Oh really? Show us CSS radial gradients in Opera, or even working linear gradients

Really, nanomagnets idea was tried before, but there are fundamental physics problems with it.

There used to be a double roundabout like this in Dundee joining the Kingsway and Forfar Road which is part of the A90 trunk road. There, traffic from the city centre mostly comes from the right, traffic from the south A90 comes from the left and traffic from the north A90 comes from the top. It was never really that hard to figure out.

Now they've replaced it with a big crazy set of cross-roads with traffic lights on them, and it's damn near impossible to work out where you're supposed to go.

But a javascript VM that can run Linux in your browser sure is. But author is an asshole for not releasing the source (the .js file is compressed, and under non-free Licence).

I do a lot of used computer business with Egypt, have friends who set up internet cafes and other geek traders, share with them on Facebook and Twitter etc. Last January, they were all trying to encrypt the posts "3gyp7ian R3v0lution" style. http://tinyurl.com/3phbv7j Hopefully China will find it similarly impossible to keep the genie inside the bottle.

On the other hand, if they succeeded, and they recreate a Twitter with nothing provocative, political, or edgy.. The only thing that saves twitter is the search function, finding something interesting. If it's really about reading the banal tweets ("Walking my Chinese dog, saw a taxi")... Just kill me now.

Planned Obsolescence in hindsight. This may not seem a big deal in the USA, but the rate of growth of internet access in 3B3K nations (3 Billion People Earn $3K Per Year) is 10 times the rate of growth in developed nations. Emerging markets like Cairo and Bombay and Peru, where per capita income is around $3k GDP per capita, keep servers and PCs in use much longer. I hope that Linux is a solution, my dealings with Geeks of Color in emerging markets is that they tend to find creative ways around software bottlenecks. Here's a slide show about how internet growth in emerging markets http://tinyurl.com/6xz9lnk which is leading to things like the Arab Spring revolutions. We need to stop seeing support of legacy tech purely through the eyes of rich nations.

I reached my bandwidth limit for the month so I'm shaped and it's still downloading, can someone confirm if you see the text?

Whilst eve-o has been irrelevant since about 2006 when it began taking a week off work and 1000 people to do anything of any relevance it is always reassuring to see posts like this and know that my IG sig http://tinyurl.com/6gzbyve from years ago is still applicable.

On the contrary. Opera is now faster than ever. It got bigger because it now handles a lot more open web standards and technologies than it used to. You'll notice that most of the growth comes from adding support for new web standards, and adding workarounds for broken sites.

What standards? It can't even render gradients properly

Why didn't you just post the lmgtfy link directly? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=define%3A+car

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, your link shows a bunch of car ads and this definition:

car/kär/Noun
1. An automobile.
2. A vehicle that runs on rails, esp. a railroad car.

Here's one for you: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=tricycle

"Why don't they use chains or something to hold those bad boys down in choppy waters? Or, I don't know, built steel railings along the perimeters? Or inter-locking Lego-like attachments between containers?"

I don't understand the layout (maybe for ease in strumming chords with your mouse?), and there are only 10 notes you can play, limited to GMaj. Maybe Google didn't want people recording a bunch of atonal crap or something, but that doesn't stop me from doing this: http://tinyurl.com/3z5wvjz

According to the United Nations, the global population could be as high as 11 billion in 2050 or as low as 8 billion, if the right programs are put in place now.

Population growth stretches natural resources to their limits. Deforestation, food and water shortages, and climate change are all intensified by the addition of nearly 80 million people a year to the world's population.
