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."

    Funny, the "study" claims that commercial fishing isn't a significant factor in the shrinking of the average fish size, yet it was just last night that I was watching an Animal Planet show that claimed the opposite! I am tired of these contrived "studies" with predetermined outcomes. No, you may NOT use Church of Gaia dogma to revoke my God-given rights as defined by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Neither the federal government nor some international shadow government like the UN has any business trampling on states' rights.

      So the bit in the Constitution that says: "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby" should be removed, then?

    That's SIMPLY a "matter of opinion" on YOUR part, @ best/most, because first of all?

    This is just a forums... not any legal correspondence, nor "my last will & testament", nor is it even a GRADE for an academic paper even... so, so much for YOUR opinion!

    IF you have a brain deficiency such as ADD/ADHD or DYSLEXIA? Then you are excused, & my comment above need not apply to the likes of you, because you cannot help it (that is NOT your fault, though, not staying w/ whatever 'treatments' are administered for that? That'd be YOUR FAULT though...)

    Funniest part is this: IF you're hoping the "10 posts per 24 hour limit on AC's" takes hold of me? Don't hold your breath - I can beat it, with ease mind you, & be RIGHT BACK IN HERE, to kick you around the block a little more, lol...

    (TOO easy... but, then again, I suppose it's just as easy for the trolls to maintain sock puppet accounts to mod me down with, & then use their OTHER 'sock puppet accounts' thru an anonymous proxy or Onion Routers (TOR), etc. et al, to remain undetected as well - & then, for them to come in here, FINALLY, under some other alternate login account here, as you have, with your "typical trollish 'no PHD in English' yet troll sees fit to critique others' writing style' b.s.)

    (Argue with the numbers trolls - & keep blowing those mod points to mod it down, because as you can easily see? Others ARE "modding up" my initial post once again, offsetting your b.s. mod downs)

    Funny also, how I never see any REAL FACTS put against that which I often post here, only "not men online" trollish mod downs (men like that? They're the problem with the world today - it's no longer a world of great men, only 'committees' (of trolls, lol))

    AND, registered accounts? Love to have one, but, as one can see - they make the registered user FAR too easily tracked, for trolling... that's not going to be something I will give my 'trolling fanclub', no way (want to find my posts? You WORK for it, lol, because I use AC it's MUCH harder for them to do, & I LOVE IT!)

    I could do the same & use 'sock puppet' alternate logon registered user accounts to dispense points... even to MYSELF, but I won't & don't... & I certainly do NOT dispense them period, posting as AC as I am wont to do!
