Oh, I most certainly agree. If it were up to me, this would have been version 4.6 (5.0 being 4.1 and so forth) and the plugin situation would have been changed to the current status in 4.0, even if it meant a release delay. Mozilla has been trying to get to the point where the version number is irrelevant (ala Chrome) but shot themselves in the foot in basically the only place that it actually matters. Of course, everyone loves version inflation.

I have high hopes for their LTS releases.

We care because there are substantial performance gains in recent Firefox versions and Firefox 10 finally addresses the plugin situation in a reasonable manner. Sure 3.6 will continue to work but you're missing out... but feel free to keep your head in the sand.

I never thought I'd say it but it looks like the new release schedule is finally starting to pay dividends. Now if we could just get Mozilla to play better with the enterprise.

Just what flavor is the kool-aid?

Yeah, well, my grandfather died because of this machine you insensitive clod!

100x earnings... yeah, no bubble here.

I believe the ridiculous rates for texting are proof that there is collusion in this market. Something with such little overhead (essentially none) should not be able to sustain such a high cost if there is adequate competition. I think people would reject it, if they had a choice.

There probably was a God around 14 billion years ago, he just happened to explode after losing Pascal's Wager.

For all the oil products that it takes to plant, create and use fertilizer and pesticide, harvest, process, package, distribute, and cook those 12,000 calories, it is less clear how much of an energy savings you've created by biking.

This is why I gave up food and started drinking crude oil. People are incredibly wasteful.
