Who will notice?

When we're all playing Halo 2 on November 9th! Pick another release date!

They did it to reduce the server load. :)

Who actually goes to a release party for a browser? Sounds like the same group of people that have fantasy battles with foam swords at my school . . .

I'm just going b/c there is a 2d4 chance I'll get laid there.

First Post

... with Firefox 1.0 RC1 It counts for something, doesn't it?

Actually, we're already playing the French version

In the French version of Halo 2, your main weapons are a very hard baguette and a big white flag.

Thanks, I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waiter.

Actually, the French already HAVE halo2

[koi88]

...if I remember a previous story on slashdot...

And don't underestimate the power of a hard baguette.

3000 GHz? Sweet!

[Anonymous Coward]

I use Mozilla, only gripe is it can take minutes to load large (>= 1mb) XML document trees on a 3000ghz cpu.

Awesome! Where can I get a CPU of this speed?

Re:Will it support

[koi88]

I never gotta the bottom of whether it's ./ or FF fault. Anyone know?

How dare you. It's never Mozilla's, FF's or slashdot's fault. Stick to the usual suspects, please:

• Microsoft
• George Lucas
• patent attorneys
• SCO

So if you run Windows, it must be Microsoft's fault, if you run Linux, it's SCO's fault (the code I borrowed from them is incredibly buggy).
If you use BSD, it's because BSD is dying.
If you use Max OS X, either George Lucas' ruined it or some patent attorney is to blame (I'm not sure on the last one).

Re:Of course they did.

[Anonymous Coward]

I'm tempted to mod you up just for using the word "recalcitrant."

Oh, damn, now I can't....

Re:Will it support

[kentmartin]

Brilliant - that works a treat and is far better than my "reload until the page renders right" solution :)

Many thanks,

Kent.

Re:Actually, we're already playing the French vers

[Anonymous Coward]

French culture is not exactly worth preserving, so that might be called stupid.

Unless you enjoy shitting while balancing over a hole in the ground after eating slugs and pig brains.

Re:I'm running it from debian unstable

[pipingguy]

...dictionnary search.

That was funny.

Firefox still sometimes effs up Slashdot's rendering. Or is it the other way around?

Re:Actually, we're already playing the French vers

[legojenn]

You know, there was this little thing called the revolutionary war, and if the French hadn't "rescued" us we'd all be eating fish & chips and biscuits.

You say that like it's a bad thing.....

[Fizzlewhiff]

I could go for some mushy peas. Damn French.

To be honest, I wouldn't pay much attention to what the moderators think. When I moderate, I don't pay much attention to what I think either.
