I've been a big fan of Opera for a long time, but I'm growing more and more disappointed in it. First off, I have 9.64 and I get an 85 on the ACID3 test, but that isn't my biggest issue. My biggest issues usually evolves CSS and JavaScript. AJAX sites not working or menuing on some of the Net's largest sites not working. (forget using MLB.com) Not to mention I've seen Opera's footprint being over 700M and still growing before. Granted I had more than a few tabs, but that is ridiculous! It's currently 215M while FF3 is 250M which I find acceptable, but that isn't always the case. (I use both browsers at the sametime)
There is a difference here. Software development isn't something new. It's always been known that the more lines of code, generally the slower the execution of the application envolved. Moore pioneered much of the world of CPUs, and Moore's law was named after him, because he was the first to make the observation. A bunch of guys guzzling beer in the back room making a joke, didn't make Larry first. Hell, the world has been screaming about Microsoft's bloatware well before Larry even had the idea to create a search engine.
An Sonicwall TZ190 starts around $500 and an SSG5 can be had for about $500. They are comparable products. This is the base router without the annual subscription for filtering and virus type scanning extras that they both support, but are unnesessary for use.
I used to be a big SonicWall fan, until I joined a company that required IM messaging and used Vonage. Sonicwall causes a bunch of issues with AIM's protocol. IM will go into a blackhole, a user cannot connect, etc. We were using them at the small remote offices, but we replaced them with Juniper SSGs. The Vonage and AIM issues vanished once we switched over.
Mac clone companies will never make it. Macs are over priced, but people pay that premium because they want an Apple product. Apple and it's products are in line with the Fashion industry. They are stylish to have.
To have a clone Mac is like someone buying a watch (or hand bag) off the street vendors in New York, except you don't even get the Mac logo that tells everyone how cool you are because you own a Mac.:D
Sony stockholders should take heed. They have a guy that lacks vision running the show. He clearly believes in boxing in, rather than thinking outside the box.
Opera preaches standards left and right, but the real problem is nobody follows then except Opera. Therefore Opera doesn't work like all the other browsers. I love Opera for the most part and I use two browsers all the time. I would only use Opera, except for the fact that so many websites don't function properly in Opera. (Mostly javascript and css are the issue)
Once Opera functions like all other browsers, I will listen to what Jon has to say.
Sound in Linux still isn't completely stable across different hardware. I (knowing I'm going to be using Linux) buy specific hardware so I don't have issues at home, but other hardware (Dell Dimension anyone) sometimes have lots of sound issues. I have a a few guys at work with a Dimension E521s that have to reload alsa everyday due to something screwing off in Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04. (sudo alsa force-reload)
I have a feeling it is a mixture of Skype and Flash in Firefox doing it, but Linux should be able to gracefully handle this stuff.
Removing tabs would be a big deal, and if you do it. You had damn well better be right.
Coke thought the people wanted something new with "New Coke". That didn't go over well and the backlash damaged Coke as many Coke drinkers, went with other products and some didn't come back with Coke Classic came out.
Last I heard of Borland was when I purchased Borland's C++ DOS based IDE. That must have been back in the early to mid 90s. I'm surprised they are still around and at that, producing $172m in revenues!
This just goes to show you that these guys have absolutely no idea what they are actually talking about. To say we are going to make law about P2P file sharing is like saying, I'm going to make a law that says you can travel from point A to point B, but not in a three wheeled car. Only four wheeled cars. So, I can't use bit-torrent's protocol, so I will just create a similar one and call it something else and use it until you decide to include it in your law also. (a three wheeled car with a training wheel)
I'm sure they will just try to create an very broad law, but then they are really going to have issues actually applying the law since so many protocols already exist and are used in a myriad of ways. Also new protocols come out and they have to be applied and people will just find other ways round it. They will spend hundreds of millions of dollars trying to police / patch a flawed law.
I find the new versions of firefox are far less stable when it comes to AJAX sites. It appears to be getting better, but I just want th crashes to stop.
It wasn't Air Force One. It was the president's backup plane. It would only become Air Force One if something happen to the real Air Force One.
Actually, Air Force One is only takes the tail number Air Force One if the president is actually on board. Otherwise it goes by it's actual tail number.
He didn't fork MySQL before all the take over talks. He was taking Sun's MySQL code and adding his own stuff to it. When Sun would release new code, that code (or most of it) went into his code base. (at least thats how I understood it)

Sounds like someone is trying to cement their legacy in history by stamping their name on common knowledge. :-)

I'm not a programmer, but I am a systems engineer. I write mostly small tools or automation. For Windows I use ConText, for Unix/Linux I use Vim

They are gauging what type of acceptance they will get. To fork a large project and end up being the only one that cares, is a little pointless.

C_Kode: Computer, close file.

If it works for Captain Kirk and Captain Picard, it should work for Captain C_Kode too.
I cracked it yesterday. Next.
