I used it about three years ago, when I couldn't put linux on my computer at work. IE and netscape were too slow, because the machine was only a 486 running winders (yuck!)
Opera saved a lot of time for me. It was very simple, small, and ran pretty fast. I even got it for cheap because I'm a poor university student. I have not tried out version 4 yet for linux, but it may have some promise. IMHO, wait for it to mature.
In the meantime, don't complain because it lacks this or that feature. Opera was designed from the beginning to be very fast and light. If you want all your plugins and special standards, go use your dinosaurs. (that's what I do). I put up with netscape 4.72 on linux, and it's not too slow or instable. I'll wait for netscape 6.
Or go use Emacs, it does everything.
Or, screw it, just use lynx. What use are pictures on the web?
Who needs Mystery Science Theater 3000 to rag on it, when you could just do it yourself?
There was nothing better playing, so my wife and I went to go see it. I never thought that it would be so damn bad. We heckled the movie from start to finish, and people were actually laughing.
I haven't been able to get that kind of response out of an audience since the last james bond movie. I say to Hollyweird, Bring it on! I enjoy really bad horrible movies almost as much as the good ones. I'm sick of the mediocracy.
(not trying to be an expert here just because I live in utah, but I have lived a small Utah town for some time.)
It's more of a small town thing than a Utah thing, up here in Salt Lake City, they even had a gay rodeo. (gasp!) There's one thing that you have to understand about utah, particularily southern utah. Most of the population there is transplanted from southern california, including myself. "native" southern utahns despise the newcomers to some degreee, but it's not usually visable. I point to the pink hair thing, I was always given shit by everyone for having long hair, and down in st george, kids are routinely suspended for coloring their hair. The school administrators go nuts on anyone who sticks out. Besides that, when you manage to piss off enough people in a small town, you're bound to get screwed. I did the same, and that's why I have over fifty moving violations on my driving record. It's all about being high profile.
How this got national attention, who knows. I read about this in the Salt Lake Tribune a couple weeks ago, so it's already old news here in Utah.
... to a certain location in Washington state? That would end that anti-trust suit real quick. Maybe someone could perhaps suggest a military target for this thing. Seems like an awful waste letting it hit the ocean.

...you are not supposed to reboot your linux (or other 'nix) box EVER!
This is sacrilige!
I only reboot my laptop on the off chance that it doesn't come back from suspend right. (thank you BIOS). All my desktop machines stay on forever.
Considering all that, it always boots fast enough for me. But linux in the BIOS is cool...
don't you mean penguin outfit? You could go buy a Tux costume for only $200.
Take THAT rms...

That's windows for you.

Hey, I wrote my lame web page using XEmacs.
