Don't worry, I don't see you as apprehensive, and I don't have a problem with admitting that I'm wrong, if I'm wrong that is;)
I've just tried now, and it does lack some features.
For example, in Mozilla I see a 'quick contacts' thingy on the left, it searches automatically through my contact list, opera doesn't have it.
If someone sends you a MS Word file you'll be able to read it with mozilla and with opera you'll only have the download option.
I'm guessing there are more features missing but I'm not sure, since I rarely use gmail anyway, rarely browse with anything besides opera (well konqueror too but that's just for opening links quickly)
But it does seems to be better then it was at first, I know that there was a lot of functionality missing in the beginning (typing in the address bar didn't search like it does now) so you are right that it's working pretty well now.
Ok, I'll cite google then, from the url that was in my post (if you've read it correctly)
Does Gmail support my browser?
Gmail is accessible at http://mail.google.com/ wherever you have access to the Internet via a PC, Linux, or Macintosh (Mac) computer with one of the following fully supported browsers:
If you access Gmail with a browser different from those listed above, you'll be automatically directed to the http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answe r=15046">basic HTML view of Gmail. Basic HTML view works with the following browsers, as well as many others:
Yes it works, but that's because you get the basic html version of gmail, not the reqular gmail that other browsers would give you.
See the google help for more info.
Wouldn't be the first, google doesn't support opera at all, not with gmail, not with gcalendar, not with spreadsheets, not with personalized search, not with....etc.
(altough most of it works pretty well without the support)
You'd pay $2000 more to get a double quad core cpu, but still I do agree with you that the price of the Mac Pro isn't justified, the iMac's aren't that much worse for a _really_ big difference in price.
The Asian culture is just like that, everyone works like that so what would people think if you wouldn't do it?
However, I've seen some Asians that came here (Europe, The Netherlands) and a lot of the Chinese take over our society very well, perhaps a little too well since a lot of them are just plain lazy now;)
I have RTFA and I've read about the hotdogs, however humans have bones in there fingers and stuff that would be more similar to wood then a hotdog. So how safe is it?
IBM might be evil aswell, but they do make good stuff and do support the open source world. Some time ago I bought an IBM laptop and I was _really_ amazed about how it's put together, I've had a lot of laptops in my hands (HP, Dell, Toshiba, Acer, Asus) and none of them were build as solid. Also, all the 'multimedia' buttons are normal hardware buttons like they should be, I don't need special software to get them running (not even under linux or *bsd), they work naturally.
Compared to all other companies of that size, IBM is probably the one that's least evil.
The new release has some good points (the svg support for example) but also some bad points.
Opera 8 and lower (atleast from 6 and up) have M-Jpeg support and since the new jpeg engine in 9 that support has been removed (I used it a lot for monitor ip-cams)
With the horrible looking GTK GUI it does look like Office 97, if they don't change the theme then it will scare away a lot of people (yes, I 90% of the simpleminded clients I know _like_ the teletubby XP theme)
I'm using dual monitor, under linux, for a few years now....
And with a few modelines (with the nVidia drivers that is) I can just switch from one monitor to two monitors without any problems. I just type xrandr -s (there is also a graphical utility for this but I like the console)
But I do have to agree, configuring X _really_ sucks, I've heard that SuSE has an easy application to do it (also for dual monitors) but haven't tried it.

Ever tried VI?
Unfortunately most programs don't support the VI keyset
I have RTFA and I've read about the hotdogs, however humans have bones in there fingers and stuff that would be more similar to wood then a hotdog. So how safe is it?
How did they test it?
Are the researchers missing a few fingers now?
Another (imho pretty good) alternative, PyQT.
:)
Using the QT widgets it's cross platform (Linux, BSD, Windows, others?) and pretty fast

I use MPD with QMPDClient, there are probably some visualisations available aswell but personally I don't use them.
I also use Amarok, altough it does have visualisations build in, I can't call it really lightweight.

Skype kan be used as an IM client, MSN Messenger is an IM client..... That's the only I can think of.
They should change "Infinium" to "Ad infinitum" delay the release till infinity...
