Opera Running on the OLPC

An anonymous reader writes "The Opera developers have ported their browser to the $100 laptop. Håkon Wium Lie writes: 'Seeing Opera run on the OLPC for first time was a revelation — no browser has ever been more beautiful. The resolution of the screen is stunning (200dpi) and Opera makes the most of the embedded DejaVu fonts.' Claudio Santambrogio writes: 'Opera runs beautifully on it. The machine is not really the fastest, but Opera's performance is excellent — the browsing experience is beautifully smooth: all sites load fine and quickly, and even complex DHTML pages with heavy animations do not suffer.'"

    How exactly is my article over-rated, when there are no ratings on it?

    It's a shame the meta-moderation process doesn't let you know the article score when the moderation was given, so you can catch out improper uses like this.

    (I await this post being marked off-topic...)
