Teen Is Co-Creator of Firefox Browser



Quote:
By age 10, Blake Ross was designing Web pages on America Online. By 14, after mastering complex programming languages such as C++, he was fixing bugs in Netscape's Web browser from home, a hobby that landed him a job offer. "What, at the local store or something?" David Ross remembered thinking when his son told him. No, at Netscape Communications Corp.


Ross, now 19, a sophomore computer science major at Stanford University, has an even more impressive resume than most of his peers. Before graduating high school, he helped develop Firefox

You can if you know C++ and if you know what you want to modify. You can also send it with the source afterwards to the Mozilla team and if they like it they will make it an official release, and they'll give you credit. I can program in C++ but I don't have any ideas...so beh...
BTW I love that firefox eating IE picture. That's my MSN avatar at the time of writing(usually it's the peanut butter jelly banana)....

Yeah, it's possible, like there are many people who could beat the supposed best PC gamer in the world.
Can you program in x86 Win32/Linux Assembly?

I wish that I could do half the stuff most of you guys in here can do with creating your websites and the use of Photoshop. Y'all have some talent!! I'll try at some point I guess to get me a website going of somekind. I'm still throwing around some ideas right now.

Eric,I'm well aware that that's your avatar on MSN, I hooked you up with it, REMEMBER!

mike aka don, please show us something, give us an example, or try and make a little project, show us anything, an thats cool if u can make anything, but i dont think u can make anything, i dont even beleive you can make something, the best you can do is phpbbremix which is easy, sorry to say this, but i think you are in denial, try to be just yourself, dont pretend to be somebody your not, every post there is of yours, you try and have the best of everything, and that really annoys me, and i bet you have none of that stuff which is the worse, so pleasem just be yourself, its not great to say you have more than anyone else, if i said i had a 3 ghz proceesor, you would have to post with a 3.8 ghz, sorry i had to say this, but i couldnt help it, i hope no hard feelings, just be yourself
