  1. Re:ASP, ua.ini on Opera: Firefox User Figures 'Inflated' · · Score: 1

    I really don't have any problems using Opera in day-to-day surfing. Very rarely some site refuses to work with the Opera UA string. I, too use Opera as my UA string and think that Opera should use it as the default.

  2. Re:This is Interesting on Opera: Firefox User Figures 'Inflated' · · Score: 1

    Opera reports itself as "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; en) Opera 8.01" when using "Identify as Internet Explorer." So this method only works on sites that scan the user agent for "internet explorer" and let the browser pass if it is found.

  6. Zero Wing was valuable for a while on All Your Base Are Turned Five · · Score: 1

    A friend of mine used to own the game. When I explained the phenomenon that had grown around it, 3-4 years ago, he was disappointed that he had sold it earlier, because at the time the cart sold for a pretty good sum on ebay.

  8. Re:Similar program in Finland on CA State Offers To Prepare Simple Tax Returns · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if you can do it online. Like the grandparent post said, you get a paper form mailed to your home, and you go over it. If you have corrections, you send them in the included pre-paid envelope.

    So far the only thing I have felt necessary is to check if I get any returns. Maybe if you own a business or are eligible to deductions you have to do more work with your taxes.

    I just invented this great name: Opera. Or maybe "Mozilla Opera."

    NO, WAIT: Firebird.

    Without even visiting the link, you can see that www.how-to-make-money-online.info is clearly a spam site.

    Then why aren't the other sections called "Apache Online", "Apple Online", "Ask Slashdot Online", "Books Online", "BSD Online", "Developers Online", "Games Online", "Hardware Online", "Interviews Online", "IT Online", "Linux Online", "Politics Online" and "Science Online?"

  19. Re:How about those recommended specs? on Battlefield 2 Demo Available · · Score: 1

    How about letting the user decide what resolution to use, even it's 567*1631?

  20. Re:How about those recommended specs? on Battlefield 2 Demo Available · · Score: 1

    17-inch-screens have developed the most in the last few years. They have the best refresh rates, and they are cheaper than 19-inch-screens. And most 19-inchers have the same resolution and slower response than 17-inchers.

    I don't have any real data to back this up, but I'm pretty sure most players have come to the same conclusion as I have.

  24. Re:Yeah, but... on If Bad Software Developers Built Houses... · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The teacher of our software testing course said that because software engineering is such a young business, people expect the impossible.

    If you were building a house, no-one would come and say that you need to add one more floor that is twice as wide between floors 2 and 3 when you are already making the roof. Oh and it's done in two weeks, right?
