it's not cool because it's recursive, we've all seen that before. it's cool because it's a joke on wikipedia. it's pretty difficult to make a joke on wikipedia that lasts.

guardian: aenima beat them by a couple of weeks with their egon + donci film. They also beat mozilla heavily on impact, seeing as their server is still down now :D

your damn right about this one, skrebbel. the wikipedians seem to have no humour at all..

Actually this displays another positive thing about open source which I believe wasn't mentioned yet in this thread: peer reviewing.

on the other end it makes them easier to find.

people still debate this, wow.
Yeah i know it's stupid, there is no debate Opera > all nuff said.


And it wasn't peer review that found this bug but a security reasearcher, the bugs been around for a long time, and if peer review was really doing it's job it would have been found long ago.

Yeah, that would be the peer, you do know what peer review means, right? :-)

The bug was found, so it's working. I can assure you that there are a lot more bugs in FF, just like there are more bugs in IE and Opera. And some of them will be found by the bad guys first, but with FF the chances of the good guys finding them first are a lot higher.

bugs, correct.

but security.. i doubt the researcher found it by digging through the source :-)

try "about:robots" in ff3.

Gargaj - That reminds me of a webpage I saw long long ago that had some random button that didn't like to be pressed. It had quite a bit of other html elements that were "self-aware" but I don't quite remember where it was. :(

Pretty neat though heheh.

FF3 has bilinear filtering in the pouet user icons, the old school effect is lost NOOOOOOOOOOes

although the GUI is very eye candy ... eh

Yeah! Applying a bilerp to an image that has a color palette makes so much sense. Not.

garg: explains why it eats double the RAM with crap like that :P
