instantly hooked."
    "But of course, in spite of my new found taste for the holy nigger seed, I would not deviate from my task of reporting the facts on LastMeasure. And it is, quite simply, nigtastic. Penisbird and goat-see have lovingly hand-crafted a javascript masterpiece, a triumph for capitalism, as readers of the communist open source "bastion" slashdot now have their gay porno viewing habits broadcasted to their colleagues and classmates, hopefully this will encourage them to finally stop eating and start working, and get their worthless jobs back from the curry eaters. Godspeed GNAA."

    With LastMeasure (currently at version 3.3), the proud patriots of the GNAA have dealt a crippling blow to the communist practices of the google toolbar and it's anti-american ways of blocking the victory of capitalism and the free market over terrorism.

    With LastMeasure, the dying world of the internet shock site has gained new vigour, allowing the benevolent rulers of our collective digital universe, Bob Goatse and Tubgirl, to be brought to many desktops throughout /.

    Wherever there is an unpatched YaBB clone fleecing money off ill-prepared webadmins. There is LastMeasure.

    Wherever there is a poorly prepared IRC server being used as a shell for the important task of bringing camwhoring and masturbation to the free world. There is LastMeasure.

    Wherever GNU/Linux is not being used to its FULL POTENTIAL. There is LastMeasure.

    Wherever a +5 is struck on the head of those who would use it against the greater good. There is LastMeasure.

    Whenever these ENEMIES OF FREEDOM gather, there will be LastMeasure, and the proudly gay negros of the Gay Nigger Association of America, your TRUE OPEN SOURCE ALTERNATIVE.

    FAQ:

    Q. I am a proud supporter of open source, and would like to be a regular user of LastMeasure. However I can't seem to gain the full effect of your wonderful software, what could I be doing wrong?
    A. While your zealotism is most welcome, it would appear that you are using the incorrect browser. Firefox and Opera are both major offenders, the GNAA recommend the Microsoft(TM) corporations Internet Explorer(TM) to halt the spread of communism, and to be able to use our software

  3. Seriously worried about Goodger by SimianOverlord · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'm not sure Ben Goodger is the type of guy I want running my favourite browser. His homepage (and the Firefox Texturiser default bookmark page) offers his extension "Magpie" (I'm not giving the URL) which should more accurately be called "MagPorn" or "Shagpie" perhaps.

    It is an extension to ease allow the downloading of particular file extensions to time stamped folders...particularly streamlined for the downloading of vast amounts of images from online picture galleries. Now what do you think *THAT'S* going to be used for?? Hmmm...I wonder...NOT!

    Mr Goodger is helping people degrade women. He is feeding abnormal psyches by helping them amass vast collections of pr0n. Women instinctively know which men are using porn. That's why you can't get a girlfriend. It's obvious in the way you look at them.

    Goodger is helping the violation of women, and I for one think it's morally degrading and physically disgusting. I don't know him, perhaps he's merely a naive, sweet young man. But he should stop development of this psychologically damaging extension.

    Neowin has had the pleasure of talking to two prominent figures in the I.T. world. First, Ben Goodger, chief developer of the excellent browser Firefox, and secondly, Justin Frankel, creator of Winamp and many other products for Nullsoft.

    Aside from occasionally coming up with some cute, trendy toy to piss off AOL, could someone explain how exactly Justin Frankel is "prominent" in the "IT world"?
