'To take an internship at Netscape during the summer of 2001, Ross moved with his mother to a rented apartment near Netscape's offices in Mountain View, Calif. She drove him to work each morning.'"

    Haven't you been paying attention? Go and Google and you will learn that it was fixed in the mainline long ago, and you will also learn why it wasn't rolled in to FireFox 1.0.

    My question for you is why do the Slashbot continually claim that Firefox is so superior when it won't even render their favorite site correctly?

    If Slashdot doesn't render correctly how the hell can they claim that every site will work "just fine"? Remember, general users who need to switch to IE will only give something so many chances... If their favorite site doesn't render correctly under Firefox do you really think that they are going to believe you when you tell them that it is better?

    Why do I have the feeling Ross is Bill Gates's long lost son? If this was Greek Mythology: Bill would be Zeus and Ross would be Hercules. Some how Bill stuffed his mother 19 and odd so months ago
