    Not to be a troll or anything, but why does slashdot deam every minor release of Firefox to be worthy of a story? Its no different from any other OSS.

    You just answered your own question. Slashdot deems every minor release of every OSS thing to be incredible breaking news.

    I can't count the number of times I've seen front page Slashdot posts that essentially boil down to:

    ThingYouNeverHeardOf 0.6.3 Released

    Slashdot user Doofus reports that ThingYouNeverHeardOf 0.6.3 has been released. Many cool new features in this version, such as the blarglefier tool no longer causing a crash when run under Ubuntu 4.6. Licensed under the GPL! Is this the end for Microsoft?

    Half the time, they never even give you a hint as to what ThingYouNeverHeardOf is supposed to be used for. Is it an email client? Is it an IDE? Is it a MIDI playback library? Does it cook my eggs? Who knows.

    I hear the new RC has a grammar and spell check that automatically fixes slashdot before it loads...

    The worst one is when you're downloading some stuff with IE.

    That's not the worst one! This is far worse (NSFW).
