Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8
batb0y writes "The Mozilla Foundation has published its Mozilla Application Suite transition plan, confirming that there will be no official Mozilla 1.8 release. There will be a 1.7.6 release to be maintained by the Mozilla Foundation. All future suite versions from the Foundation will be minor updates only." Don't despair, however, as there is already a community effort underway to continue development.
Did someone say "fork" ?

I guess now we now for sure where the foundanion is headed. The new Netscape can probably take the place of a lot of the suite.
Congratulations, you completely bastardized the intelligence of the typical mid-twenties slashdotter by defecating all over our spelling and grammar rules with a single sentence.

Our primary concern in the short term is with being able to ship a SeaMonkey front end on
top of a Gecko
That doesn't sound like a developer's list, that sounds like a post on alt.sex.zoophilia.

Is there some great advantage that I'm not thinking of to having a giant bundled suite of apps, rather than five or six individual downloads?
You get it in one giant download, instead of five or six measly, unsatisfactory ones...

Don't tell me you've never heard of Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and their friend Foundanion!

I thought of it more as one of Santa's Reindeer. On Prancer! On Dasher! On Foundanion!
William of Ockham had no beard. The most likely explanation is that it was chewed off by squirrels every morning.
Can someone please tie this into a Google conspiracy for me? I don't understand /. articles unless they somehow involve Google taking over the world.
It's not big, but it's clever!
You mean "all-too-true," but you get extra points for proper use of hyphens.
There's more to life than grammar jackass, try getting laid some day.
A few problems here: one missing comma ("grammar , jackass": direct address), and one comma splice (before "try getting laid": should be its own sentence). Also, you mean "someday," not "some day."
P.S. I get laid plenty, my friend, though I don't mean that to sound egotistical or ... asswipey. The copyediting thing is just for fun.
Shop as usual. And avoid panic buying.
Actually AFAIK it is:

Or I could just be talking out of my ass.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
I can type perfectly well using proper grammar with your girlfriend under the desk s*****....... OH JESUS CHRIST!!!*!*! YES YES YEEEEEHHHHSSSSssss
Okay, that was inflamitory.
Sometimes at night I imagine the darkness is filled with horrible things with too many teeth, like Julia Roberts.
grammar jackass, try
"grammar, jackass; try"
There is more to life than grammar; for example, there's punctuation.
i'm going to bet a windows user switched to linux that uses pico and never touched sed,awk,egrep,etc
we have a few of them here where i work.
