3/26 http://Mozilla.org party 4/1 at the Sound Factory. Free Source, Free Party.
Everyone invited. http://www.mozilla.org/party
\_ It sounds good. I just read the distressing news today, though,
that Mozilla Navigator will not contain crypto, will not contain
hooks for crypto, may not accept modifications which make it
compatible with crypto, etc. All this over export issues, because
they say that Netscape would be a highly visible target for
politicians if they permitted the inclusion of crypto. Doesn't
this constitute a strong argument against Mozilla Navigator in
general? Even lynx has SSL! http://www.mozilla.org/crypto-faq.html
\_ Add it yourself. Duh.
\_ WTF would I use it for if I had to add it myself? Maybe I
just want to *use* a browser instead of *program* one? DUH!
\_ then download the normal version from netscape, you
idiot. -tom
\_ no shit tom you low grade moron. you once again
"dont get it". no surprise.
\_ I don't get it either - why would someone
who doesn't want to hack on the browser care
what is in the redistributable source code?
Besides, netscape's not stopping anyone else
from adding crypto and going up against the
US Crypto Gestapo.
\_ Because that means if anyone else hacks
it up with something I like but doesn't
add their own crypto, then I have a
choice of NS crypto sans CoolThing or
CoolThing sans crypto. Get it NOW?
\_ If you want to be cool, that is your
problem.
\_ No, it's NS's. I'm a consumer.
They have to make people like me
happy or cash it in. Got it *NOW*?
\_ so how much have you spent on
Netscape products?
\_ Roughly $2k in the last few
years.
\_ Why don't you just leech them like everyone else?
\_ I work at a real company that doesn't fall under
the previous NS .EDU leech policy. Out here in
the RW, we _pay_ for things.
\- You can bet that unless the source distribution license
explicitly forbids putting the crypto back in, that crypto
will be one of the first CoolThings that third parties
try to hack back into it.
\_ Ok, good point. I haven't read the license so I can't
comment. I will say though that I would rather have NS
crypto than unknown, although _possibly_ better, crypto.
\_ If you're going to make a fool out of yourself in
public, sign your name.
\_ What's up with the moronic anonymous hypocrites
insisting that others sign their names when they
won't sign their own? Why bother loading up an
editor on the motd when you have *nothing* to say
which is in _any_ way pertinent to the thread? Why
are you still here wasting perfectly good oxygen
when you could be dead, returning to the earth some
small bit of the resources you've stolen and put to
no good use? *PLEASE* do yourself and everyone
else a favor: the next time you have nothing to say
beyond the typical trollish "sign your name!"
stupidity, just don't. Instead take a moment to
reflect and then kill yourself quietly and
efficiently. Thank you for your contributions to
this thread. I expect to read in the Cal about how
"GEEK KILLS SELF! SAVES SELF FROM FURTHER ABUSE!"
sometime in the next few weeks.
[Keep deleting this if you like. I have it in a
file, you hypocritical moron.]
\_ http://www.mozilla.org/crypto-faq.html#1-10 -- I guess
they will allow it but it will be a little inconvenient.
That's actually what it's like for lynx-ssl now.
\_Any car pools? |
