Who's to blame for this then? not you. You've already ensured you hadn't linked to it. Not the opera user, as they have read the document, and respecting your privacy they've not mentioned it to anyone else.
I went through the same a while ago. The "right settings" seems are in the screen you see when you first run Opera, where you're asked if it will use generic ads or the google-powered text ones (this ads should be related to your browsing, so your browsed pages get crawled).
When it happened to my super-secret recently-setup upload script... damn I was *scared*... I still wear my aluminium hat!
It isn't more secure. It's just more obfuscated, because it's more complex. But that doesn't make it more secure, it makes it potentially _less_ secure.
So? Let's use simpler, one-char passwords then. They must be safer...
Stop imaginating... that's exactly what I use when I leave home. And I know of a few others who do the same.
There's nothing as comfortable as having the exact same instances of your apps available anywhere you (and an Internet connection) are. And not paying for an expensive laptop, mind you.
I frequently conclude that GNU Screen is the one of the most useful and undervalued piece of software available today. There are pretty good console apps for just about anything, and this beauty renders them independent of the "viewpoint" and interruption-resistant.
BTW: mutt, emacs, slrn and centericq are almost all you need to be "online", besides a browser (which, if you are connected back home, you will almost surely have at your disposal locally).
Also, if you get lucky and get your hands on an X server and a ssh client, you can also check out your emacs window just as you left it on your $display at home. Think of a multi-head enabled X app, speaking compressed-X11 to you, instead of a VNC-ish solution:-)
Yes, it *can* be run on that. I personally used a p-200/80RAM until a while ago, and everything can indeed be loaded. The problem is, I had to wait almost 3 minutes until OOo could say hello. And with Xft enabled the pain is greater.
On the same machine, M$ crap (win98+office97) did just fine. I'm talking about loading time and user input response time. Windoze menus seems to be kicked out of the screen when clicked, compared to gnome or kde equivalents. ICEwm and others are snappier, yes, but usually they're not what you setup for end-end-end-users.
..Their OSes are relatively simple to use and cheap...
Cheap compared to what? OS/2 was expensive? You need to consider the price of every new version, and the 3rd party software needed to keep it working properly (firewall, antivirus, etc.). If you add it all, only very successful bussiness can afford it (hence piracy in a lot of small bussiness, at least here in the 4rd world).
Microsoft's 'monopoly' isn't about using it's power to force little guys out of the market
To some people Open Office has a great performance/cost ratio that overrides some features in MS Office
That's right; the only real showstopper here is in the performance department. It's a pity Linux can run smoothly on a p-166, but when you need an easy-to-use desktop, {kde,gnome}+OOo, raise the bar usually up to 1GHz and up (same for ram).
Only two desktops? You speak as if KDE and Gnome are gonna have a celebrity deathmatch sometime in the near future. Actually, you're right. And during this fight, Fluxbox will jump in and stomp all over them both, and then we'll FINALLY have a single "desktop".
But, I had to get a *complete* new PeeCee just 'cause my mobo was so f*cked up that it would only accept some theoretically-existing memory type nowhere to be found in my local area. That would be PC66 not-too-dense (with a lot of chips) modules, so bye bye commonly found 128 MiB and up supplies. 32 MiB was what I already was using (plus a couple of 8 MiB SIMMs), and the 64 MiB ones where what I looked everywhere. No luck.
So yes, there is someone else right now using that 80 MiB-limited PeeCee. And there may be a lot others. The word "bloated" means a lot to them.
Seriously, it's just like working among fine art. Not like plastic paintings, but the most delicate, stylish yet functional gui. That's for wmaker at least, 'cause I can't say the same about AS.
I'll try the original NeXTStep any day to see what else I'm missing (didn't like GNUStep look and feel... that's a different animal).

I second that. It's the 3D game with the highest fun:polygons ratio.

You forgot perl -e at the beginning...

What about stuff like this?
To some people Open Office has a great performance/cost ratio that overrides some features in MS Office

What's really needed is to "merge" something like slashdot, squirrelmail, jabber, and evolution to create an entirely new beastie!
mabhatter, meet Emacs!
Well, I'll go for an *Orc* comment, thanks.
Does that include remote exploits for DOS? (not DoS, mind you!)
Yeah, as if it will be any easier to install it on her el'cheapo x86-ish PeeCee.
(does Darwin count as "friendly" and "easy" too?)
Am I l337 or what?!
...the Java port of OpenOffice
Gee.. that's a complete new meaning for bloat, you know?
perl -nle 'print join " ", map {/(^.)(.*)?(.$)?/; $1.(join "", (sort {(-1,1)[rand 2]} split
I tkhni this will be teh nxte gtnaoiener of R31OT epn.nitocir Jtus as we,ka btu a lto qrieukc to dpetyrc
That would be Enlightenment 1.0, thanks.
Uhm.. you said near future... tricky, tricky...

But we ALL know what you REALLY MEANT. You're just too shy to admit it, so I'll write it down for you:
Oh, it's better now. BTW, responsible people do not do:
And very responsible people don't even think about raising than 100 in an order of magnitude... that would be wrong!
Cheaper version (still fun I guess): What if they put just a flat mirror in front of it?!

2)Window edge snapping while moving/resizing windows
:) ;-)
:-D
Got this already!
3) better virtual desktop implementation
When do you "enjoy" it.. while looking at the code? (seriously, what's wrong with wmaker's one).
4) Menus adjusting to your use pattern, by propping up recently used ubitems into higher level menus
I could get used to that
5) XML images
Can't see this as an advantage yet. I'll better try it out sometime.
6) Better ICCCM compliance
7) Extended WM specs compliance
That's lovable. Any drag&drop (XDND maybe) support?
8) I'm better then Alfredo
Your spelling says it
and where is
9) simplicity and elegance
in your list?
