  1. Re:Felony - misdemeanor - makes more sense on Slashback: GPLv3, Firefly, iTunes · · Score: 4, Funny

    refresh, refresh, refresh! (there's a counter on each page. Pity it's such a small number...)

    Are they going to hunt me down now?

  2. So what? on Firefox 's Ping Attribute: Useful or Spyware? · · Score: 1

    Is there NoHTTP extension for Firefox? Tracking can be implemented even using obfuscated URLs and HTTP redirects. Server can share its logs with 3rd party as well, so ping attribute doesn't allow any more spying that is already possible...

  3. Re:Yey, go Ukraine! on Firefox Usage Climbing In Europe · · Score: 1

    On Ukraine Opera has more users than all Gecko browsers, and that's in Europe too.

  4. Opera 9p1 is universal binary on Firefox for Intel Macs Planned for March · · Score: 1

    They won't, but Opera has universal binary ready anyway.

  5. Re:How about support for OS9? on Firefox for Intel Macs Planned for March · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But there is no (recent/decent) Opera version for OS9. For classic I'd recommend iCab 3 beta - it's pretty usable and passes Acid2 test.

  6. It shouldn't be a monopoly on Should Apple make .Mac free? · · Score: 1

    Apple should let users choose their ".Mac" hosting provider. More choice, more competition, lower prices.

  7. Re:That make no sense at all. on Google Default Search For Opera Mobile · · Score: 1

    You haven't seen any of these browsers, have you?

    Pocket IE is technically a completely different thing than desktop MSIE and it barely displays any page, even those "optimized for IE".

    OTOH mobile Opera has same rendering engine as desktop Opera, which now handles IE-tagsoup very well. If you disable SSR you'll get more MSIE-like rendering on mobile Opera than Pocket IE.

  8. Re:I'm confused on Two Open Document Standards Better Than One? · · Score: 1

    and then if you want to make "simple image viewer" you have to support all these formats and their variants, implement lots of algorithms, link with bunch of libs... or have partial/broken implementation.

  9. I'm sold on on Opera to Put User's Face in Times Square · · Score: 1

    Fastest. "Back". Ever.

    I use Safari and Firefox sometimes and I just hate when page reloads/redraws when I go back.

  10. Not surprising on Nokia 770 Internet Tablet Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Opera has very good small/medium screen rendering mode. This should be useful on device with 800px wide screen and webpages designed for >1k pixels.

    Opera can work decently on slow hardware (full-blown engine works on most hi-end mobile phones).

    AFAIK KHTML and Minimo aren't ready to compete in these areas (yet).

  11. It has been done before on Mozilla Thunderbird Gets Firefox-style Tabs · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Mail client with tabs? Opera.

    Opera opens everything in tabs, including views of mail folders, e-mail composing windows, etc. They're all saved in session as well.

  12. Re:Am I missing the point... on Internet Immunization · · Score: 1

    I'd bundle few critical Windows DLLs with my virus. I'd love to see automatic immunization patch created for that!

  13. Re:Miranda on What Makes a Good IM Client? · · Score: 1

    I see it completly different.

    Miranda fails to properly divide functionality between plugins and doesn't help them cooperate.

    As a result most plugins are hacks and they duplicate lots of functionality. For example each protocol plugin has it's own multichat interface, because miranda can't use regular conversation plugin for this (miranda plugin = uncontrollable black box).

    There are some plugins dependent on other plugins. To get pop-ups working properly you need at least 3 compatible plugins (pop-up, event notifier, conversation plugin).

    Many plugins ignore Miranda and hack each other directly on Windows API level.

    If you have good support for formatted text and unicode in conversation plugin, it will be incompatible with chat history plugin if it doesn't re-implement these itself...

    Ok, it all gradually changes for better in latest miranda builds, but there is still a lot mess to clean up.

  14. Old news on Yahoo Email + RSS Integrates Blogs · · Score: 3, Informative

    That's nothing new for M2 users...

  15. Re:Firefox unfriendly to European languages on What's New With IE, Firefox, Opera · · Score: 1

    I would, but bug has already been submitted years ago.

  16. Re:Regardless of which..... on What's New With IE, Firefox, Opera · · Score: 1

    No, Amaya's standards support is worse than IE's and it crashes on all sites just because it sucks. Just take a look at Acid2 test in Amaya.

  17. In the other news... on Is SETI a Security Risk? · · Score: 1

    Canada bans SETI in preparation for Intergalactic War.

  18. Re:Yay on Free60 Project Aims for Linux on Xbox 360 · · Score: 5, Funny

    It just gives that fuzzy feeling that Microsoft has paid $126 for your Linux box.

  19. Re:Opera 9 preview 1 on Firefox 3D Canvas FPS Engine · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's because Opers's implementation of is at very early stage (JS in Opera is very fast). Since Opera helps to standari[zs]e <canvas> you can expect that they will aim for a pretty decent implementation.

  20. Re:Violating by Dropping the GPL? on Nessus 3.0 discussed · · Score: 1

    GPL only grants rights and doesn't take any. Because owner of the code has all rights to modify and redistribute it anyway, he can ignore GPL.

    They just have to throw away any code that has been contributed under GPL, because that code is not theirs.

  21. Re:Backgrounds of the PHP developers. on PHP 5.1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Ou yeah? Eat $this->!

  22. PDO on PHP 5.1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    PDO is the first API/extension in PHP that looks like it was designed before writing.

    That's big step away from MySQL and magic_quotes mess.

  23. Re:Opera affected too? on Zero-Day IE Exploit Takes Control of PCs · · Score: 5, Informative

    Not affected. I've tested <body onload="window();"> and nothing happens besides JS console logging "Statement on line 1: The Object does not implement [[Call]]".
