  1. Opera really is good by geneshifter · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I don't think it is as they claim, "the fastest browser in the world", but it's not that bad. I really like the easy preference management and the ad is very small for the free version.

  2. ASP support? by Allen+Varney · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I wanted to use Opera on my new(ish) Linux box, but it sometimes rendered just the headers of a page (such as Slashdot) and then stopped. Sometimes the failed pages were ASP, but I know it would be a reaaally cold day somewhere before Slashdot uses ASP. Anyway, I never figured out what I needed to set to make Opera load the whole page. Help for a newbie?

    Isn't OS X based on BSD? Don't a whole load of servers run BSD?

  4. Solaris??? Please?? by The+Salamander · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Can we get a Solaris release up to 6.0 now? Please? Its really strange having 6.0 at home, but 5.0 at work. Different "issues"
    with different sites.

    And its pretty much prevented me from purchasing it as well...

  5. A banner in the browser. by robbear7 · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I refuse to use the opera browser simply because of the advertisement banner displayed up top. Opera is great, and will continue to get better, dont get me wrong. The day they remove that advetisement banner I will ditch IE. Just my opinion. -Robbie
