I thought Opera felt a bit off when I tried it for the first time (version 5, I think). I hated the side panel (I still really don't use it) and I hated tabbed browsing (which I love now). The first positive thing that I really noticed was the instant back-button (I had a modem at the time).
Then I read about mouse gestures. The concept was odd at first, but after trying them for a few days I could't really use any other browser anymore. I mean who wants to mouse all the way up there just to go back one page, then wait agonising seconds before the last page appears.
I also have not noticed Azureus using memory or processor any more than any other program. And this is on a machine with 512 MB of memory.
On my machine by far the worst resource hog is F-Secure's real-time scanning. That can really bog down a machine. Especially when trying to open a compressed file. Add to that the virus scanning proxy that downloads and scans any files before it lets the browser get them...
I've wondered where the spammers have been hiding all this time. You fuckers spammed the hell out of my guestbook while I made no promises not to delete any messages. Here you have Slashdot, one of the world's most popular discussion forums and they do not delete (practically) any comments. Sure you will be moderated to -1 in no time, but the message will still be there for everyone to see, if they choose to.
Usually you are much more inventive. What the hell took you shitheads this long this time?
True, I still haven't switched, nor do I intend to, but I made myself a Mythtv box out of an old computer. I still use Windows on my main computer, but my media box runs Linux.
In SA the rampages are two-player. You walk to an icon that has two skulls in it an then press a button on the second controller. Then you go on a rampage together.

"See if it can express withdrawal symptoms from it is drug of choice" WTF?
"Take away it is collection of circuit diagrams" WTF?
Replace "a while" with "8 years", and the above statement is true.
Opera 9 is really close to perfect.

Try the session saver extension mentioned above. Or you could try Opera, which has the feature built in.
Yeah, and the NPCs should not all drive the same car you just drove.
You suck.
I have no prblem with it requiring broadband, I oppose (primarily) online play because of other players.
It's a good thing that I surf with referrer logging disabled on my Opera, then.
LOL What?
Well, it it pretty much the same thing. The software (Corporate or otherwise) just automates the running-amuck.
So run the setup as Administrator. Either right-click on the icon and select "Run as..." or use the command line and use the command "runas."
Half-Life 2 doesn't require Administrator rights. Punkbuster does.
Yeah, but still, Blue screen of death, LOL. Am I right or what, guys?
That's just one more reason to turn off autorun.

I had Castlevania: Dawn of sorrow freeze on me once. And countless original steam-Gameboy games have frozen.
System Shock 2 was very scary. Those voices telling me to "join them" (or something) creeped the hell out of me.
Also, in Metroid Prime when you got the heat visor, and the lights went out. I thought that was pretty scary.
Or Perl, Python or Ruby.
I think that was all of them.
