Mozilla Now Even Includes The Kitchen Sink 295
zzxc writes "Mozillazine reports that a 'kitchen sink' easter egg has been added into Mozilla by a patch to bug 122411. It shows an ASCII art animated kitchen sink. This was prompted by people complaining about Mozilla's bloat - that 'it includes everything but the kitchen sink.' You can see this xhtml demo by going to about:kitchensink in a recent Mozilla nightly, or at mozilla.org with an older mozilla build. Please note that this is not actually included in the browser package, so it doesn't add to mozilla's bloat. Instead, about:kitchensink directs the user to the xml document on mozilla's website."

The back button is COMPLETELY broken now. When I press it, I get a fucked up rendition of the previous page - or it tries to load an IMAGE from the previous page. Or it tries to load an IMAGE from the existing page. Or I'll click on a link and instead of the link, I'll get the image that the link was around. Or I'll load/reload a page and it will have a TON of things convered into numbers/letters (hex?) like A57 D827 a123 - don't get me wrong - 1.3b is a great browser... as long as you have no intention of ever visiting a page you were already at and can tolerate 50% of the pages being fucked up as is.

Mozilla Doesn't Include the Kitchen Sink... Yet (Score:5, Informative)
No, it doesn't. If you read the later comments in the bug, you'll see that drivers@mozilla.org (the project managers) have vetoed about:kitchensink. It's not likely to get into Mozilla unless the patch can be modified so it only affects Mozilla (right now it affects most Mozilla-based browsers, including Phoenix, Galeon and K-Meleon). Even then, I still have doubts that it will get in.

Every version of Netscape going back to 0.9 had the about:mozilla easter egg, where it would display a red screen and a funny fake bible verse.
Early releases of IE poked fun at Netscape by having a blue screen with their own bible verse. At some point, they got politically correct and removed the bible verse, just leaving the bluescreen. Meaning it really has nothing to do with the Mozilla.org project, just crashy ol Netscape.
However, nobody seems to remember what the IE bible verse was. So, if anyone has IE3.0 or IE4.0 out there, give about:mozilla a shot and post what it says.

Besides being a grossly inefficient way to accomplish any of these one tasks, what are you trying to prove here? I can transfer files across the network while reading and writing files, passing data through codecs, and typing in a web client on any of the above OSes. So...Do you think Windows cannot do this? If so the Apple death ray has apparently struck your brain.
I don't even like Windows, and I think you're a gimp.

Since it's my habit to visit voyeurweb.com and download everything I can find in a new tab (which usually loads about 10 60k images per page), I've discovered that I can usually open about 70 tabs before things go wonky.
I close a few tabs, and things go back to normal.
When I try the same thing with IE (LOTS of open windows since IE is teh l4m3 and doesn't do tabs), I usually get a crash or lockup at around 40 open windows.
Anyway, on the box I have that only have 8MB card in it, the number of tabs full of pictures I can open is much, much lower. Maybe 10 or 12, before wonkiness sets in.
The 8MB graphics-card machine is a Linux box with a Matrox G100. The rest of my PCs are running W2k or Linux with some higher form of ATI card.

Wrong color. The BSOD uses background color #0000AA (text mode color #1) by default, while about:mozilla uses #000080 (a bit darker).
