On twitter the author of this piece goes on to make an excellent point.

This same Eich is the creator of the JavaScript web programming language.

Expect Mozilla to be consistent in its views and remove all javascript ability in 3... 2...

BTW: I have move to Chromium as a browser. It is the Open Source project that Google Chrome is based on.
I have not yet picked a mailer.
For those who are tech savvy, any suggestion on an Open Source mailer which can handle pgp/gpg encryption/signing would be appreciated.

    Feel safe as houses with Google? db has always had concerns as to how Google became the most prominent search engine in the first place. I think the ex CEO should sue the group who exposed the donor list. With all the rules we have regarding

    employment one would think there'd be one saying you couldn't fire someone for their political beliefs

      K, if you are asking about my browser choice - no, I do not feel safe as houses with Google. Chromium is not Google Chrome, although Google Chrome is based on Chromium.

      I think that he should sue as well, but sue to have Mozilla be consistent and remove all JavaScript capability from their browser.
      If he won, it would *kill* Firefox dead.

    Just tweeted this:

    To distance itself further from the language's creator, #mozilla should rebrand JavaScript as MiracleScript. #firefoxboycott #AtlasShrugged

    Reminiscent of William Shockley who shared the 1956 Nobel prize for Physics for inventing the transistor and then unwittingly undermined his reputation in 1963 by posing a hypotheses that a genetic component of low IQ was based on racial heritage. He sure kicked a hornet's nest with that one. Guess what he is best remembered for.

    Sometimes it seems like "Social Science" is an oxymoron and answers to social problems are crowd-sourced. It surely is a mine field for an Objectivist.

      Racism is wrong from the metaphysical level up. William Shockley was an idiot savant. William Shockley will be remembered for the transistor, of course. He also will be remembered for his authoritarian management style that induced his vice presidents to quit and form their own companies, thus, the "Fairchildren" created Silicon Valley.

        Too bad he didn't prove the null hypotheses. Then he'd be a hero. As it is it just seems to reenforce the common perception that engineers and scientists are clue-less in social situations.
