Most Expensive JavaScript Ever?
ekran writes "A while ago Opera Software needed more servers. Not just a few servers either — they were planning Opera Mini's growth, implementing Opera Link, and My Opera was also growing quickly.
Most of the major hardware vendors grabbed their specs and came back with offers and sample servers shipped all the way to Oslo for testing. One of the biggest vendors, however, did not do their homework. They shipped the server, but when the Opera sysadmins started up the web-admin interface, they were met with a JavaScript statement that managed to piss off the whole company including the CTO. The script, apparently, locked out the Opera web-browser."
People driving a Toyota wouldn't even make it to the store. The damn thing would break down halfway there.
You say that like it fucking matters. The economic output of the US dwarfs Norway and every other country in the world. There is much more to an economy and the value of a currency than how much oil you have.
And as far as oil goes, really, what is it? Liquid energy. Particularly dense liquid energy. It burns. Big fucking whoop. Practically everything burns. Trees burn. I can't count how many of those I'm looking at at this very moment. Grass burns. Garbage burns. And there's plenty of that to go around. We use oil (mostly from the middle east) because it's relatively cheap. When that trains pulls in to the station, we'll transition to something else. Post peak-oil apocalypse is a bunch of baloney. There are people right now running their cars, houses, etc. on solar, wind, fry grease, you name it. And there is some guy or gal in his/her garage right now innovating us into whatever is coming next.
Don't let your Ameri-hate blind you. The GGP was just telling a harmless joke.
See above, & I got the screenshot in .jpg format, & also a single webfile .mht archive to supplement it.
(This is in case my "flock of trolls" decides to try to "collect up all my 'modded down posts'" to use them against myself, which is I am pretty much sure, their "end game"/ultimate goal, & simply because I have around, oh, 120 or so put together here that go from +1 (hard on us AC's since we start @ ZERO) thru +5 on a range of mod ups from Informative, to Insightful, etc. et al, & they're rampantly trying to discredit me).
Sounds nuts, I know... but, proof is below as to my conclusions, & I can produce FAR more than the quote below to supplement this conclusion of mine as well, if need be.
Good luck on that too, in collecting up down mods of mine, because I have guys following me here (aren't I priveleged) such as this one who ADMITS he does this to me:

From here this week (this has been going on with this particular AC psycho here, for around 2-3 weeks now (& he goes by "AMERICANO" usually)) - again, aren't I just the "special/priveleged one", complete with my own troll fanclub? LMAO...

P.S.=> Nuff said, on ALL accounts noted... I am 10 steps ahead of you boys, period, everytime... it's hilarious! Get your IQ's up past "10 below plantlife", because the down modders are clearly "hovering around that Intelligence Quotient"... you'd be lousy chess players, or field generals, in my estimation @ least! apk
Well, give you a big fat frozen cookie.
Norway - GDP: $246.6 billion
United States - GDP: 13.84 Trillion
Now, give it back, you insignificant little bitch. Norway has a population of a little over 4.5 million. We have that many multi-millionaires. You and your little pissant country are pathetic. Go eat some snowballs and fuck your sister, bitch.
