30 tabs/is/ basic browsing. Tabs are the new back-button.
I guess Opera spoiled everybody when they introduced the tabbed browsing environment, and its low memory footprint. Now, people will open links in new tabs, sort of a reading queue, and then close the tab, instead of going back, back, back. Especially with sites like slashdot, digg, reddit, blogs, search engines, porn thumb galleries, etc. Where each link is represents a "fork" in your browing.
Look at Firefox versus IE 6 - heck, Firefox basically "inspired" IE 7 (tabs, search bar on the top right, extensions, etc. etc.) That's what led to the huge masses adopting it.
You should give credit to the right people. Two of those three are Opera innovations, that Firefox copied. Not that Firefox is not a good browser. I'm just saying who actually did this first.
Why not use a windows based network bridge and run the monitor software on that? Then he could connect via the bridge, using Linux or whatever he'd like.
Microsoft must redristribute GPL v3 licensed software in order to be bound by that license. As far as I can tell, no software is redistributed by Micorsoft under GPL v3. So why would it apply to MS?
Microsoft is free to drag people to court over patent issues, if they feel their rights have been violated, even if those alleged violations are in GPL v3 software. Only those that either uses, copies or redistributes the GPL software are bound by its license. Not MS.
I've got one of those 2GB iAUDIO5's and would recommend it. It doesn't support ReplayGain, or multiple playlists, but it's allright. You should scrap the included earbuds, though. They suck!
Actually, Iceland is in the middle of the Gulf stream, heating it up. It is kinda chilly on Iceland, but that is mostly due to the wind. In January the average temperature in Reykjavik is just -0.4 degrees C.
It's the same in Norway. It is actually not that bad, the Gulf stream heats up the entire coast. Luleå, on the other hand is not exposed to the Atlantic. Therefore Sweden, as well as Russia and inland-Canada is alot colder than both Iceland and Norway in winter.
The only problem is that I find myself doing that right-click-drag thing eveywhere else, whenever I want to get back. I do it without thinking three or four times in explorer (the file browser) before I realize that I'm not in Opera.
Yes, but there's more to a Audio CD than the actual tracks. The audio parts may be unaltered, but other parts are. Therefor, these CD's aren't Red Book-compliant Audio CD's.
Appearently the parts that are altered, are either not covered by the red book standard, or altered in such a manner that they still comply. Because I doubt that they are plainly lying about this beeing red book-compliant.
I could off course be mistaken about this.
I just sent an email to Apple, asking if there were any official plans for ogg vorbis support in the near future, as the tech spec page says that the firmware is upgradable to enable "support for future audio formats"
I put my usual.sig in the mail, stating my address and phone number. Two days later Apple called(!) me on my cell phone (they even got me a person speaking my own language) and told me that thay could not give me an unofficial anwser to that, but they had noticed that at least one person (me), was interested, and that they off cource would act on market needs.
I therefore suggests that other people do likewise. The email for public relations on the iPod is found here.
According to the How it works-page on the official Key2Audio-site, this copy-protection actually don't compomise the red book-standard:
The high reliability is due to the fact that the audio part fully complies with the Red Book standard - not a single bit is changed in the audio data stream - i.e.: no uncorrectable errors are used to protect the audio data. This gives the highest audio quality for your protected music.
I've allready done this. I've run some cables from my room to the bathroom, and hooked up some speakers in there. All I have to do is to set up a playlist on my computer and press play before I go to the bathroom.
The only problem is that I share bathroom with three other people, and I don't have enough line-outs on my amplifier, so whats on in my room, is on in the bathroom. So now my roommates have to listen to my Neil Young records all the time.
Still, IE 6 is leaps ahead of any other browser that's available at the moment, and I for one feel that not using IE 6 if you're using Windows is somewhat akin to cutting off one's nose to spite one's face...
What do you mean? Have you actually tried any other browser for Windows. On my windows-box I only use opera, and I fail to see how IE6 is better than Opera in any way.
It's small: only a 1.9meg download (7 meg if you want java support) and that's the entire download (not just some installer that downloads the rest)
It runs on a 486
Opens fast
It renders HTML faster than both IE and mozilla
It was the first of the above mentioned to support mouse gestures for faster navigation
It has a superior window interface
It's available on Linux, BeOS, Mac, OS/2, QNX, and EPOC as well as Windows (though developement has not reached as long as the windows edition)
Some DHTML is not yet supported, but that's the only drawback. IE falls short on any of the above mantioned features.

Am I missing the point?
Humanity will outlive the Earth, I am sure.

Really?!?
American TVs don't have that off-switch? Why not?
Why not just not use it? So what do you do when you leave your house for a vacation? Pull the plug?

Xiph is a group (I believe European or something to get the odd-to-my-USian-ear names) that puts out codecs.

Sounds American to me.
how did they forget a Pentium that actually beats an AMD chip running at 2/3 its clock speed?
They do have processors that beats AMD running at 3/2 the clock speed.
Oh wait... two thirds..
Am I satisfied?!
I am VERY satisfied.
The only problem is that I find myself doing that right-click-drag thing eveywhere else, whenever I want to get back. I do it without thinking three or four times in explorer (the file browser) before I realize that I'm not in Opera.
I say more programs should copy this feature.

But that's not really *my* problem, is it.

Hey! That's a futurama-joke!
If MSN shuts out other browsers, well that sucks I guess, but I have no inalienable right to read MSN with Oper.a
I know this is a bit off topic, but MSN is open for Opera-users now. Your point about your "rights", however, is still valid.
