To tell you the truth, I am completely fed up with browsing the web. I've wasted so many hours when I know there's got to be a way to know everything now.

Thats it,Tim! We can start marketing a Matrix-esque brain tap tied to a WIMAX receiver...We'll get rich!
From the bug tracker. Yeah, this is one of the nastiest Tear bugs. I've just been working around after getting burned & finally figuring out the pattern. The silver lining is that at least Tear's crash recovery gets you your page back, although maybe not your text.
Now seriously: This and a number of other problems (like strange chars on the pages and the maxlength issue) are probably caused by the usage of GLib for Unicode handling (and libidn). The change in Diablo was dictated by the too big 40MB libicu library that is used for WebKit by default. However in Fremantle I'm going to update the WebKit library to its libsoup version and will leave the libicu Unicode handling in.
As ridiculous as his post may seem from 'our' point of view, meaning those who are already aware how FOSS works in general (ie: you get it for free, you get access to the source code, you can fix it yourself if it's not broken, you can help by filing bugfixes, etc)... I think we have to appreciate a user that cares about the community's project as much as he does.
Obviously it's something he's liked and cared about, otherwise why would he even care to post about it or offer $20 of his own money? (IE: Most browsers are free, and those alternative browsers in the iPhone AppStore are $0.99 to $4.99 at most.)
Is this how we should treat people\customers that cares about our work?
LOL
