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.'"

I think that's a mis-use of the moderation system.

As I understand it, the mod system is designed such that it does not express the readers *opinion* about the *subject in hand*.

It expresses an opinion about the *post itself*.

So over-rated means what it means - and to use it for something else is actually to subvert the mod system and perhaps use it to express your opinion about the matter in hand.

That mis-use happens chronically with the troll/flamebait mods.
