...release candidates of the latest browser are getting closer by the day.

Isn't that kind of how time works?

  Normally, yes, but not always. For example, take Duke Nukem Forever...

  Yeah, that's a bug. They're working on it.

Rumor has it they also tried to change the name of the site to http://www.firelizard.com, but the technical barriers were too high to overcome.

They should instead say something like "Free software", "Free to get, free to use", anything that doesn't have the bad vibe that comes with "free download"

I'm sure posting a big flashing "Free as in Beer" graphic will boost it's popularity with the college crowd.

I hope Microsoft never decide to copy that idea.

Just glad by A_Non_Moose · 2004-09-01 10:23 · Score: 5, Funny

I'm just glad the got rid of that damn "find toolbar".

Dear $deity in heaven, why would they screw up a perfectly good feature like find as you type?

Insult to injury was when typing in passwords to my Novell server, the new find bar proudly displayed my password in plain view. Thank the same $deity no one was around, and my monitor faces a wall.

Why didn't they just add a Clippy type character that can speak through the voice software in windows:
"It looks like you are typing in "$password" as your password, would you like some help typing in your passwords?"

Whoever thought that find bar up deserves 10 lashes with a cat5 o' 9 tails.
