We're getting into subjective terrority, but nonetheless:
Ctrl+click seems to have become an emerging standard for interacting with links, and a lot of people have gotten used to it. The thing is, Ctrl+click isn't being used for anything else in Opera, so I hope they make it do the same thing as Shift+click in the next version.
Ctrl+PageUp/Down: Well, it's not obscure if you're using Ubuntu: Terminal and Nautilus both use it, and don't use Ctrl+Tab. Gedit uses Ctrl+Alt+PageDown. Again, Ctrl+PageUp isn't being used for anything else, so I hope it's a default in the next version. Also, Ctrl+Tab (especially Ctrl+Shift+Tab) is either less ergonomic than Ctrl+PgDn/Up or uses two hands. Ctrl+PgDn/Up is easily ergonomic using only the right hand with the thumb on Ctrl and middle finger on PgUp/Dn.
Right-click: I think you may have misunderstood me: I'm saying you can access context menu items with a single click and release, instead of Opera's right-click, release, left-click, release.
Search: Yeah, I wish Chrome would support '/' in addition to Ctrl+F. Muscle memory from less, vim, and lynx. Plus point for Opera. Re: the color. I just switched from Ubuntu Radiance to the default Ambiance, and instead of grey on grey, it's light brown on grey. YMMV.
In general: Yes, I realize different browsers have different combinations of features, and I appreciate many of Opera's. But the day-to-day, minute-to-minute basics of a browser are opening links, switching tabs, and (less used) searching. So I use Opera only for Google maps and some other stuff.
-Slow. (Subjective). It's slower than Chrome to show something (anything) on a page than Chrome.
-Shortcuts aren't set up out of the box to function like other browsers. Once nice thing about Chrome when I first started using it is that just about all the shortcuts from other browers "just worked" out of the box. There's no shortcut customizer, but it's not really required.
-No Ctrl+click to open links in new tab. You have to use a Javascript hack to do that.
-Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDn aren't set for next/prev tab. I know you can set it in keyboard options, but that's a huge dialog with confusing terminology for browser actions that you can easily mistake for other actions. Defaults matter.
-The mouse arrow doesn't change to a selection cursor when you hover over text, as in Chrome & Firefox. This makes it slightly hardly to precisely select text starting from a given letter.
-Right-click problems. In Chrome, you right-click a link, the menu appears, the first option is "Open in New Tab", go over it, and release right button. Easy/fast. In Firefox, the same, except that "Open in New Tab" is 2nd after New Window, used less frequently in these days of tabbing. Either way, it's just one click.
In Opera, it's ridiculous: Right click on a link. Then you have to release the button to get the menu to show. After the menu shows, "Open in Background Tab" is the 3rd option. Caution, though, don't try to click it with the same finger you just used to right-click. You have to left-click it or it doesn't take. (Not so with Chrome or FF.) Not even geeks should be subject to mouse aerobics, much less kids or your parents.
-Search. Ctrl+F and type something. The search words are highlighted, which is good, but it shades the rest of the screen. Not good. Also grey on grey isn't a great highlight color. Also it doesn't have the scrollbar search hit indicator lines like Chrome.
Opera users: Don't be a fanboi and dismiss these items. If Opera takes care of the above, they can get all the people who don't switch because of annoyances. Also see What's right about Opera.
(By a Chrome user, who also sometimes uses FF, Opera, and Chromium)
-Nice menu. Press Alt to get access to the whole menu without it taking up a lot of space.
-Quick preferences. The most used settings, accesible either from the menu or F12. Toggle Javascript with F12-J. You may not even miss NoScript.
-Trashcan for closed tabs. Ingenious.
-Thumbnail preview when you hover over a tab.
-Fonts work right on Ubuntu. That's only true for Midori, Opera, and a 1 year old version of Chrome.
-Easy on the CPU. Google Maps or other Javascript pages down cause the fan to turn, unlike Chromium or FF on Ubuntu. I usually use Opera for Javascript pages for this reason.
The thing I don't get is how they were able to wrest control of wikileaks.org.
The.org domain was with DynaDot and they had (and still have) CLIENT TRANSFER PROHIBITED set.
So why would a US-based domain firm which suspended Wikileaks in fear of the US government then control back over to either 1) a group purporting to be WikiLeaks, or 2) a group they knew was Russian criminals

