From my experience working at a four-year college in IT, any "fast-paceed cutting-edge technological studies / computer science department" would be full of so many planetary sized egos that even suggesting that they take part in something as menial as IT infrastructure and basic services would go over like a loud fart in church. Faculty view IT as "the help" and they would be just as likely to willingly talk to the facilities operations cleaning crews about the mechanics of the floor buffers as they would talk to IT about email servers.
How about a 500 lb artillery shell buried under the street? Those that are threatened by RPGs aren't tanks but thin skinned Humvees and the Vietnam-era trucks.
Still cool, but it doesnt sound very practical.

According to their roadmap, they think they might be moving on to working on v3 by the first quarter of 2007 which, if they kept their current pace, would put the alpha and beta releases of FF 3.0 out around a year or so from now.
because once people have web apps that behave like client apps they'll decide "thats crappy" and go back to postbacks for every interaction with the server and all the developers who learned how to do things async will be kicking themselves. brilliant!
I'm a web developer and am as frustrated by these things as you are, but if you're going to start things with "hey fucktard" at least check your facts. To bitch about all these things without even apparently have a clue how IE7 addresses them makes your arguments read like the uninformed cliche that it is.
So next time you decide to have a hissy fit, less bloviating and more fact checking.
