...and the no feet guy said, "There is such a thing as a budget, and WNYX is over it."

I have to admit, I'm not impressed by the latest Mozilla.

Within 3 minutes of installation, it managed to freeze my window manager. All I did was try to go to "Encrypt sensitive information" (one of the options off their drop down menus), and whammo. Or, I guess I should say, "...", because that's more like what really happened.

Additionally, I'm disappointed that it still doesn't come with crypto installed. The US export restrictions have all but been removed, so why not ship with it? SSL is necessary for a large portion of web usage these days (i.e., e-commerce sites), so why do I have to go through a second step to go get crypto and install it?

Additionally, the crypto that I installed only seems to work for root. Doesn't work for my regular user. <sigh>.


Saw a great article referenced from slashdot yesterday on the [lack of] software quality. I highly recommend reading it; it'll take 10 minutes of your time.


The vorbis-dev list is still down, which is annoying, 'cause I've got some questions about the DSP encoding stuff, and how to share boundary values in the persistent state...
