Regarding whether you can build websites with Firefox

From bash.org:

cakey: Can you build websites with firefox?
imarock: can you build cars with roads?

The correct response would have been “Can you build roads with cars”?

The correct answer, of course, is “no”: You cannot build a road using a passenger car. However, using a different kind of vehicle, you could:

A steamroller.

Likewise, you can't build a website with plain Firefox—but if you used a different browser that integrated source-code editing, live preview, and FTP/SFTP/WebDAV upload, you could.

Or, just as you could, with enough time and tools and know-how and work, mount a steamroller drum on the front of your car, you could modify Firefox or create an add-on for it to help you build websites. It would probably be ugly and not work as well as the dedicated tool, but it's possible to make it work.

    Fail. I suggest getting up and doing something with your life rather than dissect a silly quote.

    In before: “Why don’t you do the same?”: I’m putting off doing a paper for a summer college course.
