In 6.11 for Linux, you can go to File -> Preferences and in the first listing on the left (General), the very first option is to "Open windows inside the Opera workspace" -- if I understood your post correctly, unchecking that should provide the result you're looking for.
Not trying to be a troll here.. I really liked Opera 6.x, but I always found the fonts difficult to read, so I ended up using Mozilla more frequently. Have there been many (any?) improvements with 7.11 that don't require a lot of adjustments to the default settings?
judging by your e-mail address, i'll assume you live in the u.s.. this country is not a democracy, was never intended to be one, and the writers of the constitution intentionally avoided creating one. the u.s. is a republic with a system of representative democracy, and there is a significant difference.
in a true democracy, the rights of any minority go unprotected.
i'll be happy to see the RIAA die as they become obsolete and refuse to change, but i'd rather see the marketplace do that to them instead of mob-rule laws.
I'm no expert on license terms, but I believe the answer is "No".
Reason: Red Hat Linux has all kinds of trademarks in it, which can't be redistributed without permission. Therefore, you'd have to remove every instance of those trademarks from the software before you "leak" it. Don't know about you, but the general release would happen long before I was finished with that task.
I don't think anyone at Red Hat would get upset if you make a copy for a friend, but I wouldn't try selling CD-R's of it on eBay.

Not to say it's a bad idea.. I don't watch much TV, but I think HBO had all kinds of awards for best this and best that at the last Emmy ceremony. Perhaps we'll see some more of it in the industry.
Okay, let's imagine I'm a criminal and you're going to be my victim.. Would you rather me use a computer to steal money from you (and from 10,000 other people as well), or would you prefer me to thrust a knife in your chest and watch you suffer for an hour before you die?
Both are wrong, but I think I know which one I'd prefer to be the victim of.
There's something very pure, almost magical, about live music.. It's exactly because it's not polished, touched-up, edited, and shined that gives it power.. Live music is just more real, somehow. When you see your favourite band live, the album seems disappointing compared to the show. A CD of the show you were at could be sentimental as well (assuming you weren't too blitzed to remember a single bit..) The little mistakes and nuances make the music sound better, if you ask me, like it's being played by real people instead of computer synthesizers. Because after all, that's exactly what's happening.
In our world of microprocessor perfection, sometimes we need some human art.
Actually, prohibition was created by the 18th Amendment to the Constitution -- therefore it wasn't unconstitutional. (Until it was repealed by the 21st Amendment, at least..)
Considering the lack of scientific evidence and the sudden political shouts, I actually wouldn't be surprised if it was written by someone working for RIAA.
Here is a "Scientist", who is in favour of pirating music -- I'm on your side and all that -- but WAIT! It's BAD for you!
Okay. So they say they're almost to the point of breaking even, which implies they've paid off a great deal of their debts. They say they have a solid business plan for the future.
If that were true, then they should be able to simply borrow money from a bank.
Yes. That's how banks make money -- they loan money to businesses with a good plan for earning a profit, and then recoup the investment with interest. The company uses the profit they earn to pay the loan balance.
If Mandrake can't get a loan, do you really believe in their Not Very Specific At All plans?
On the contrary.. Suppose I bought an eBook. If my hard drive crashes, wouldn't I like to have a backup? If I didn't know how to replace a hard drive (think Average Joe user) and just bought a new computer, wouldn't I like to copy it to the new system? Or suppose I first loaded the eBook on a laptop computer while I was travelling, and now I'd like to move it to my desktop computer that has a bigger screen.
And if I just want to read the book without paying for it, wouldn't I just go to the public library?
You're making the same mistake that RIAA is driving the music industry into the ground with -- assuming the customers are theives.
Feel free to read the articles on the Elcomm case again (or at all) and tell us how many examples of pirated eBooks Adobe was able to find. (Hint: zero.)
Isn't it ironic that the ammount of violent crime increases when guns are made illegal? Put yourself in the shoes of a violent criminal. Would you prefer a victim whom you know is unarmed, or a victim who might just send you to the grave?
Guns are legal because they serve the legal purpose of self defense. It's unfortunate that they can serve other purposes.
Elcomsoft's software should be legal because it serves the legal purpose of fair use under U.S. copyright law. It's unfortunate that it can serve other purposes, and even more unfortunate that our "freedom-loving government" here would prevent the legal use because someone might do something illegal with it.
You're exactly right. People pirating music via the 'net are hardly the music industry's biggest problem. If I think about the music I've downloaded lately, almost all I can think of is:
1. Songs I have on some old legally-purchased cassettes or vinyl records that barely play anymore. I think that's fair use, don't you?
2. Music from independent artists who want me to download their songs.
3. Really obscure songs by artists that I've purchased all the Official RIAA-Approved albums from.
Ten years ago, I was running to the music store with the money I had from a part-time high-school job and buying every import single my local mom'n'pop store could get for me. But these days, there just isn't any music coming out from the major labels that interests me.
Maybe the problem is the internet -- why buy, or even pirate, commercial music when you can find genuinely good, original songs by bands who want you to have it for free? Why pay almost us$20 for a CD you know you'll be tired of next week? Of course sales are down -- quality is down even more.

No, no.. The current phrase is "has been rehabilitated"!
in the same way that LAME Ain't an Mp3 Encoder? ;)
(i know, it's an api-layer translator thingy of some sort, not an emulator.. but i just couldn't pass on the joke.)

New idea? I think it's called HBO and Showtime...

What the hell are you talking about??

White collar crimes are the worst? Puh-lease.

Yeah. I don't buy it, either.
