Ironically enough for you, perhaps, they're actually quite close now, because they look darn near identical (or they do on Windows anyway), what with their ridiculous menu button in the upper left and nearly identical tab widgets.
I take it you haven't installed any services that operate on text, like something to fix those terrible line endings left by notepad, or to replace smart quotes with straight ones, or to automatically change a URL into a proper bibliography citation? I use them heavily, but last check they still didn't work at all in Opera.
No? I use a text editor for that...can't think of why you'd need them in a browser, but sure, I can see why having to use a text editor instead of doing it right in your browser would be annoying. Unfortunately, I can't tell you if they work, only that some services (potentially not the ones you want) work.
There are system mouse gestures? Since when? Do you mean multitouch gestures? I don't have a such a capable mouse or trackpad, and my trackpad is broken anyway. As for all those other services, I don't need a grammar checker (generally...), there is a spell checker built-in to Opera (which, again, I don't need), Opera can send you straight to MW.com for dictionary/thesaurus or Wikipedia for encyclopedia, and I don't know what "text manipulation" services you're talking about; the ones that show up in the services menu for me are the same that show up in Safari's services menu. Then again, I'm also services-retarded; I never use them beyond playing with Summarize every once in a while.
I'm sure better Mac OS X integration will come in time; it already looks like a native Mac app. More so than Firefox, at any rate.
For a long time it was the only browser to support border-radius CSS. It's currently the only browser with WebM support.
I like it because of its right click->Validate feature, which sends the cached copy of the current page to the w3 validator. Plus it also has Inspect Element (like Chrome), mouse gestures (like the Firefox addons), and it looks good in Mac OS X and Windows (although not so much in Linux). Plus Opera Unite is really cool too. Opera Mail is also pretty decent.
Also, I can't find in the spec where W3 recommends equal whitespace before and after blockquotes. All it says, as far as I can tell, is that it should be indented.
I think there's a bigger problem if you've already taken your PRESCRIPTION pain-killers and then you still take Tylenol. At any rate, I prefer acetaminophen because it fixes my headaches and doesn't need to be taken with food like ibuprofen.
But if I recall correctly, Virginia Commonwealth University does the same thing. UC Berkeley doesn't require you to install anything, but their security scanning servers do scan your computer for all kinds of vulnerabilities to exploit. Really fills up your logs if you've set things up that way.
It's not just that--if you don't care about the manufacturer, you can usually get a really good deal on a laptop that's specced better than a regular MacBook. You can never get such good deals on Apple stuff unless you wanna buy refurb, and even then the price sucks.
I'd just lie. Well, personally I wouldn't have to lie as I practically never have any notes from my classes. As for miscellaneous other work, usually teachers don't tell you, "Oh, you can keep them," and then decide to take them back later. I've had teachers unwilling to release tests, which is fine by me--it's not as easy to come up with good questions as one might think. What bothers me in this case is that you've already had the entire term to let others copy your stuff, but the teacher is obviously being a moron and not realizing it.
To me, the source code for the breathalyzer machines would be quite useless. You'd have to not only be able to understand the code but understand the chemistry behind it, and I doubt many lawyers can do both. What are they going to do with the source code? Try to find a programming error that overestimates BAC? Good luck with that. The summary claims that the charges against the defendants will likely be lowered, but why? Why, just because the source code is being released, are they suddenly having the charges reduced? Is this really fair?
All this does is force a company to do something it doesn't want to do for people who don't even particularly want them to do it anyway; those lawyers just want their clients to get off scot-free.

I tried that; never could get it working properly. Either way it's an add-on for a feature that's built in to Opera.
Who is going to pay for Opera when they can use WebKit or Fennec for free?
A better question is, no doubt, "Who is going to pay for Opera when they can use Opera for free?"

That's what we use around here. Works quite well. I work with hundreds of gigabytes of MEG data myself.
Wait, don't you mean that websites prefer the former to the latter? Because otherwise your statement that you "certainly do not" makes no sense.
Yes. Yes, I do.
Hey, some of us still have 32 bit machines. So no, please do not make 32 bit Windows disappear.
Uh, I'm pretty sure this is a printer-side thing. And if it weren't, then that's even dumber than either of us ever conceived.
Nonsense! That Mindstorms set with the rubbery projectile was pretty damn dangerous if you ask me!
Yeah, you can get that if you want it. Why not?
I'd just use iCab. It probably has just as good compatibility as Gecko 1.3.1 and it's been stable for a long time.

And you would too if you worked around other people, or if there's even a remote possibility of someone being around when you type in a password.

Great. And? Mac OS X does the same thing. WHO CARES? It's the fault of the users for being stupid, not the fault of whoever made the OS.
FINALLY, we can get that PowerBook G5 we've been waiting for!
It's not just that--if you don't care about the manufacturer, you can usually get a really good deal on a laptop that's specced better than a regular MacBook. You can never get such good deals on Apple stuff unless you wanna buy refurb, and even then the price sucks.
I dunno, I'm not feeling particularly fearful or doubtful after reading the article.
I'm of the opinion that there is far more illegal P2P traffic than legal.
I refuse to let them share it! How did they even get my information in the first place? I'm not one of their customers!
