ok... I understand the term "free".. I know what free is - You don't pay for it. Simple enough eh?
Why the f do people throw around the term "free beer" all the time though? Free is Free... what does beer have anything to do with free software? "Free beer" as opposed to what? I see that little phrase thrown around so darn much lately and I'm just trying to figure out what the hell it pertains to.
lookin damn good.. when's it gonna be fully functional ?:)

I'm pretty sure the kid playing ball that was zipping around / teleporting was cannonball. I'm sure they didn't mind using their creative lisence to make him younger than 16 - no big deal really. And about a half a second before the kid was running across the water there was a shot of a kid drawing in a sketchbook - that was colossus. In the comics he's real big into illustration and painting.
As a side note... it began almost immediately after the announcement.
I know of LG people getting voicemail from rabid recruiters less than an hour after it got reported. Messed up... they're like crazed vultures those dudes.
Having been very close friends and a roommate to one of the LG programmers for the past 3+ years... I think I can safely say that not only were these people incredibly talented and brilliant game developers, but they were also tremendous human beings.
I had a chance to meet, hang out with, and play quake against alot of the LG'ers the past couple of years through my roommate Darren. From Tom Leonard, to Con Hantzopolous, to James and Liz Fleming - they are some incredibly cool and warm people. They'll all do well in their future with whatever avenues they choose. I speak for myself when I say this (so don't quote me).. but from the conversations I had last night about this.. almost expect another company to rise up out of this.

Mozilla/XUL really is cross platform. Applications written using XUL will appear identical on all platforms (even the Mac!).
