  3. Re:what the hell does this mean? on Joe Trippi Interviewed · · Score: 1

    It means you need more than a winning campaign. The candidate isn't supposed to screw up either.

    And here's the analogy for open source software. Just because it's open source doesn't mean you'll magically win over Microsoft. You need quality code and implementation and THAT is what will attract all the developers and users.

    Everyone is talking about firefox these days. But why only now? Mozilla was 1.0 for a while. In fact it's at 1.7 while firefox is still at 0.9. The answer is that mozilla finally realized that implementation matters and once you have that, open source will work wonders. But open source by itself can't magically turn garbage into gold.

  6. Re:Bah on Stallman Pushes For Free BIOS · · Score: 1

    well if you read the article you'd understand that RMS wants a GNU/BIOS not because it would be "better" but because it would be "free". However, most people don't think that way-the idea has to lead to better value in order for it to be adopted

  12. Re:Open secret? on Google's Fraud Squad Battles Phantom Clicks · · Score: 1

    I shudder to think of such a web...with actual content instead of animated gifs that flash at me and animated flash that annoys the heck out of everyone. Such a web would be absolutely informative and useful and we just can't tolerate that!

  16. Re:TabBrowser extensions on Mozilla Foundation Seeking Switch Success Stories · · Score: 1

    People may want to consider an alternative to TabBrowser Extensions as it goes too deeply into the system (and that's why it's not on update.mozilla.org)

    try this instead:
