Well, it could potentially show how *little* Opera is actually used by comparison. If that's the case, I think the Opera guys would rather keep that number hidden so the can say "We've got many, many users, and if we didn't hide ourselves as IE, you'd see how mighty we are!"
I'm not saying that's the case, but the thought came to mind....and for the record I actually purchased a copy of Opera a few years ago.
This reminds me of a quote from Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash: Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial-arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, and devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad.
It's funny, because I used to think that exact thought. Then reality hit, and I realized I'm just a big pussy:(
Unless I can get transparent terminals. That is what really holds back MS in the server market. I mean, how useful is a shell unless you can see through it?
It's all just electrons, and any power supply large enough will power your computing needs. I suppose painting it metallic blue is cool because, of course, it's inside the case where looks really matter.
In the submitter's defense, he does have a point. If that cheap (but bigass) PSU doesn't put out a clean DC voltage, you're going to see some weird (and possibly intermittent) blips happen to your hardware. Do you think AC turns into DC magically? You need a quality full wave rectifier.
Plus there is the MTBF issue as well. I just had to trash my current Antec PSU because it started arcing and spewing smoke. If I hadn't been at home when this happened, my whole place could have burned down. Luckily, it didn't damage any of my other hardware.
Of course,/. has posted stories based off nothing but a "my sister's boyfriend's best friend's uncle's janitor's hairdress told him that some unknown Microsoft VP told the guy in the stall next to him..."
We'll be testing that out soon enough. However, we tested our current dual xeon w/hyperthreading against dual opterons, and the opterons didn't perform as well as the xeons.
This is a far better, far more powerful, solution. Yes, but not as good as having Hyperthreading enabled PER CORE.
The company I work at is eager to get our hands on two Dual Core Xeons (w/Hyperthreading) CPUs, which will give the appearance of 8 CPUs. We're hoping to see a huge leap in our bechmarking vs what we curently use (Dual 3.6 Xeons with Hyperthreading).
What are you, some kind of pinko? Every God fearing red blooded American should be running as Administrator (real American's use Windows) with Javascript enabled, TWICE!
Wow, 4 replies and not one of them understand why.
ICQ accounts aren't named, they're numbered (you can assign names, but they were always changeable). Low ICQ account numbers are like 2 or 3 digit Slashdot ids....a source of pride.
The hacker probably gave Lyon a low ID account, and to those fuckers it's a nice gift for status.
I'm surprised nowhere in the writeup does it mention that Spitzer works for the New York State government, not the US Federal Government. There is a difference.

If you want to be pedantic about it, ICMP has nothing to do with TCP. It's part of IP only.
Dude, what the fuck are you talking about?
Let's see, the postal address of the district office is.....50 Trexler Ave!
50 Trexler Ave.
Kutztown, PA 19530
Excellent, nobody would ever think of "50trexler"

This is a joke, right?
/usr/local/bin in your $PATH variable. You do know what that is, don't you?
/usr/local/apache[2]/. That's not BSD specific.
First off, just put
As for Apache, it installs (if compiling from source) into the same directory on ANY *NIX OS.
As for the interface names, Linux is in the minority by naming every ethernet card eth0, eth1, etc. Most use names that vary with the card type/make.
Yeah, well at least the nickname 'Cowboy Neal' doesn't sound like Hairy Vagina! I hope to God that's not your real name....
Dude, I don't know what the hell that statement means!
If you're referring to 'hot air', well then I'm even more confused since blimps are full of helium, and are not heated!
Dude, that's awesome! Now I can have transparent Putty sessions....
I think I Love you.

Why, did they run out of toilet paper?

That's not a story, it's seven sentences.

Of course,
HP provides the hardware, and Microsoft provides the software. It's like the worst of both worlds!

I can't believe the dopes that get mod points, while I haven't gotten them in over 3 years!

So Intel it is for the time being.

Embedding CSS into your XHTML is asinine. You should really keep it in a seperate document.
In a seperate doc, the browser will cache it, and save you from having to transmit all 3 or 4k each successive page you load.
Think of the children!
No kidding.
I saw the First Episode because everybody else was going to see it.
I saw the Second Episode because it was on HBO and I was too lazy to turn the TV off.
Now, I only get two channels on my TV (FOX and NBC). So I figure I have at least 3 years before I'll have to suffer through Episode 3 =)
Notice the use of the word 'Episode', it can be used many ways, such as:
"I had a nasty episode of food poisoning last night, I was shitting and vommiting all night"
How appropriate for Star Wars =)
I guess speaking the truth can be painful, eh Grub?

The Attorney General of the US would never stand up for citizens.
when they would use nitric acid to test for gold.
And if they ran out of nitric acid, they always had the good old uric acid on hand as well.