Basically all the big banks were selling off mortgages without proper paperwork (hence the "Where's the note?" stuff).
Re: Bernie Madoff: This is a separate class of accusation than the others. It's not that BoA did the shady stuff there, just that money went from BoA to Madoff.
BoA is the largest bank in the US. It's quite hard to believe none of BoA depositors ever sent money to Madoff via BoA.
The fact is money was transferred from BoA to be used in illegal activities.
But I don't think anybody was ever gunning for BoA on that account, since BoA was just a conduit, and not an actor re: Madoff. Similarly, there's no reason for them to attempt to "moral police" their depositors when they want to send money to WikiLeaks or anything that BoA thinks might be related to WikiLeaks, because BoA would just be a conduit ("a carrier").
Is it possible that defense lawyers could make an argument that copyright law doesn't constitutionally cover Batman XXX because it doesn't advance arts and sciences?
(I'm not referring to their 1st amendment protection, but rather ability to prevent copying and distribution.)
It's true that it seems that that argument would be going into "viewpoint discrimination" territory, but I would think that's only in reference to banning expression, not restricting its distribution.
Maybe I'm missing something, but while she may not have personally argued cases in lower federal courts, isn't her office responsible for arguing those cases?
It was a bad idea now (I don't really know how you go from arguing crazy positions for the administration to then judging them). And it would also have been a bad idea to appoint Ken Starr, another solicitor general who was being considered for the court under GOP administrations.
Yeah, that's basically the good old web, the way Sir Tim intended. Straight text down the line, no fancy shmancy sidebars or CSS, images in-line instead of floating, images whatever size you want instead of nicely cropped or resized, no ads, just a normal person sharing their experiences.
(While stating that I don't know exactly what Anonymous transmitted) What I don't understand why it's not illegal when Rush Limbaugh calls on his audience to call or fax Congress with the explicit intent of tying up their switchboards/lines? Why is that not a denial of service attack? It's certainly denial of service.
It's funny that that law references "annoying" faxes. The whole point of contacting Congress is to annoy them. If it weren't annoying, they'd pay no heed.
I'm not saying Limbaugh should be prosecuted for calling for faxing Congress, but why then should Internet posters be prosecuted for calling for faxing anti-Wikileaks corporations?

>What's even stranger is that I've read the majority of Opera's operating revenue comes from Google,
What, really? I thought it was from payed preloads of Opera browsers on mobile phones/devices.
>>The things that annoy me is that it uses shift + ctrl to open a new tab instead of the defacto standard ctrl
>Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Shortcuts -> (Keyboard Setup) Edit
No, it doesn't.
You have to do a hack with User Javascript, which then means your UI changes depending on whether you have Javascript turned on or off.
I thought they would have added UI shortcuts from other browsers for the 11 release if they wanted to make a play for a wider audience.
Yes, I know there's the middle-click thing, but people still want Ctrl+Click because it's more ergonomic for them.
I fail to see what malware is being hosted there.
It's just some ZIP file downloads (which contain text files).
The only Javascript seems to be WikiMedia related.
Google confirms there's been no malware there in the past 3 months:
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=wikileaks.info
Where else would Spamhaus have them host it? Rackspace?

accepted any manner of shady transactions regarding
-Bernie Madoff
-mortgage derivatives
-selling mortgage securities without proper paperwork
The problem, anymore, is that banks and ISPs aren't content to just be carriers. They have to judge the content of your transactions, too.
If you can't su or sudo, how you get anything done?
So does that mean Hitler wasn't genocidal, because there were other Jews?
Please don't respond that the Kim would have brought it upon himself.
We're discussing whether it would be genocide, not if it would be justified.

Really, what case was that? I missed that. (Oh, you mean the 2000 election?)
I'm of the opinion that judges generally, but especially Supreme Court justices shouldn't be friends with politicians.
They also don't have any business attending State of the Union addresses. They probably shouldn't vote (in elections) or donate to candidates.
Basically, you should be ready to undergo a kind of monasticism if you want to be a Justice.
It was a bad idea now (I don't really know how you go from arguing crazy positions for the administration to then judging them). And it would also have been a bad idea to appoint Ken Starr, another solicitor general who was being considered for the court under GOP administrations.
is the reason for the 4-4 split. She recused herself because of having been the solicitor general of the US.
Having argued so many other cases for the RIAA^H^H^H^H Obama Administration, she'll be recusing herself a lot as cases work their way up to the court.
It means the ruling of the (lower) appeals court stands, which was against the first sale doctrine.
that they based it on copyright law: an Omega logo on the watch.
I thought it would be something like a signed contract, or buying from a foreign wholesaler, then importing to the US.
But the copyright on the logo?
Is that a self-made setup, or off-the-shelf?
