I thought it was browser specific. Around 3:00PM GMT-5, I couldn't get on Google with Opera 7.54 (not my system), but could with Firefox 1.0.1 and (via telnetting into freeshell, because I hadn't tried Firefox yet, and thought it was Earthlink's problem) Links.
I almost wrote a JE about this...
For my searching needs, I simply used Earthlink's search during the outage. It uses Google's database, so same results...
MSWLogo (one of the OSS implementations of Logo - it's short for Microsoft Windows Logo) has dialogs all over the place saying "MS doesn't just stand for Microsoft - fund Multiple Sclerosis research".

So, what exactly is wrong with the Qualcomm chipset? Power consumption? Reliability? Signal strength?
I have a Nokia 6225 from Sprint, and it's the best phone I've ever had (counting the Ass Tonguers & Ticklers Nokia 3100 (only had that for about 16 days), the Nexthell Motorola i50sx and i60, the Sprint Nokia 3588i, and the Sprint Samsung SPH-A660 (that's a Qualcomm chipset one, FWIW)). OK, so the N3100 and the N3588i had better battery, but the N6225 has AWESOME signal - better than either the 3588i or the SPH-A660 - and that's with an internal antenna, as opposed to the retractable antennas of the others. I just wish that Nokia could write firmware that didn't have to be rebooted every few days...
Verizon's been advertising unlimited Verizon-to-Verizon SMS and MMS for $5/mo...
Sprint has 100 text messages for $5/mo, or unlimited with the data plan, IIRC. As for MMS, you can either pay $5/mo over the cost of the data plan, or get the Picture Mail version of the data plan for the same price (but less free downloads per month). That's unlimited MMS, FWIW...
Hmm... wouldn't be hard for someone to get a BASIC Stamp or a Lego Mindstorms robot to feed fruit and veggies into one of those Jack LaLanne Power Juicers (long weekend, too many infomercials), now, would it? One arm to grab the stuff, another to hold the cap (in fact, the cap could be PART of that arm...)
Now, your system would handle the juice amounts after that juicer, but no Rube Goldberg machine needed for the actual juicing...
On Windows, it's actually enabled by default, IIRC. Click the left and right buttons together on any wheel mouse - you should get the same effect as clicking the wheel.
Unicomp makes nice big clicky keyboards (read: Model Ms - the real deal, too, not some flimsy knockoff - IBM spun their keyboard division (along with their printer division) off as Lexmark, who sold it to Unicomp) with the TrackPoint(tm).
FWIW, IBM and Nokia ARE Opera business partners, and Nokia is one of the biggest purchasers of Opera (heck, they even got a CUSTOM VERSION!) Yes, Nokia funds Mozilla, also, for MiniMo.
Oh, and Adobe and Macromedia (same company now, though) were both business partners (Dreamweaver and GoLive used Presto, their rendering engine). Now, Adobe uses Presto in CS2.
Steve Ballmer made a much easier to accomplish statement (he'd publicly eat a floppy disk if IBM got a 32-bit OS/2 out before the end of '91), and IBM got OS/2 2.0 Limited Availability out in 1991-11. He didn't eat the disk (some speculated that it was because it was technically a beta version, but still, IBM released it as a full version, so he should have eaten the disk).
You're either using 8.00 BETA 1 for Mac, or 7.54u2. Try 8.00 Final on Virtual PC, or find a real PC. A Windows version WILL be better than a Linux version - no tweaking to get it going (I've had horrible luck with Opera for Linux picking Really Bad Fonts(tm) by default).
Steve Ballmer, a Microsoft vice president who has been likened to George S. Patton but who sometimes more resembles Charles Emerson Winchester with rabies, announced that if OS/2 2.0 shipped before the end of 1991, he would "eat a floppy disk." Obligingly, IBM did in fact offer OS/2 2.0 for sale before the end of that year, sort of. It was OS/2 2.0 LA, the last letters standing for "limited availability." It was beta code, really, the idea being that it would give big customers a chance to take an early look at the new 32-bit product and help determine where it did not meet expectations, though Ballmer's boast did not go unnoticed and there are still people at IBM who view him as a welsher. If he ate a floppy disk, he did not publicize it. And at the end of March 1992, GA -- General Availability -- OS/2 2.0 was released.
Granted, that was Ballmer, not Gates, but eating a floppy disk is MUCH easier than swimming the fscking ATLANTIC!
- Costs too much (you would think a comodity item like a browser, which is normally free, would be cheap)
That's only if you don't use the ads.
- Crashes all the time (you know, that "where it go?" kind of crap)
Are you SURE you're not talking about Firefox? Opera's crashes are more along the lines of freezes, and those have all but gone away since the 7.6 previews.
- Doesn't seem to intergrate with GNOME or KDE. On my twinview machine it seems to randomly pick which monitor to open up on. Completely ignoring the window manager. Annoying in the extreme.
Don't ask me on this, but I'd be surprised if it DIDN'T at least partially integrate with KDE, seeing as it uses Qt on Linux...
- Doesn't look like Windows, KDE, or GNOME. WTF?! It has its own look on all platforms. Blech.
Tools>Appearance>Windows Native>OK. That uses Windows standard windowing on Win32. As for KDE and GNOME, I'm not sure. I think it RESEMBLES the Redmond (KDE) widget set (IIRC - it's been a while since I've had my old Linux box going), but doesn't respect KDE's choice... It DOES look a lot like Windows Native on a Windows running in Classic mode.
YYYY-MM-DD YYYY-WWW (year, week notation) YYYY-DDD (year, day notation)

Oh, and 2005-04-25 24:00:00.00 (valid, just not used that much) and 2005-04-26 00:00:00.00 are actually the same time, but in different days. No more "contest ends at 11:59 PM" stuff - it ends at 24:00.
I can explain the first (nasty Qt linking issues - happened back in the 7.x days with the one they recommended for SuSE), but not the second.
FWIW, try downloading "Other/Static RPM". It's static Qt, so it'll fix any Qt issues. As for other issues, well, I have no idea.

Or, if you can figure out how to, you can downgrade from ROM version 1.5 to 1.0, and no signing required, as far as I can tell.
