Is the Venkman page URL correct?

[RobG]

I just visited the Venkman home page on the mozill.org site and noticed
that the URL links to:

<URL:http://www.hacksrus.com/~ginda/venkman/>

Is that correct? If so, why are Mozilla using a domain like
'hacksrus'?

Venkman was (or maybe still is) developed by someone called Robert Ginda
who has web space under the address http://www.hacksrus.com/~ginda/. As
far as I know he once was a Netscape employee but his work on Venkman
was never part of his official duties as a Netscape employee thus those
Venkman pages are on his private web space.
As for the name hacksrus I agree it is confusing but the term hacks and
hackers is not necessarily meant to be something malicious.
