Right wing radio is famous for this kind of thing where there's little to no fact checking and mostly relying on what other people say.
As is left wing radio. Your point being? Right wing is somehow worse than left wing? Have you seen the many lies being spread about the monkey at the White House (Dubya) lately? I mean, I hate him as much as anyone else, but lefties keep lying about him.
Excuse me, but what's wrong with changing one's opinion when faced with new facts or situations? What's wrong with realizing the errors of one's ways for whatever reason, and going in the other direction?
It is a "matter of fact". Or rather, to be more precise, it is a recognized and well known scientific theory (they don't like to call them "facts", but non-scientists will often do so because it's easier to say). It is so strong that one can indeed make it as a "matter of fact" statement.
Excuse me, but how on earth could you vote for Bush on those grounds? I don't get it. How can you trust such promises when his actions are the exact opposite?
Why do you say, "the world doesn't care (yet). HD will be it in a few years?" Yet you discount the fact that the PS3 has a HD-capable player in it which will take advantage of that "it" in a few years.
By then, the next console from MS and Nintendo will be released.
And Sony will be ready for this by including an Blu-Ray player in the PS3.
Emulating Firefox's limited and rather poor tab management is not exactly a goal... Opera's tab management is based on MDI, which has been around for years and years. Sure, it's simple if that's what you want, but it's also got a lot of flexibility if you need that. You can have it both ways: Simple and easy to use, and at the same time it is possible to do more advanced stuff. That's Opera.
the opera interface is the least intuitive of all the browsers i've tested
How can a browser which looks just like any other browser be "unintuitive"? Have you actually tried Opera lately? It has more page viewing space by default than Firefox!
i think the biggest problem for opera is organizing the features in a more intuitive manner so new users can access them and customize them, and also keeping the features from taking up all the space. opera definantly feels cluttered at times
That's it. You didn't even bother to try Opera before commenting. How is having one more button in the address bar than Firefox, and fewer menus by default, "cluttered"? Also, how is having more space for the actual page than Firefox "cluttered"?
Either you are lying and never tried Opera, or you customized Opera and made it cluttered yourself.
Not a lot of people are going to be doing extended surfing on these things.
Maybe they will. Gaming consoles are "less scary", cheaper, easier to use, etc. than PCs.
And regarding the Wii, I doubt that lots of people will be using it for Web surfing. As far as I know, it doesn't support HD, so you're stuck with standard TV resolution.
Even HD doesn't help when surfing on a TV, because you are typically not close enough to the TV to read the text anyway.
Which is why Opera has a special rendering mode for TVs. Which is why surfing on your TV could finally turn out to not be a frustrating experience.
How many people do you really think are going to do web browsing from their game system? I'll be interested to br proven wrong (I certainly was about the DS vs PSP), but I'll bet damn few, especially compared with the hordes of people on PC's. It won't even be a blip.
Not too convinced about that. PCs are scary things. Expensive, complicated, lots of problems...
If you can do the same you could with a PC, only on something a lot cheaper and easier to use - like a gaming console - I think "normal" people will take advantage of that.
M$ is just trying to force users into the next version of webtv
LOL. Sony is trying to force users into using their HD-DVD technology. This time around, they decided to use their gaming console to push BR on people. So they changed it from a gaming console to a BR crowbar.
The world doesn't care (yet). HD will be "it" in a few years. Right now, it's struggling with customer confusion (is that TV HD or not?), two HD formats to make things even more confusing, etc.
Wii is probably very cool for the right games, but for some games a keyboard/mouse, gamepad, joystick or steering wheel is the best.
Maybe, maybe not. But there's a classic controller available anyway, so who cares?
I look forward to finally seeing all three in action - hype is really tiresome.
You think so? Then you should really hate Sony. Sony, after all, has been caught lying again and again and again about their new consoles. Remember PS2 and all the fantastic stuff it could do? Turned out it couldn't do half of it when it was actually released...
I personally hope Sony fails miserably this time around. They are arrogant liars who treat their customers like dirt. They deserve to be smacked down like Nintendo was. Nintendo has learned its lesson, is now the underdog, and must act accordingly. Sony needs to learn this lesson too.
I used Flash 7 for a while, until I noticed that more and more sites started breaking. I upgraded to Flash 8 because I heard it was out and fixed those problems. However, people who don't get these tips from others will keep seeing broken sites because their Flash plugin is outdated.
Those 97% will only be reached if you build for a sufficiently old version of Flash...

Actually, that's just a normal crash bug and not exploitable.
Well, you had four years to observe his actions before the latest election :)

Most PS2 games would work, but not all.
The interface looks just like any other browser. If Opera is "unintuitive", then so is everything else.
Opera's interface is just like that of any other browser. It's even got more page viewing space by default than Firefox.

Lack of a specific feature does not equal "bad interface", Firefox fan.
Opera's interface is no more ugly than Firefox or any other browser.
