Well, Google is an ICANN accredited registrar, so it would be very easy for them to set up a system to allow you to purchase a domain, and get x free hosting space... and then for a fee offer more space. Hell, they could even throw in a AdWords credit for new domains (GoDaddy.com does it for their hosting packages).
Keep in mind, they also just started the GMail for your domain or whatever the program is called... this could allow them to provide free email via GMail to any domains hosted by Google.
I don't know what you were looking at. If you go to Opera.com it clearly states (multiple times) that the browser is now free. More information is available at Opera.com/free or in the official press release.
Yup... Opera has stated in the IRC, Blog, and forums that if you purchased Opera in the last 30 days you can get a full refund.
I've purchased Opera no less than 5 times over the years (home, work, family, new version, etc.) and still I don't have an issue with Opera now releasing the product as free. I'll continue to support the product and the company. I like doing that for quality software.
Some people don't see the $39.00 USD price for Opera as an issue. I'm one of those people.;)
I can't even count how many times I've spent $40-$50 on a game, only to not play it or only play it for a few weeks. With Opera, I've gotten something that I use daily at home as well as at work.
Even if Opera was 100% free 100% all of the time, I'd still send in donations. I just think it is that good.
I've been using Opera for probably 4 years now, and couldn't be happier. IMO, Opera has been (and still is) well worth the price. Obviously I'm not alone as many other people also purchase Opera.:P
Though, for those of you who run websites, blogs, or whatever there is another way for you to get Opera for free. And that is simply by sending 250 referrals to Opera. So if you miss out on the birthday party, you want to look into that.
I look forward to Opera's 20th birthday and beyond!
[Most commonly] A Chinese person who plays the American version of the game using cheat, exploits, or macros with the intent of collecting a massive amount of gold (in game money).
The gold is then sold via the internet for real life cash.

Farming doesn't always mean it is a Chinese person though. That is just the most common use of the term. Farming (or grinding) can also mean a person is out killing a lot of monsters with the intention of getting large amounts of gold (or exp).

Good news... you can still buy Opera, if you trade on the OSE.

This isn't a "limited time thing".

Free Opera is even better!

Don't forget Opera-Watch... :P It's probably the best site as far as insider info and news about the Opera Browser.
I use Opera because it works for me. I tried it, I liked it, now I use it. The only person that can tell you why you should use it is you. :P

I'd much rather read a topic like this. :P
It's not dead yet. :P

....or an IM client.
I'd hope not. Gecko is slow... and, well... it sucks. I'd rather see it use Presto.
Yeah... Google Desktop Search 1.0 (Gold) supported Thunderbird indexing. Link for the unbelieving: http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=6 188
No. Hell is on Mars, located below one of our research labs.

AC is correct...
You can also get it at some of the other UI sites:

I bet mounts become BoP Unique before long.
Dupe post! /. ban him!
Why not? They've had rollbacks before.
I'd have to agree with you there. And the banning of a few more idiots will only improve things. :P
It is Tuesday, A.K.A. maintenance and patch day. Can't think of a Tuesday since the game was release when it wasn't down on Tues for at least 8 hours.
I thought mounts were soulbound on purchase. Or is it like pets, and after the first use?
