Bingo. Opera's not competing against MS (has Opera even released a Pocket PC version? And nobody uses IE on Windows Smartphones, they use Opera.) They're competing against OpenWave (which they blow away on features, if not speed - then again, I'm comparing the native version of OpenWave for my phone, versus Opera Mini, which is a J2ME applet) and NetFront (which they beat in rendering quality and speed.)
Remote Desktop is Microsoft's VNC competitor. It hooks more deeply into the OS, that's the only reason why it's better. Heck, Ultr@VNC hooks nearly as deep into the OS, so it's almost as good, and it's FOSS...
Very interestingly, Microsoft decided that OS/2 1.1 and 1.2 (yes, they did the GUI in that) should have the GUI and kernel as one. However, IBM didn't like that, and released 1.3, which was more stable, and had them separate.
This is *NOT* a new idea at all, even on the OS/2-WinNT kernel. (yes, WinNT is derived from OS/2.)
except leetdan was referring to a turbocharger which is run off of exhaust gases not a supercharger that's run off of a belt so the turbocharger barely if at all increases gasoline use.
The 90, 180(?), and 300 are all Dragonball-based Palm OS 3.x (IIRC) and 4.x devices.
The 600 and 650 are both ARM-based (same CPU architecture - less OCing options doesn't necessarily mean a different architecture) Palm OS 5.x devices. IIRC, the main differences are the screen, and the 650's Bluetooth, and Flash memory instead of SDRAM for program storage.
Opera's goal is to be the jack of all trades. It tries (and mostly succeeds) in being reliable (it's more reliable than Firefox or IE, anyway), standards compliant, and lightweight (much lighter than Firefox or IE). It also tries to be a complete Internet suite, comparable to the old Mozilla suite. However, these things can be turned off, so that it's just a fast, lightweight web browser.
Oh, and yes, you CAN turn mouse gestures completely off. That's one of the first things I do.
I almost wonder whether this is Sony's attempt to go "Hah!" at the RIAA, by making DRM that sucks so badly that the populace actually knows what DRM is, and doesn't want it.
However, that's pretty unlikely, seeing as Sony's one of the Big Five that screws over the public ANYWAY...
Of course, I'm not familiar with the way malware authors inject their payload into a.PIF (do they just rename a.EXE to a.PIF?), but what would happen when a corrupt.PIF would get converted into a.LNK?
Nope. Still September. They pay us a little money, and then they're back being part of September.
The bad part about having a station that has a great morning show, yet plays pop music, is you hear said pop music. I wonder if Green Day is really singing about Usenet. "Wake me up when September ends" - but September WON'T end. So, it's saying to never wake him up.

Ding!
Or, better yet, an optimizing preprocessor, like the one that Opera Mini uses.
Hmm... So, on the free-to-the-Opera-Community version, you scroll down one click to Wikipedia when you to the search...
And the best part was, the font smoothing could be enabled with frickin' REGEDIT! $50 for a frickin' REGISTRY KEY.
Plus! just enabled it. It didn't actually have the font smoothing engine.
First, who really cares?
Second, this is old news. I heard this on the radio a week or two ago.
Third, as someone else said, you wanna bet tons of chicks are going to see the movie just to get a look at this guy's wang?
Well, yes...
Anyway, the point is the same, either way you put it.

What radio station?
Many put the current song on their website.
You haven't seen anything for Opera simply because Opera doesn't support extensions...
That WOULD be a useful feature, but I don't blame ya guys for not doing it (security on extensions/BHOs/etc./etc. can be a royal pain).

IBM also had two ThinkPad models that did that, in the 755CDV and the 755CV (same as the CDV, but no optical drive).
I'm sure he was thinking something about transexuals flashing.
Anyway, TransFlash is a real type of flash card.
Take a look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TransFlash
Besides, there was a Slashdot article about TransFlash being renamed to microSD (that's microSecureDigital).
They do have surround sound to their advantage. IIRC, CDs can only do two channels, whereas SACD/DVD-A can do 5.1? 7.1?

Fortunately, birds, fish, etc. haven't yet implemented and learned how to use magnetic compasses, either.
Another way to put it: Opera's smaller than Firefox, yet has about as much features, give or take, as Seamonkey.
Posted using Opera 8.51, build 7712.
Works for me with Opera 8.51.7712/Win32.
For that matter, so does the photosparks thing.
Apparently she can ;)
I can resolve it, and I'm in the US.

That's AFDBs. He put on an honest-to-$DEITY tinfoil hat.
