Yeah, you should go out and REALLY get chased by things that are trying to kill you.
You just aren't living, if you aren't being nearly killed by monsters.
Vorbis and Theora as both tributes to characters in Terry Pratchett novels.
Ah!
I'm just reading Small Gods for the first time (I'd somehow missed that one), and I was thinking it was a funny coincidence that there was a character named Vorbis;)
In that case, I would assume Ogg is another reference.

If it's coming from CD: decompression is faster than seeking and/or reading.
If it's coming from a cached-in-RAM copy, then I dare say the decompression would be slower than the reading.
If they wanted to all they'd have to do is host them in a repository and you could get regular updates to their software.
In fact, they do - see http://www.opera.com/support/kb/view/841/ (Opera Knowledgebase question - "Can I install Opera from a repository?").
Opera have their own Debian repo (http://deb.opera.com), as well as providing Ubuntu packages for Canonical's 'commercial partner' repo.
As a multi-OS user, the simplicity of updating and installing software under Linux is one of the things I miss the most when using Windows.
To try to have a file system to work across all platforms universally when nothing is completely compatible across all platforms is ludicrous and will drive you to suicide.
Worth a read if you have any interest in the history of science.
Seconded.
Whenever I don't have any new books to read, I re-read bits of the Baroque Cycle - I'm reading The Confusion for something like the 5th time at the moment, and still loving every moment of it.
One thing that just seems wrong about your post is the fact that it was 20 minutes, not 20 seconds.
Not that it makes much difference compared to thousands of man hours, but y'know, try to get it right.
And while we're being fair, most native Windows media players look out of place in Windows too (eg. Winamp, Windows Media Player), at least in XP.
Maybe Windows Media Player in Vista is themed to match the OS?
The leap from cave paintings to space travel is trivial compared to the leap from bacteria to mammal. We're so used to being multi-cellular that we take it for granted - but space travel is still a novelty.
While you're right that iiNet is the most obviously outspoken ISP against the filter (three cheers for iiNet!), by all accounts most other ISPs are on their side too - including Telstra, but especially Westnet since iiNet owns them.

What did you say? I didn't bother reading your post.

That's LGPL.
... will I have to get a friend in Japan?
Are you advertising JList?

Because Australian native life isn't at all used to being burned.
Actually, since the boss was the one causing the delay, it was his time he was wasting.

Hear, hear!

He did.
He also said it is picky about its friends.

Yeah, that happens to me every time I try.
But if the system is not impervious, then even those of us who are not happy to type 'sudo rm ...' etc. are still screwed.
No worries ;)
(and the brains to filter out all the quakery!).
Oooh, those Quakers! *shakes fist*
... I suspect you meant quackery, yes?
wait...

*raised eyebrow* Celine Dion is in government now? ;)
And to think, I was surprised about the Governator...
company's such as Telstra and Westnet
