Firefox 3 Release On Tuesday
unkgoon writes "The Mozilla Developer News blog is reporting Firefox 3 will be released on Tuesday, June 17, 2008, and you're invited to the party! From the website: 'After more than 34 months of active development, and with the contributions of thousands, we're proud to announce that we're ready. It is our expectation to ship Firefox 3 this upcoming Tuesday, June 17th. Put on your party hats and get ready to download Firefox 3 — the best web browser, period.'" Update: 06/12 17:44 GMT by T : Dan100 was among several readers to write with news that, rather than just being announced, "Opera 9.5 has been released today after nearly two years of development. New features include increased speed (particularly in the Javascript engine), Opera Link (browser synchronisation), and a 'sharp' new theme." Dan100 also links to a full changelog from 9.27.
I am with Bjarne on this one.
..What would the world be like without Google?... Only C++ can allow you to create applications as powerful as MapReduce which allows them to create fast searches.
Bjarne Stroustrup, creator of the C++ programming language, claims that C++ is experiencing a revival and
that there is a backlash against newer programming languages such as Java and C#. "C++ is bigger than ever.
There are more than three million C++ programmers. Everywhere I look there has been an uprising
- more and more projects are using C++. A lot of teaching was going to Java, but more are teaching C++ again.
There has been a backlash.", said Stroustrup.
He continues..
I totally agree. If Java ( or Pyhton etc. for that matter ) were fast enough why did Google choose C++ to build their insanely fast search engine. MapReduce rocks.. No Java solution can even come close.
I rest my case.
Bully for you. Did you want a Blue Peter badge? I have Opera 9.5 and it is the only one I will ever allow in my house and I even have the thumb drive version. http://www.opera-usb.com/operausben.htm
Just wanted to add to the comments about Opera being a far better browser, and have just released 9.5. Judging by the comments so far, I gather I'm not the only one who sees it as the superior browser, it really deserves more attention here.
I.O.U One Sig.
It is our expectation to ship Firefox 3 this upcoming Tuesday, June 17th.
Are they actually mailing out CDs to anyone, then? Or do they still have a couple of last-minute changes to make from the release candidate you can download right now?
