Yeah, the idea of user-side changes to a web page is not new. Cascading Style Sheets has always had support for the user changing the appearance of a page, for instance.
"Even Opera has jumped on the bandwagon with their own version of user scripts." Well, considering that Opera previewed a similar technology back in early 2003, I'm not so sure you could call that "jumping the bandwagon".
But still, it's a nice edition, both to Firefox and Opera.
Well, good luck fitting Minimo on those phones. I would wager that the reason why all the screenshots of Minimo running all show Google is not because Google hires Mozilla people, but because their page is what you can display before you run out of memory.
Opera is designed for running well on low-end machines, which gives it a clear upper hand when it comes to running it on small devices such as mass-market mobile phones.
Yes, it has been done before. I have a 1984 computer magazine describing a group distributing a Sinclair Spectrum program on a vinyl record, that you would then run synchronized with the music to get a sort of "music video". I can't remember the name of the group at the moment, however.
I know, but in the age of the USian megacoprs owning almost every recording company on the planet, it's hard to figure out which ones are the good guys.
If there are any. I'm not sure, it seems like most recording companies are getting buyer-hostile these days.
Hmmm, I could really use the opposite. With -15C outside (and that's rather mild, considering the last few days' weather) and only +12C inside after having been away over Christmas/Newyear I try to turn on all my computers, but I still can't get the apartment to heat up (although the +12C are an improvement from the +6C that greeted me yesterday evening).
(I can care about the electricity bill later, electricity at about 0.10 USD/kWh is not really very funny when the only heating that is available is electric).
Oh, well, at least it's looks nice outside with all the snow...
If Mozilla supports the CSS required for it then, yes. I haven't tried myself, though. I never found where to enter a user CSS in the Mozilla preferences.
The problem with the breadbox editions of VIC-20 and C64 is that the angle of the keyboard is too high, which makes it a but uncomfortable to type on them. Slimline C64s are a lot better, and of course the 128D's detachable keyboards are definitely the best.

Thank you for helping to put me out of my job (I'm an Opera Software employee). If you have a problem with the ads, 39 USD will get rid of them (15 if you are a student). If you can't live with ads, and can't afford to pay, I'd recommend you use one of the open source browsers instead.
If you find any intrusive ads, please contact the Opera staff directly (contact details on website) or post in the opera.pr-marketing group (available on news.opera.no, as well as several other servers).
Using Opera, all I got was a new window that opened in the background, as well as being positioned so that I only saw 25% in the screen area. Of course, this is with the setting of opening pop-up windows in the background, which is a really good way of handling this kind of pop-ups...
The good thing about MSIE only ads, is that I will never see them, since I never use MSIE. Anyway, I try to avoid overly annoying ad-sponsored services anyway, so sites that start doing this are just going to lose customers on it.
I'd much prefer subscription fees for commercial sites that I use a lot. I am still waiting for my favourite Internet newspaper to start offering that, so that I can get a page that I don't have to filter the annoying animated ads out of myself...
But even in the very first episode of Star Trek, the guy (whose name I of course forget) who turned super-intelligent (or thereabouts) reads the ships books from a screen. Looks a lot like microfiche, though.
Unfortunately,.com and friends is much too polluted to be able to make that distinction. But then again, so are most the national domains as well, so I don't really see why this would be any better.
Perhaps we should just scrap the current DNS system and create a new domain structure from scratch? That would be something...

Well, setting cookies on placeholder domains like "co.uk" or "pp.se" isn't very nice, so it's a good thing Opera makes sure that isn't possible.

Stupid typo...

Well, I've given up buying new CDs because of the bully tactics from the recording industries.

It does, doesn't it? The C64 was announced January 1982, so year is the C64's 20th birthday. Happy birthday, C64.
If Mozilla supports the CSS required for it then, yes. I haven't tried myself, though. I never found where to enter a user CSS in the Mozilla preferences.
It's all just an illusion.

Remember the slogan from Micro$oft's MSIE for Solaris and HPUX pages? “MSIE - bringing the web to Unix”...

Then pressure the game manufacturers to make them available for real devices...
The question is, do we really want to promote the Xbox by doing things like that. Why not let it silently die, as it should?
In more recent times, my Commodore 128 tended to jam one of the local FM commercial stations back where I used to live (only in my room, though).
Considering we only had two commercial radio stations in the area, and the other one was crap, this was a disappoitment.

Verne also predicted the telefax machine, among other things.

Yeah, and reserve .gov for the future world governement, and .mil for the global military that will defend us from evil Borgs...
