but you don't have to figure in all the variables that mozilla has to deal with, do you have any idea how many protocals, standards, and platforms issues that mozilla has to deal with for you get a decent browser?
it may not be a million-lines of code, but I'd like to see your million-lines of code program do half as many things mozilla can. -its not like you can just do windows calls from already compiled MS com or Active X and drop them into mozilla. Its by far the hardest problem to deal with next to creating an OS. Windows 2000 has over 63,000 open bugs in it. Mozilla is doing well, I'd say, but will need help solving the bugzilla problem. -dman84 Travis Crump wrote: > And I suppose your software is designed to run on 8+ operating systems > each of which has its own expectations for how a UI should intuitively > work, isn't lacking any conceivable feature, and is designed to handle > malformed/error-filled/intentionally malicious input in a way other than > rejecting it... > > The Posting One wrote: > >> Perhaps if he did, the fries wouldn't be soggy all the time like every >> Wendy's in my area. >> >> It is a perfectly reasonable attitude after a project has been going >> on for >> 5 years.
