It's not a troll, note that I'd also LOVE this wonderfull opensource browser to surpass IE. But in my opinion, it's still not the case today, and just saying "IE sucks, mozilla rules !", is nothing but refusing to face reality, and of course, it will never make mozilla better.
The sad reality is :
- Mozilla is SLOW (even on awesome hardware). And it's, btw, nearly not usable at all on 2-3 years old hardware.
- Mozilla is UNSTABLE, and still crashs a lot.
- Mozilla's JAVA support is... i have no word to describe that, a total HORROR ?
Now i reckon i've never looked at the source, and i'd be curious to see why this piece of software is so heavy and slow (could it be GTK ?).
But despite that, this is the browseer i use, and i'm very happy that from releases to releases it becomes better and better. The progresses that have been done are very big, but a lot of things remains to be done, and the road is long.

How many embedded developers do you think compile the kernel for their device on the device itself
How many ? Probably more than what you think.
Actualy i think that having the power of compiling a kernel and modules on the localhost is more important than what your small sized brai
n might imagine.
Now on the availability of Python2 over the current linux distros, i think you missunderstood what i meant. I dont say it aint available, i
say it aint standard at all. Perl is default these days, so why using python ? I like the fact that i can compile a kernel with only binut
ils, a C lib and an compiler.
Python is supported on PalmOS ? OH my god i dont care at all !
Actually i share your opinion. ESR may have written a couple of successfull books, he may have done a couple of speechs, and so on... But, the fact is that his contribution to the free software world, the actual amount of _code_, is just ridiculous.
The biggest of his projects is, afaik, fetchmail, it says it all. And the rest is an amount of small python scripts, FAQs, documents, and useless stuffs. CML2 is just an opportunity for him, to do the project that would give him a real dimension of HACKER (hahaha).
He wants to be the voice of the opensource community, and it makes me sicks. Not because the guy has theses known views on the possession of weapons, anarchy etc... i dont give a damn after all, he can politically and ethically think whatever he wants. But the problems comes when he writes documents like the Jargon, the hackers FAQ, and stuffs like that that describes our free software world. Where he speaks like a 10 years old kid, and therefor makes people of 'his community' just ridiculous.
Oh by the way, if you feel bored, i just recommand checking this URL out, where you can watch the specimen in all its splendor.

If CML2 is interesting from the very technical point of view, for its benefits, his flexibilty and his scalability of the configuration language itself, the fact that it requires Python2, just SUCKS.
The linux kernel needed CML2 to solve some known problems, and to ease the build of new kernels, but didnt needed a requirement of 50 additional Mbytes (python 2), that all of the Linux vendors will have to ship now (I also think about embedded systems on this issue).
This packages is very NON-standard, except maybe on Debian, and a port of CML2 in C would be way more logical IMHO (or at least, in Perl, because it's much standard these days (autoconf needs it too)).
I'm curious to see the arguments of "Mr ESR the hacker, author of amazing software from kernel space to user land like fetchmail or the insane gif2png" on the real tech needs to use Python2 over something else on this issue.

You know ? You are ridiculous ... you are an idiot
you are an idiot too, you are actually ridiculous
