If the dropdown menu is bugging you, you can make your own button which just switches between author/user mode: Opera button maker.
Just add two actions as Cycle (>), from Select author mode to Select user mode, with the User mode icon, like so: "opera:/button/Select author mode > Select user mode, , , User mode".
You may also like to look at my.opera's toolbar setups section.. and I heartily recommend Minimalist Native in the skins section:)
Hmm? How is layering RAID-0 on top of RAID-1 not "standard"? We're using Adaptec 2210S' if that makes any difference.. if it's not layering basic RAID levels like it says it is wtf is it doing?;)
"P - Until you have two drives fail. Well duh! That's true of any RAID solution."
Really? I kinda hope that if I have two drives fail on my 3 drive RAID-1, the array's not going to mysteriously disappear.. and I'd hope my RAID-10's can survive at least some combinations of multiple drive failure:)
EAC has 3 ripping modes; "Burst", "Paranoid" and "Secure". The Secure mode is widely regarded as the highest quality CD-DA ripping method available anywhere. Don't forget that offset correction though.
That'd be great if Creative sound cards didn't resample to 48KHz, badly;)
That's also assuming they're actually playing the CD-DA, and not some crappy "CD Quality" WMA, and assuming Creative sound drivers don't impliment some form of DRM for this kind of thing (I've read about stuff like that *shudder*). Even if it is playing the CD-DA, it's doubtless going to be using a basic burst ripper rather than something like EAC's Secure Mode, and even if it were, it's still way too much work ripping and tagging. I can't think of any piece of music that would be worth that much effort to rip.
Yup, that's basically useless to me; if I can't rip my music to my HD in *my* format of choice and play it in *my* player of choice, I really don't want to know.
Big labels would do well to make it easier to get what I want, because if they don't someoneelse* surely will.
* Anyone else? These are the only two places I'm aware of where I can buy FLAC's for download.
Instead of up arrow and enter, try "g search terms". It's an extra keypress (g and a space instead of Up), but the keys are closer to where you're typing, and it works in Mozilla, Firefox, Opera and can be made to work with IE quite easily:)
"As another reader pointed out there is a serious drool factor in a dual core AMD Opteron. Other than the gamers and overclockers one does not need dual cores or multi-GHz clock speeds for most applications."
Opterons are aimed at the server and workstation market. Turning a 1U 2-way Opteron pizzabox into a 4-way one by replacing the CPU's and upgrading the BIOS is *extremely* attractive, and despite your little anecdote about the 100MHz slashdotted webserver, multi-GHz and multi-CPU is kinda important when you're serving tens of thousands of users and pay for every U of space, especially if you're serving them with a complex database and code-intensive application or if you're providing hosting for a bunch of users.
The 1 in 455 figure is for you an an individual. The absolute proability of such an event happening is very low, but if it did happen, it would affect *everyone*. Plane crashes happen quite a lot, but their level of affect is vanishingly small compared to an extinction event, so the probability that you yourself will be involved in one is comparitively low.
It's also fairly clear that, with more people alive now than at any previous point in history, the probability that any given human will experience such a major event is higher than it's ever been. That doesn't mean it's more likely to happen, just that there are more people who would be affected if it did.
Doesn't mean we need to bankrupt ourselves in the process of colonizing Mars or whatever, but certainly with so many people absolutely dependent on one single resource it makes sense to put a fair amount of effort into reducing that dependency.
I have piles and piles of books waiting to be read. Does this make me a rubbish collector too? They must take over 100x as much (physical) space and probably cost me more than my HD's, so I must be a complete idiot!
XHTML 1.1 is merely a modular reimplementation of XHTML 1.0 Strict, which is merely an XML reimplementation of HTML 4.01 Strict. Target was deprecated in HTML 4.01, and simply doesn't exist in Strict, and ergo doesn't in the document types derived from it.
XHTML 1.1 also lacks the compatibility profile which "legitimizes" serving it as text/html, so unless you're doing content negotiation and some document transformation so it only goes to XHTML-aware clients, it's really not that useful.
Damn right. Most people seem to be using XHTML for the sake of it being newer than HTML, rather than for any practical reason; effectively people are embracing a technology which needs ugly hacks to shoehorn it into the HTML world (courtesy of those ultra-forgiving HTML parsers the same people tend to criticize), and they have almost nothing to show for it, bar a warm fuzzy feeling from thinking they're doing the Right Thing[TM].
This is what conditional GET does. The client sends If-Modified-Since: $last_timestamp and If-None-Match: $e_tag_of_last_download headers and the server can respond with Not Modified as it sees fit.
I've had this address since my second month online. I use it for countless mailing lists, services, and even copyright notices; changing it simply isn't feasable without more hassle than I'm prepared to go through. I will not be bullied into dropping it.
At 500 spams/day and rising. Maybe I should switch SpamAssassin to spamd mode:/
Don't worry; the general spamminess of TMDA challanges (since they're inevitably containing spam/viruses) has led my content filter to automatically move them to my SPAM folder.
Thanks for helping to make my problems worse, though.
I'm sure you could write a NZB client which used Google Groups to retrive articles. It's not likely to be a lot of use though, given that they only list discussion groups:)
Foobar provides you with enough rope to detect the way you prefer to do it automatically.
I've got single tracks tagged with %singletrack%, and compilations with an %album artist% tag as well as the track %artist%. It's a few $if() statements in your formatting strings to teach it, be that in the playlist, status bars, or the database display. I find most existing format strings support this by default, but of course if you want to do something different.. foobar won't stop you:)

Did you try gvinum? I gather the original vinum's been getting rusty in 5, and has been removed entirely in favour of gvinum in HEAD at least.
gmirror and gstripe are also well worth looking at.

Well done on missing the point entirely though

So does Opera.
In answer to your first and second question, Yes.
Not really what these search tools are about, but that's not what you asked.
I use a better compressor.
You've got a blackholing firewall set up on loopback? Why?

You'd imagine they'd gzip content if they really gave a damn about their bandwidth bill, especially for things like static files.

I'm sure Deja aren't the only archive about, although perhaps the most complete.
