  1. Re:My reasons for not switching. on Opera Free as in Beer · · Score: 1

    Privoxy isn't that intelligent, it just uses regular expressions to rewrite the page. I use and like it, but it doesn't contain any heuristics or anything else that could be classified as intelligent.

  2. Re:Can someone please explain to me... on Opera Free as in Beer · · Score: 1

    Greasemonkey-like functionality is built into Opera. It's called user javascript. It's not 100% compatible, but it's pretty powerful nonetheless.

    Try ctrl-n, ctrl-d (paste and go). All the cool kids are doing it.

  4. Re:Can someone please explain to me... on Opera Free as in Beer · · Score: 1

    I haven't installed an IRC-client since I rarely use it. When I need IRC, I just use the one in Opera. It's prefectly fine client for a casual user like me.

  5. Re:Good on Opera Free as in Beer · · Score: 1

    I know you can add pretty much any search to Opera by editing .ini files. What I want is the ability to do it from the GUI, like FF.

  6. Re:What merits? on Opera Free as in Beer · · Score: 1

    When you right-click a toolbar in Opera and select customize, it opens up a window titled "appearance." On Firefox the equivalent window is titled "Customize toolbar."

    On both browsers you can drag and drop buttons from the customization window to a toolbar, but on Firefox you can also drag a button from a toolbar to the window to remove it. On Opera you can't do this. Instead you have to right-click a toolbar item and select remove. It is less intuitive.

    Of course a long-time Opera user might find Firefox's lack of "remove" context menu item somewhat counter-intuitive as well...

    considering the entire interface of firefox is rendered by the gecko engine using java

    Javascript. Not Java.

  8. Re:Good on Opera Free as in Beer · · Score: 1

    Go to Google.com, or any other place where you want to make a search. Right-click on the search field. Select "Add a keyword for this search". Type "g" into the keyword field. Done.

    That is one of the few features I want in Opera that Firefox has.

  9. Re:How's the mod scene now? on The UMD and PSP Getting Off The Ground · · Score: 1

    If you have an updated firmware, the scene is dead to you. Peoople are still developing stuff for the older firmware.

    What, Jon Johansen has been jailed? When did that happen?

  11. Re:The only stupid question is one not asked on PSP vs. DS Six Months On · · Score: 1

    I fail to see the relevance of these questions, but here are my answers:

    I have this thing called "a job." My employer gives me money in exchange for work I do.

    I imported my PSP and I imagine it is legal since I was not arrested when I went to get it from the customs office.

  12. Re:Which movies? on PSP vs. DS Six Months On · · Score: 1

    I live in Finland. I can download any film I want from a p2p network.

  13. Re:Third-party add-ons for 120 USD? on PSP vs. DS Six Months On · · Score: 1

    Besides, where do you get lawful copies of movies for the PSP other than the pitiful selection of UMD Video titles?

    I get them from movies I have downloaded off a p2p network. After that I encode them into mp4 and copy them onto a Memorystick.

  14. Re:Great idea, but many questions come to mind on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 1

    Could it be possible to control a game using one remote in each hand?

    Well, in the trailer there was that one guy that was playing some kind of drumming game using two controllers.

  15. Re:First thought was: on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 1

    Well, the nunchuck-approach looks like it could work similarly to mouse and keyboard.

  16. Re:This controller kills portability on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 1

    It's hard to convince people that a new game is the new hotness. "Sniper Killer looks like fun, but I'm not really sure if I'll like it. The last GTA was great, I bet Grand Theft Auto: The Next One is great too."

    And with games, sequels usually are better than the earlier games.

  17. Re:N64 credit... on The History of the Game Controller · · Score: 1

    PS3 uses bluetooth controllers. Unless they intentionally cripple their hardware, it will support 7 controllers.

  18. Re:N64 credit... on The History of the Game Controller · · Score: 1

    Sony remains steadfast against it, and is the poor sister when it comes to party and splitscreen games.

    Wrong. PS3 supports 7 controllers out of the box.

  19. Re:diputs reggin on Video Game Industry to Sue Michigan's Governor · · Score: 1

    A poor attempt.

  20. Re:How can people do this? on PSP Smashes Sales Records in the UK · · Score: 1

    Well, it still beats DS's lineup: Mario 64: Great, but I've already played it on the N64. Warioware touched: great, but like 10 minutes of play time. I think Meteos might be out in Europe, but I'm not sure.

  21. Re:Huh on PSP Smashes Sales Records in the UK · · Score: 1

    If I'm not getting paid for sitting in the bus, I'm not going to do any work on the bus.

    Three times. And you didn't use any other form of "definitely" in the whole message.

  23. "Definitely" on End of an Era For Zelda · · Score: 1

    "Definitely"
