the way they each handle tabs, cookies, the Wand, granularity of popup blocking, proxy servers, the Transfers window (and how Opera/Firefox handle downloads in general), the user-customizable CSS and link style in Opera (does Firefox have something comparable? I wish he covered it so I would know!), Opera's Zoom, quick enabling-disabling of images, methods of caching
I doubt I'm alone in this, but I'll just speak for myself. I don't care how my browser handles cookies, wands, or proxies. I don't care about granularity of popup blocking, customizing CSS, disabling images. I really don't care about methods of caching or link styles. I guess if the way Firefox handled tabs or "transfers" bothered me at all, I'd care, but it doesn't. Zooming everything opera-style seems like a nice idea in theory, but then I remember that I only have trouble reading small text, not small pictures. I can only imagine that oversized pictures would annoy me.
There's probably a reason people don't cover all those features, and I'll bet it's the same reason that Firefox gives them short shrift: They're not terribly important to most people.
I installed a recent nightly iso of the hoary distribution (about a week ago), and my wireless card was detected and activated during setup, but not once since the system was installed. I'm new with linux and haven't figured out the fix yet.
I'm not sure what value lies in having separate detection routines between the setup and the system, but that experience has been a little frustrating.
If I work 80 hours in a week, and only get say 60 hours of good work done, that still puts me 20 hours ahead on Monday if I was working 40 hours a week.
This is not the correct comparison to make. If you work 80 hours in a week, and two others each work 40 hours in the same week, that puts you 20 hours behind those other two. If the 80-hour work weeks are the norm rather than the exception, they should hire more employees to work regular hours at regular productivity levels.
To the extent compatibility requires that a particular code sequence be included in the component device to permit its use, the merger and sc?s ?aire doctrines generally preclude the code sequence from obtaining copyright.
This seems like it would invalidate the copyright-based argument for including a copyrighted text block (such as a haiku) in emails as validation of a trusted source.
It's a correlation, but an equally valid interpretation is that American sexual/religious conservatism and certain psychological theories popular in the first half of the 20th century combined to temporarily universalize the notion that breast-feeding should be minimized or eliminated from the rearing process.
This conservatism can be identified directly with, or at least blamed for, the fetishization of the breast in modern mainstream America. Hence, mere correlation or even reverse causation.

You tossed a 700mhz celeron PC in the trash? Next time, maybe you could think about donating it to a charity. All you have to do is drop a linux OS on it and it will be highly valuable for any number of uses. Think business startup, underprivileged college student, struggling charity. You could walk away with a clean conscience even selling it for $100.
BTW, I use a 400mhz PII, and the only thing I keep adding to it is RAM. Because I keep it clean and know its capabilities, it's more functional than most of my friends' newer computers.

Every single day of work, I enter data into an Oracle database window. My company has standardized on ALL CAPS for its data entry, so everything in the database is in caps. It's very eighties; look for it at a corporation near you.
So yes, I still need the button, but I'd give my left pinky to be rid of it.
