A Danish newspaper, who have been at the forefront of an ongoing hetz against immigrants and especially muslims,
Yeah yeah, more bullshit, several people have said that - none have been able to prove the claim.
published a number of cartoons depicting Mohammed in ways that can only have been meant to express contempt.
No, thats not a fact thats just your biased oppinion.
Further, if you have been following Danish news, you will know just how vitriolic and hatefilled the debate has been there for a very long time; and this is prominent politicians we're talking about. This has even been commented on in foreign news, with horror and disgust.
Except that is a lie - you can't house the entire world, a line must be drawn - some people are just too stupid to understand that.
Personally I think it could have been defused then and there if the newspaper or the prime minister had had the decency and backbone to simply apologize;
There was no reason for the paper to apologize and certainly not for the prime minister to get involved. he had nothing to do with this. after all, there is such a thing as simple politeness, and no one would need to give up fundamental freedoms etc.
Politness is something you can show if you are invited to a wedding, its not something a newspaper should use as its guiding light - they could never publish anything since someone would always be hurt. They underlined the problem, that there is no longer freedom of religion in denmark, all must be forced to submit to islam.
How much would it actually have cost anybody if our PM had said something like: 'It is not Danish policy to insult people of other cultures, and I apologize for the distress these insensitive pictures have been published. However, I can not dictate what the newspapers print'? Not a thing.
Of course it would, because its not a fact these pictures were insensitive -certain crackpots thing they are, that is their right - but don't involve us in it. That is is the slippery slope to totaly religious dictatorship.
Instead there has been a load of stilted nonsense about 'freedom of speech' - what a load of crap.
If you are against freedom of speech feel free to get the hell out of denmark - go live in the jungle
Freedom is not the right to get away with whatever you do - there is a responsibility for all your actions as there should be.
If freedom means always having to submit to religious fanatics then there is no freedom.
So, to sum it up: Denmark is festering in xenophobia and inflamed rhetoric; a newspaper decides to try to cash in on stirring up the shit and behave a spoiled brat; instead of being mature and apologize, the West is spiteful.
No, to sum it up you are probably one of those imams who invent a lot of crap trying to stir up trouble. Now get lost.
It sad that it has to be a question of winning - more of a question of religious infighting instead of just adding this as an option so all users could enjoy the program. Instead we see even here that people are just gratuitously attacked if they wish this feature added.
And its not a question of being confused, its a question of being annoyed at what i think is a stupid behavior.
I just set the killbit in the Windows registry which prevents the load of Flash - ever. Much nicer not to have the annoying adds on all pages. Sure a few badly designed webpages are no longer available, but too bad for them:)
Instead of a polite comment you are extremely rude, bordering on the hysterical, clearly they don't implement this for religious/political reasons. And next time be polite kid.
What version of Opera did you last use? Opera 8 does exactly what you're talking about too, as did Opera 6 and 7, if I remember correctly.
8.5 - and I tried it 5 seconds ago.
More FUD and false claims from yet another Slashdotter who hasn't used a version of Opera for years but talks like they're some sort of expert.
The mind does indeed boggle... at the foolishness of this and many of the other anti-Opera statements that so often crop up in stories on Slashdot.
I wonder if they have added the relativly simple config option, that when you close tab N, it moves focus to tab N-1 - apparently there have been some sort of political movenment against adding this open - the mind boggles.
Blizzard has not said Homosexuals can't play their game. On the contrary, they want everyone playing their game.
Actually they want everyone to pay for their game, you don't have to play it. In fact they'd probably prefer if you didn't - the login queues would be much smaller.

when the "crime" was commited by a single silly newspaper
Not so silly.
This "demonstration against the cartoons" is actually just an annaul holy event.
Bullshit. There was one holy event today, but for the past weeks it has totally been about them.
... their theory is wrong.
Is that potions? Yay for saving 3 letters.
8.5 - perhaps I'll give it a look.
Strawman argumentation from your side, you invent something i haven't said and then attack me for it. Bad morals.
"opera:config"
What's that? Something to enter in the url field? That gives an "Illegal address" error.
Wow, you're stupid.
More bloat in a browser? Riiight. And Azureus is soooo lightweight
What other programs are, is not releant for what this program is.
(disclaimer: I use and prefer Azureus as my BitTorrent client of choice. But, like almost all Java programs, it is resource intensive.)
Which is why I avoid all java programs in general - they also generally look awfull.
It sad that it has to be a question of winning - more of a question of religious infighting instead of just adding this as an option so all users could enjoy the program. Instead we see even here that people are just gratuitously attacked if they wish this feature added.

It moves to the tab that you were previously on, whether it be to the right or the left. How are you missing this? It's quite plain to see!
How are you missing that I DONT WANT THAT.
I wouldn't say clued in, as much as No it can't - but perhaps you can make do with this work around.
*sigh* It depends on the available upload speed. If that is capped low you are screwed.
Well, more features will make it a larger program. However your main point is good :)
I just set the killbit in the Windows registry which prevents the load of Flash - ever. Much nicer not to have the annoying adds on all pages. Sure a few badly designed webpages are no longer available, but too bad for them :)
I'm replying to your post via Opera 8.01. It does exactly what you talked about originally. Tell me again how this behaviour is missing in Opera?
It is missing in 8.5
In stead of behaving like a rude school kid you could explain how you, apparently get it to behave in this manner.
It always mows to the tab on the right, not the left. And has always done so.
If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck and sounds like a duck then it's probably a duck.
Or someone impersonating a duck, but biology is hardly relevant here.
Instead of a polite comment you are extremely rude, bordering on the hysterical, clearly they don't implement this for religious/political reasons. And next time be polite kid.

I fail to see why you need to lie.
Why would you ever use that? Surely a standalone client offers more flexiblity? Its just more bloat in a browser.
(And personally I wouldn't want to use Bittorrent given a choice, because its so slow - but thats a different story)
I wonder if they have added the relativly simple config option, that when you close tab N, it moves focus to tab N-1 - apparently there have been some sort of political movenment against adding this open - the mind boggles.
They can't say no women are allowed to play. They can't discriminate on the basis of religion.
So much for a free country.

If Blizzard can make magic ... dead people sexy ...
They can't.
Sexuality is a part of us - it's hard-coded in to our being.
Hm... you are saying I'm bugged?
