You are a moron. You talk but can't hear what you are saying. How about "it's like Internet Explorer but better" Now that would be a fair comparison and even more people would recognize the product. I don't disagree that mozilla makes the web experience better, and definately better than IE makes it. But Netscape lost. They lost because something better came out at the time and it was IE. IE clobbered Netscape in almost every area and venue. GRanted IE is now losing to Mozilla and rightfully so. AS John Dovorak said, It looks like MS has lost interest in keeping their browser current. I have to agree. It's starting to suck wind as compared to others. NO inovation. But you can't possiblly give Netscape credit for Mozilla. Mozzila exists DESPITE Netscape. Netscape tried to deep six the mozzilla core. Where the heck are you compiling anything different? You threw the Wiki at me, now read it yourself! Netscape died because they passed on a better core application, Mozilla and they are dead because of it. Let go of it dude, you are to old to hang on to that security blanket any longer.
If IE hangs and freezes on your machine, I would hesitate to blame IE. It is probably indicative of a deeper problem that you have. Spyware has most likely infested your machine. IE works fine in a virus and spyware free environment on every machine that I have at home and in the office. No hangs or freezes at all with version 5.5 or greater.
I tend to think that you are simply bashing here and don't really have anything useful to contribute.

Secondly, I said nothing wrong and you are the one misconstruing history. The mozzila code was was constructed after the Netscape (communicator) code was determined to be 'unsalvagable' by Netscapes own people. So what are you shaking a finger at dude? The base core from Netscape had to be trashed. The project team working on Mozilla, a different group of people, (same company mind you), ran with a whole different ground up construction, trashing that CRAP that was built under published Netscape browser.
Now granted the mozilla core was slated to become the next release of the netscape browser early on, but what the Wiki doesn;t tell you, is that Netscape marketing chopped it and didn't want to use it. So who flubbed there? Good riddence Netscape people. You screwwed up the first source, you deep sixxed the only good code to come out of the company and forced those people out. You made your bed now lay in it.

Ok then, with that logic I guess we can give Microsoft all of the credit for Netscape then. Netscape never would have made any mark at all if it hadn't been for Microsoft challenging them, (and winning btw).
I honestly hope that as little of the Netscape as possible rubbed off on the Mozilla people. For Netscape was a horrible product by any reasoning. If Microsoft didn't have so much push, Netscape would have died as soon as it got out of the gate. People masicated themselves with the Netscape product just to avoid using IE. So You should be thanking MS. Your soapbox wouldn't exist without them.

Gosh, these Netscape fanatics are wacked. Netscape is dead and I hope it finally stays that way. Mozilla rocks and Netscape has nothing on this product. History even dictates the diverging paths which is probably why Netscape flopped. Browser stats support this too, so don't get your underwear in a bunch trying to flame the assertation. Just because some joe from the Netscape building got a job over at Mozilla, doesn't mean that Netscape played any part in Mozilla's success. Give it up. Stop trying to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. I for one am sick of hearing it.

No but you will have to eat twice as many oranges in the next month to make up for the craving you get from the new genes you got from those funky oranges.

The decision forces RIAA to use the John Doe litigation method. All this action stops is RIAA from bypassing the court system when trying to force ISPs to turn over use account information. RIAA now has to file a John Doe supeona and the case as to whether it is justifiable to turn over the information is then heard in a court case. It is not automatic as RIAA suggested (more like demanded).
I got 5 caesium atoms free from Ron Popeil when I ordered my Showtime Rotisserie! They came in a seperate package from the steak knives. That's probably where these scientists got their's.

Hey a story written by another real world coder! Hurray for slashdot! This stuff matters to me. I have to code for corporate enterprise environments and HAVE to use the bohemoths for my studios.
Java has always given me the pieces of the puzzle that I have needed where MS languages left off. It is nice to see another vendor meeting the bar. I think now the question is becoming Java OR C# rather than MS augmented by mutterings of java code slipped in here and there to make up for what the MS's failings. Sure all languages will frustrate you in one area or another. It's just not possible to see how somethings will be adapted in the real world until it is actually out there. That is when the language builders stop back and say, hmmm, should have implemented that one differently. Problem has been that MS would never admit that they could have done something better and laughable to even think they would change it even if they did realize it. Java has more work to do, but at least it is getting really close to where they need to be for us corporate coders to look at it seriously as a platform of choice.
Now they just need to work on their web server a bit more.
