ah.. well, i'm sitting at 1600x1200, on a 20" monitor, i didn't see much difference between firefox and opera's rendering, i definitely had to use the zoom on opera. i tried with firefox, since it's reflex, but obviously only the text got bigger.
You'll probably need Opera, and it's Zoom feature, to be able to actually READ anything on those charts. The headers are microscopic, and the charts themselves not much bigger.
oh, as far as the average user can see, they haven't done anything but build a very simple website that describes webforms 2, which is already implemented in modern browsers.
If you need help from your browser to detect phishing scams, you probably aren't intelligent enough to be able to operate your web browser anyway.
Opera will always tell you in the location bar, where you ACTUALLY are, and if it's a secure site, who actually operates it.
You can turn on the status-bar mods in your Javascript options, and actually use a bunch more websites the way they are supposed to be used without worrying about stupid garbage.
Fark re-writes the status bar so YOU can tell where the hell the link GOES, not so that they can HIDE that they count your clicks. Of COURSE they count your clicks, that's right out in front.
Firefox has all sorts of non-standard Javascript DOM tricks, and CSS tricks, and doesn't support anywhere near all of what's in the standard. Firefox is full of things that none of the other browsers support.
If I remember correctly, which I may not, the only reason Konqueror passed the ACID2 test was because it was hacked to specifically render it. I could be wrong. I'd be surprised if that wasn't the case, though, considering last time I used Konq, the rest of the world was in the 5+ generation of browsers, and it was still in the 2.0 generation.

of course, if they have no kernel modifications, or their modifications are in modules outside the kernel, that are completely seperated, then there's really nothing to biatch about here.
He did mention a few of the functions that are new to O9. And if you actually go and download the O9 technology preview, you can play with some of them yourself.
A lot of stuff has not yet been completed for O9, though, and I don't think they are going to talk about too much until it is done.

...it's too bad the Lucas hasn't made any good movies SINCE star wars :(
Good for them.
So long as they apply it to everyone.
I'm quite gay-friendly.
Gay people have a tendency to bring their persecution down upon themselves.
"LOOK AT ME!!!!! I'M GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Then they wonder why people think they are assholes.

let's see. tons of places in the world with no electricity. And no food. WHY DON'T WE GET THEM SOME DAMN FOOD FIRST?!

Oh? I thought Moz had WF2, Opera 9's implementation should be complete, if not already, by it's full release.

What the hell makes the parent of this post "INSIGHTFUL"???
well, consider that this is the first implementation. Now, let's see you wrestle with those questions.
A lot of thought went into cookies and javascript? Um.. have you ever -used- cookies and/or javascript?
Talk about stagnating.. their website hasn't seen an update in almost a year, now.

Wow, aren't you just paranoid?

...or spend some time making sure that Gecko can deal with ACID2..
hmm. I had no idea that Mozilla used GTK at all.
It sure as hell never has on any of my installations.
But, you're right, the GTK2 file dialogues are of the worst possible order.

I thought RSS had been completely deprecated and replaced by ATOM?
Or am I lost? I've been lost a lot the last decade, so that's nothing new.

The "WMF bug" relates to "Windows MetaFile", not "Windows Media File".
Hardly anyone anywhere uses WMF.
