No. You have no idea what you're talking about, and should really shut up.
From the Mozilla Development Roadmap:
1. Focus development efforts on the new standalone applications: the browser currently code-named Firefox, the Mozilla Thunderbird mail/news application, and standalone composer and other apps based on the the new XUL toolkit used by Firefox and Thunderbird. We aim to make Firefox and Thunderbird our premier products, and encourage extension authors and other ISVs to target these applications for their work as well.
2. Continue to perform sustaining maintenance, including security updates, on the SeaMonkey application suite's final stable branch (1.7.x) for enterprises and other organizations with large existing Mozilla deployments.
From the Wikipedia "History of Firefox" article:
Although the Mozilla Foundation had intended to make the Mozilla Suite obsolete and to replace it with Firefox, the Foundation continues to maintain the suite because it has many corporate users, as well as being bundled with other software. In an attempt to combat software bloat, the Mozilla Suite developers stripped out several features and much of the interface. Further, many Mozilla Suite features (such as the IRC client) are now available as optional Firefox extensions.
Finally, the Mozilla Foundation is not a corporate entity. That'd be the Mozilla Corporation. In addition, the Mozilla Corporation was not created to replace the Mozilla Foundation (or the Mozilla Project), it was created to handle the distribution and marketing for the Foundation's products as well as properly handling all revenue-generating aspects of the Foundation. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation, NOT a fucking replacement.
The point was that Firefox replaces the browser component, Thunderbird replaces the mail/news component, etc. You already know this, though. You're just trying to be an ass.
Also, learn yourself some grammar. The word "it's" isn't a goddamned possessive.
Boo fucking hoo. Honestly, if you're going to run outdated software and hardware, you have absolutely no right to complain when something doesn't work on your computer. Do you bitch that Doom 3 doesn't run on your Pentium II?
I recommend and use Mozilla Firefox, but Apple Safari (Mac only) and Opera 8 are both worth considering as well.'"
What's the point of including Safari? Anyone who has the ability to run Safari won't have the ability to run (and similarly, won't give a shit about) IE7. And anyone who wants to run something instead of IE7 won't have the ability to run Safari.
Pretty stupid to tell people to consider Safari if they have to buy another computer to use it.
This book will work for Slackware, and maybe help with a few of the slack-based distros... but probably won't be much help for fedora, gentoo, or the other distros.
So? Who cares?
Nobody's stopping anyone from making handbooks for those distributions.
Nobody gives a shit about openness with things like digital cameras because if they have certain needs, they buy a camera that fits those needs and it performs as expected. Nobody who researches their purchases thoroughly is going to be unhappy with the performance of their camera, and anyone who DOESN'T research their purchase is not going to want to hack around with the internals trying to "improve" their camera.
I mean honestly, who the fuck cares? Is it really that important to make your camera run NetBSD? Because that's what this is about.
Real and Apple are going back and forth on the best ways to screw their customers. Apple by forcing you to use their DRM
Apple does not force you into SHIT. The only time you ever encounter Apple's DRM is with music purchased from the iTunes music store. IT DOES NOT AFFECT MUSIC YOU RIP YOURSELF. And the DRM used is not chokingly restrictive. Unwieldy? Give me a fucking break. Apple isn't trying to screw their customers with the DRM. It's a compromise FOR their customers to get along with the record companies.
The sun is universally known to be associated with the time of day, and has been for thousands of years. Several kinds of birds have been trained to deliver messages from one location to another, and have been for thousands of years.

Sure, Firefox is leet and is made by leet ex (and current) Mozilla developers, but it was not made as a replacement for Mozilla.
Uh... Yes it was.
Tab reordering (coming in 1.5)
In the meantime, give miniT a shot. (Get it here.) I've been using it for a long time, and it rocks.
Boo fucking hoo. Honestly, if you're going to run outdated software and hardware, you have absolutely no right to complain when something doesn't work on your computer. Do you bitch that Doom 3 doesn't run on your Pentium II?
Keep using Netscape 4. Internet won't miss you.
Kudos on finally bringing Slashcode into the 21st century!
Hardly. Moving to HTML 4.01 is like just now getting around to upgrading from Windows 95 to Windows 98.

Your post becomes three times as intelligent when you replace the S in MS with a dollar sign.
Grow up, moron.

Stop saying "we" like you're speaking for everyone who uses Linux.
Mp3 suits me just fine.

You don't even know what power you're fighting.
You mean like the misinformation that Gore claimed to have invented the internet?
Additionally, you can use the mozex extension to handle these types of things, completely independent of the window manager.
...and will conveniently ignore any music you may have purchased from the iTunes music store.
So this code doesn't compile with gcc.
Is that gcc's problem for not gracefully accepting broken C code? Or is it those programmers who write the broken C?
The form action itself is on an https connection. It's encrypted. Stop worrying.
Anyone else here just dying for a grammar checker?
Slashdot editors.

In other words, go fuck yourself.
So why aren't you e-mailing the NYT? Bitching about it on Slashdot isn't going to do a whole lot.
Tell THEM about it.
What about it? Buy a song from iTunes with it.
Yeah.
"Ligns" and "immagination," eh?
Ever stop and think you might have been better off actually going to school instead of fucking around with projectors?
A 66MHz Athlon?
What?
Leaking like swiss cheese?
Did you perhaps mean to say "leaking like a sieve" or "full of holes like swiss cheese?"
