MozCorp Announces Firefox 1.5 Extension Competition

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the embrace-and-extend dept.

vain gloria writes "The Mozilla Corporation has launched a competition to Extend Firefox by developing an innovative new extension for the soon-to-be-released latest version of their popular browser. The competition runs until January 6th and the three big prizes are Foxified Alienware PCs. Keen developers may want to grab a copy of the 1.5 Release Candidate and get a head start. Better check your passports first though, as those outside the US, EU and Canada (or in Québec) are ineligible to enter."

    Actually Quebec is like little girl that was lost in the woods, France said wtf it's too cold we want the islands! So Canada said whatever we'll feed her, then Quebec grew to feed herself and in the start of her teen years began to wonder why she should be working in her adopted parents shop.

    now for the past 15 years it has been 2 out of 3 tech competitions don't let her enter(I know!)...
    is it because there are no french windows installations that don't use those screwed up french keyboards?
    is it because the tech companies don't want to be bothered to pay to have rules translated?
    is it because outsiders keep calling their trademark food a word that rhymes with time instead of a word that rhymes with gin?
    is it because the girls are so hot here that no one believes that guys can be really great at coding and all that crap and not be geeks?
    is it because there is a town in her that allows people to wear white socks with black shoes?
    is it because there is no oil in her?

    ...so she began whoring. and everyone in her loves their little whore, but the rest of the family... oh boy... until they find a way to get in her without getting caught... they would but they're afraid of being accused of you-know-what so they just watch the neighbours (well there's only one neighbour really) visit their little whore sister and mutter their bitter comments in their rockers on the porch sucking on their diet coke and white rhum (beurk).

    will she catch an std? (don't think so) will she find a guy and settle down? a girl maybe? (nothing wrong with that) who knows, but whatever it is I hope she decides to get into those competitions!!! blah.
