1 Million Firefoxes in 4 Days

Dodger73 writes "The Mozilla guys would have liked to reach 1 Million downloads of the Firefox 1.0 pre-release version within ten days of its release. After four days, the download counter now shows 1,006,060 downloads, surpassing the 10^6 mark more than twice as fast as they desired! Congratulations!"

I seriously doubt that all 1 million users were eskimos. Can I get a +4 informative for that too?

Re:Firefox vs. Windows update

[Anonymous Coward]

You obviously don't understand much about how Windows actually opperates. I can assume the same for your knowledge of Linux as well (assuming you another one of the slashdot Linux zealot majority).

All Hail Slashdot - The Amiga users off our day.

You Did Not

Everyone knows Slashdotters dont get booty, especially not from a "firefox." You're character in an RPG getting booty does'nt count.

Here's a better link (note: there's a click-counting system in effect, if you really don't want to give me any clicks, go to www.mozilla.org/products/firefox)

Karma burn

Mod me down, I don't care.

But the irony of calling a man "pro-life" who has sent over 1000 soldiers (and counting) to their death is too much to bear.

wow... you really are insane, aren't you?

Re:Karma burn

Yo Zordas, I wasn't going to reply to such an obvious nut job, but then I noticed you spelled my name wrong. Twice. And that REALLY ticked me off.

So, in case you have forgotten, terrorists had nothing to do with Iraq, until AFTER the US invaded. Attacking Iraq has not made anybody safer, it has only presented bin Laden with a multitude of recruitment opportunities.

But that is probably too nuanced a distinction for you. In your little world view, Iraq, Iran, Afghanastan, hell, they are all Muslims. They MUST be terrorists.

Whee that was fun. But now it is time for me to get back to my flag burning, America hating, baby kicking daily routine. Cheers mate.

It's only Extremeists that have the attitude that everyone should convert to Islam or die, thats not the belief of the general Muslim population.
In the same way its only the christian fundamentalists who believe that if you don't except Jesus as your personal saviour you will burn forever in Hell.
The majority of people on both sides are perfectly happy for both religions to coexist. By attacking the Muslim population you only persuade more of them to side with the extemeists. If instead we could be tolerant of other religions and cultures the majority of people would see the extremeists for what they are and they would have very limited support and cease to be a threat to anyone.

Instead of thinking "They hate us, they hate our freedoms, they would kill us all if they had a chance", why not think, "There are a few people on both sides with extreme beliefs but most people just want to get along"

You're an idiot. Muslims will not kill you just for existing, they do not hate our freedom, or just feel like hurling themselves in the World Trade Center along with a bunch of innocents because they had some bad kabobs. They do these things because of the world's negative involvement in their lives, because of our support of Israel, a great little theocracy that bulldozes people's houses and kills children with rubber bullets. They do so because we constantly insist on friendly governments while supporting monsters like the Shah, Saddam, and the Saudi royal family. They do so because when their doors are kicked in at night and they are dragged out of their homes the men are wearing US-made uniforms and equipment. They do so because they don't want US soldiers in their holy land, how pissed would Catholics be if there were Turkish troops positioned around Rome. To kill every terrorist you'd have to kill everyone. Everyone! Woman and children, old men and teenagers. You'd have to kill young girls wearing chadors because we allowed the extermists in Iran to gain power after we installed the Shah. You'd have to kill young Turkish men sipping tea and playing soccer, you'd have to slaughter and pillage and salt the earth of every Muslim country, from the tip of Africa to Malaysia. You'd have to kill nearly a Billion people. And then you would have killed every possible terrorist, every future terrorist. It's not a matter of kill X number of people and the rest will go quietly; it's a matter of making it so that terrorism isn't the only avenue of reform and change. We need a better world. But, you'd rather be Charlemagne with his mountains of skulls, who knew as he lay dying that his empire would never last.

Sorry, but this chart says otherwise.
