    For just pennies a day, you could help IE get the help it needs to combat virii. Weekly updates will come with a picture of the browser you are supporting.... Please help.

    A good way to keep the downloads high is to release a 0.9 0.9.1 and 0.9.2 version within a week.

    My money is on either Microsoft Trying to buy it (yeah like that would go though) or AOL. If AOL tried I would fall out of my seat laughing.

    Did you even read the about screen?

    Thanks to the planning behind this foundation, after the Microsoft Empire falls, there will only be 10 years of anarchy instead of 100. In its place, an even greater (but planned) empire will replace it. That new republic will be open source.

    Rumor also has it there is a second foundation, located at Slashdot End in the galaxy...

    Ok, I know how to switch my wife, but how the hell did you switch your mother? I was planning on doing so for years.

    Stupid joke I know, please ignore: ;-)

  9. What about Cello ? by CodeArtisan · · Score: 1, Funny

    While I am a big Mozilla fan (and I'm posting this from Firefox) I was a little disappointed that Cello's 11th birthday was overlooked by Slashdotters on June 8th this year. Back in my youth, Cello vs. Mosaic was the hot topic of debate.

    Nope - it's not buggy.

    I've yet to encounter a single bug in my current Firefox installation.

    To get there however, I had to create a whole new profile, because the old profile would cause bugs in the 0.9 (which I've subsequently updated to 0.9.2)

    It even shows slews and slews of large pictures without failing now, which is very good for my ahem... studies !
