An anonymous reader writes "mozilla.org have released what are expected to be the final release candidates for their next versions: Mozilla 1.7RC3 (MozillaZine article; download) should iron out any final bugs in what will replace 1.4 as the new stable branch and Firefox 0.9RC (MozillaZine article; download) features the new default theme ported from Mac OS on Windows (though please bear in mind that the theme is nowhere near finished yet). The final releases of these versions are due very soon."

Had I known that installing both these packages would cause a new version release the next day, I would have done it much sooner.

I'm very disappointed. I was under the impression that open source and the ingenuity of a team of dedicated, enthusiastic developers could finally push Rapid NameChange(TM) technology into the mainstream.

Huh? You mean insecure, bloated, and integrated into your OS? Just use IE? Or change your habits?

There's been an ie skin for mozilla in the usual places, I was playing with it at least a year ago...

It's a hilarious hack, and makes it look a _lot_ like ie, but it's not a perfect emulation since there are no viruses, and popups are blocked, but otherwise, a pretty fair approximation.

Well, that was the plan for this release, but unfortunately the initials RNC were already being used by an altogether much more slow moving organization. They took issue with our tendencies towards rapid progress.

As such, we are working out naming issues right now and you can expect to see this in a future release.

I you really want to start a flame war on /., and I have started several good ones (over 10 replies), I suggest picking a more incendiary topic. Global warming is my personal favorite, transatlantic politics is another. Who cares about Konqueror except a few KDE fanboys? Futhermore, be subtle. The best responses come from people who don't know they are being pervoked.

A question for the whole forum: What was the greatest /. flamewar of all time?
