When were tabs added to Opera I wonder. I was using tabs as far back as '96 with some browser I found on Tucows. (tab browser or something like that)
Opera may or may not be a great browser depending on what you want out of it, but the whole "invented tabs" thing seems like a bit bold of a statement.
while I agree that complaining about Operas licensing scheme is stupid, the economics of the situation also mean that it is hard to justify $40 (or ads) for something that is availible elsewhere for free.
yeah, but you need the joints and stuff from the space sets if you want to make a good mech!

If these people really loved animals, they wouldn't be sterilizing the poor things. Most pet-owners are not animal-lovers, they're just selfish bastards who want to have companions that they can control.
oh yah, because it is truly love to let you pet breed out of control. Way too many of those animals end up on death row, please learn a little bit of responsibility if you ever wish to care for an animal.
It's only logical; the more people "pirate", the tighter the industries are going to try to clamp down. All at the expense of legitimate users who just want to watch/listen to what they paid for.
which will alienate more customers and cause more piracy which will mean less money, more DRM. Hopefully these people will go bankrupt from this stupid stupid cycle.
Fighting violence with violence doesn't work.
Yeah. Right. This is manifestly not true, and proven by history to be untrue: see: World War II, American Civil War for starters.So why shouldn't fighting spam with ugly tactics not work?
Those wars must have worked because there is no violence anymore right?
Wouldn't he also say, "So you are able to detect an object from some distance without being in physical contact or within aural distance of it? I don't believe it. How would the sense come to you? Would it travel through the air and into your brain where you sensed it? It doesn't seem plausible."
It may not seem plausible but unless he is stupid it is trivially verifiable. Hence why people don't believe in ESP, you don't have to understand it to know it doesn't work.
Please remind why America is not at war with China? My knowledge on this subject is limited, but my checklist (based on the precedent set by the "justifications" for the war on Iraq) suggests that they should be:
The same reasons as always money and power.
Money: They are a good place to make it right now.
Power: We would likely get our asses handed to us. If nothing else they could pull a wicked scorched earth technique.
The sooner you realize that none of the options you listed are the reasons wars are started the better.

In their study of "Global Warming" they found little or no data to support this claimed occurance and have reported so.
uhhh...ok dude, everybody agrees that the planet is warming up. There is empirical data from the last hundred years to back this up. The ONLY thing up for debate is the cause!
meh, there is a finite number of bits that you can fit through your pipe. If you increase upstream you will need to decrease downstream. And then the proles you are trying to protect will start calling up Comcast to complain that their internet takes a long time to load pages.
They offer the notion that it is unethical for companies such as GlaxoSmithKline, Roche and Pfizer to put their patents and profits above the suffering of those in Africa
The funny part is that that IS unethical. It is too bad drug companies aren't required to take the hyppocratic (sp?) oath.
A sturdy case in some color other than black or "Windows XP Space theme". Please no Dell black plastic"
wow, the fact that the color of the case is even in that list means he probably should go with a mac. Give me the specs first, if the thing is THAT ugly i will get a can of spray paint at the hardware store!
Here in King County, WA the damn scantrons machines are even made by Diebold! There is even some evidence of tampering from the primaries where 3 hours of the log is missing!

Oh, I get it! You think anything else can compare? Like Firefox? Sorry, Firefox doesn't cut it. It's a bigger download...
...with far less functionality...
err...that is factually incorrect. The new beta is 17 megs vs. firefox 1.0 at 5 megs.
Like what exactly?
The rest of your post is just statements of opinion so there is no use commenting.

That's the way a free-market works.
Of course, the entertainment market is probably the best example of a market that is NOT free.
We don't agree with copyright law, so we think we ought to be allowed to violate the law with impunity
I violate all laws I disagree with with impunity. As a moral human I feel it is my duty to follow my own conscience before some arbitrary rule.
As for the specifics of copyright law, that is a tricky one, but I will make my own decision.

There should be due process in letting out secrets of parties that have not been criminally convicted.
This is an example of that due process in action. The judge is being petitioned to unseal the documents and will decide whether or not to do so.
If writers are so FUCKED all the time, then why do they continue to freely choose to enter into these agreements?
The same reason people work at McDonald's.
Er. how about this: the FBI should worry about crimes that *shock* actually matter *shock*,like serial killers, for instance.
well, only if they cross state lines.... I would say cybercrime is definitely in the domain of the FBI since by its very nature it is nation spanning.
I'm just too lazy to type them, so I'll let you think for yourself.
Are you sure that is wise?

It is in the caption of the actual picture so you don't even need to RTFA if you dont want to.
