Nerdy rant: how can Thunderbird take longer to compile than gcc?

[billyskank]

Longer than Glibc! Longer than Qt! It's a fucking mail client! What is all this code doing? :crazy:

:wtf:

1. I've been too lazy to switch over from Outlook Express.

Maybe I won't bother now.

4. The source package is a 33Mb download!

I mean, in use it seems alright, I've never had any problems with it. But I never realised there was so much of it!

I wouldn't want to guess how much bollocks there is in Outlook though...you know Microsoft. ;)

2. I don't know, but I think I'm glad I stick to the Night Train instead

of Thunderbird.

Enough of it and you might just figure out that coding!!!

6. Seriously

If I was on that project, I might want to see if all this shit is absolutely necessary...
