If you want to avoid the proxy, then look towards Opera Mobile. As Kelson pointed out above, this is the "real" mobile browser from Opera. Mini is designed to get users in the door with whatever phone or device they might have (I use it on my crappy RAZR phone)
I would recommend you look at Opera Mobile before Mini. Of course, you have to pay for that one, but there is a trail IIRC
well said.
I bought a used gamecube in the last 6 months and have been enjoying it quite a bit with my 5 year old son.
although...I have noticed there's nothing comparable to Gran Turismo, (although I haven't looked too hard).

Agreed- the graphics seem to get you in the door. I spend maybe a few rare minutes observing the graphics and it tends to be during the lull in the gameplay... ie- as I'm wondering around looking for a secret item or some such.
I imagine you'll see a browser sync that is integrated with the my.opera domain that also integrates the mobile web environment, which will be a nice step forward in sync (Reference CNet news: For Opera, smaller really is better)
Specifically and personally, I think that Opera is a great tool for fans of those really big swiss-army knives. It's an everything-in-one approach, much like the original Mozilla Suite and Seamonkey, and that totally works for some people. However, the experience can be quite overwhelming for the average Web user.
I disagree with this. With a Swiss Army knife, you can't get at the blade because the spoon, compass, screwdriver, and leather-punch-thingie are in the way. That's not the case in Opera at all. If I had to say anything about Opera features (download size,mail,irc,bittorrent,voice,mouse gestures,MDI,) it would be...
For those who don't need it, it's mostly out of the way and costs them nothing in terms of usability. But when you do need it, it's there, and it helps.
I too would like insight. Do they have an "gentlemen's agreement" (lets face it, they probably *are* all male) for going to the bathroom? I would imagine it would work in shifts... but you're right- does Best Buy have to recognize that line? Nothing would be more amusing if on opening day I bum rush in front of the line and make my way to the PS3s before they do... afterall, I'll be well slept, nourished and refreshed, and I'm not certain- but I'm pretty sure I could take 'em in a dead sprint. I'm thinking dudes that camp out for a video game console for week don't put exercise/fitness high on the priority list. But I'm just guessing there.
Why not libertarian then? What does the democratic party have to do with less government? Both parties are increasing government, just because the reps were doing it most recently doesn't mean the dems will be any better.
Re: 3)
Really? I haven't seen that show yet, but I've seen this scence your talking about. I'd find it hard to believe nobody has addressed this yet -unless your "glacier changing sizes seasonally" thing isn't correct which I'm too lazy to look up.
Anyway- I don't pay much attention to global warming stuff, and I assume I'm talking out of my behind here... but I don't hear anything at all about the rotation of the earth. I know it's tens of thousands of years to effect major climate change involving the "wobble" of the earth, but it's always seemed so fragile to me that the tilt of the earth is enough to cause our seasons, so a slight variation in the wobble would cause those seasons to be extended/shortened etc.
I guess that stuff is measurable though and someone would have noticed by now if we're in the "warm phase" of that wobble.
It makes it unreasonable if the primary reason you got into shoe sales was to sell a particular brand of shoe that is popular *because* they are difficult to tie....wait, I'm lost. Oh well, here's your wet blanket mr. joke analogy downer.
Opera allows you by default* the shring the tabs so they all fit on one line. They get to eventually you just see the favicon of the site... and then *that* starts to shrink.
You can also line wrap which some people prefer. Either are more acceptable that the arrow menu IMO
*Not certain- my installs have been over the top of old ones, so I'm not sure if that's a default setup
...Oh, and I think it makes more sense to have the tabs above the address/page navigation stuff, but I realize that IE/FF users mostly don't like that. So keep in mind that you could apply the same steps to either toolbar, and you can swap the position of the tab and address bar.
If you can't bring your nav arrows to your File/Edit.. toolbar, you should bring your File/Edit... toolbar to your nav toolbar:)
I've seen this done several ways:
First, shut off the File/Edit/....Help toolbar so it's gone completely. Then: 1)Use the previously mention wiki to add each button back to your address bar or where you'd like them.
2)Use a drop down button that you click to get a drop down of all the Tool/Edit features (this saves space, but adds more "clicks")
3)(my choice) is to just have small button on the toolbar that turns on the tool/edit/help menu. Since I rarely use these (shortcut keys to get to all the dialogs) this seems to work best.
Menu On: http://files.myopera.com/Eddie_Lopez/files/toolmen u2.gif...look at the "09" button there. This turns my tool/edit bar on off. But you could just as easily leave that off all the time, and instead of the "09" have your own "File" "Edit"..."Help" buttons.
For what it's worth- I'm only 29 and almost all my CDs that I own are from your generation of the music you've listed and further still...I also have old Country like Hank Williams, J. Cash, and Motown- Smokey Robinson and the Miracles etc, and lets not forget the smooth stylings of Johnny mathis. I'd wager that about 80% of my library was recorded well before I was born. Anyway, the point is, I agree that something is lost.
But yes... I agree that music moves you. My only point is what's wrong with buying some music that you think is just ok every once in awhile. "yeah, that song's kind of catchy...."
So you said you were picky about buying a CD saying that you'd have to like 2-3 songs before you'd buy it. Me too! except it's usually 3-4 songs.:) I just use iTunes for albums that only had just one good song on it you know? Or for trying out a new sound... and new type or genre of music. I give a good run and if I like it, I test around more, look for whatelse I might like. Sometimes, that leads me to go out and buy an album of stuff I really like....I don't know, I don't see what's so terribly wrong with that. But slashdot seems to think I'm mr. DRM himself.
I buy CDs of music I like for artists I like. There's just not that many out there that I like. So I buy iTunes tracks for stuff I think is ok, but my life isn't over if Apple sends all my songs to SkyNet and enslaves us all.
Thanks- you're about the only one it seems. That sums it up I guess. But everyone on slashdot seems to assume that:
a)My taste in music is exactly the same as a 29 year old as it was when I was 13.
b)If I don't listen to a song anymore, it's because it's bubblegum/top10/radio run/mass marketed etc and not because my appreciation for music isn't growing beyond what it was when I was in 10th grade.
But how about the ones you *don't* listen to anymore. Those are the ones I'm talking about. If you're telling me your entire CD library from 20 years ago is just as relevant/meaningful in your life as it is today...well, I'd say bravo good sir.
Maybe I like music *more* than the next guy. Maybe I want to experience many types of sounds, styles, artists etc. Sometimes I succeed in finding something I like but most of the time I don't. Why is it silly to spend time and money in pursuit of education/learning?
Oh.. so I'm getting beat up by music purists for not exacting the same standards on picking music as I do in a wife, and now I'm supposed to impose this stuff on others?
When did I ever say I'm against buying a CD (or physical media) for great music?
Why did you buy all that crappy music?
Girlfriends, gifts, for parties, learning what I like, realizing what I don't like... you know- life.
If your music purchases don't withstand the test of time...
...then maybe I shouldn't by the CD and put it in a protective casing? Maybe, if it's not going to stand the test of time... just maybe I should only spend a dollar on a crappy encoding that is sorta mine, but not really. But if it is, maybe I should take measures to ensure it's around when I want it.
It's halloween, I'd like to get some scary music for my front yard, and there's going to be a party at my house with some coworkers. So, I should just go straight for the "Bloc Party" CD because of the awesome lyrics and great music, and everyone will be happy then?
My point is there's room for both. The OP said s/he didn't understand how anyone could pay for nothing and not have something tangible.
