This is my opinion. To make sure you don't steal it, it's covered by the DMCA.
The first prophet was called Netscape and he was mighty, leading the people serenely through the internet. But the people forsook the prophet and the prophet turned to evil ways. In time, the first prophet was corrupted by evil in the form of the giant ISP known as Baal or AOL.
The second prophet was a false prophet called Internet Explorer, which hid its true nature from the people until it was nearly too late since it was sent out by the great deceiver, Microsoft. The great deceiver tried to limit their access to the internet and to turn them aside from anything that the deceiver did not make money off of.
The people groaned and labored to feed the great deceiver, but alas, nothing could fill his belly. The great deciever blessed the heresey of having the browser integrated into the operating system. Loudly did the people cry unto the computer gods for a new prophet to lead them, but the gods were angry since the had given the people Linux. The people ignored Linux and chose to follow the great deceiver.
Finally, the computer gods softened their hearts and heard the cries of the people and sent a third prophet. The people are fortunate that they have not been abandoned for straying from the path of Linux. Mighty indeed is the penguin. A new prophet has been sent to lead us out of the valley of the shadow of ActiveX.
Halleujah!
The heavens opened, the angels sang, and Firefox descended into our midst to releive us from the woe that is Internet Explorer.

Nice job, dude. You may have just discovered why they call it a release candidate.
Awesome. I've been waiting for a while now for this to be finalized. I hate beta-testing or QA'ing software and not getting paid for it.
That's why I'm still using Windows 3.11
Why can't
release candidate 1". But sometimes there are bugs, so you fix them, and put out "release candidate 2", and let all the monkeys hammer on it some more, and sure enough they break some things so you fix them and try again with 'release candidate 4'
