You mean like there is no option to never overwrite a file even though most people complained about that in Windows 95 (or even before)? MS seems to have an aversion to the word "never".
An untrained parent whose attention is not guaranteed will never be as safe as a trained lifeguard.
You are right. But neither of those two alone is enough. Both the parents and the lifeguard are responsible for watching the children. And the parents, not the lifeguard are to blame for drowned children. If they were not confident in their child's swimming skills they could have send it to courses or avoided going swimming completely. The lifeguard has neither of those choices.
Desktop Search will fail (or at least stay unimportant), the same way every meta data scheme out there has failed. People are just to lazy to generate meta data themselves for all their data and trusting other people's meta data fails due to spammers (see web page meta tags e.g.).
Did you try copying the keyboard config file from Unix to OS X? It resides in ~/.opera/keyboard but I believe you have to modify it first or copy it manually in the GUI for the file to appear. The default config doesn't have a config file there.
Bloated would be "cluttered user interface" or "slow startup times" or "high memory usage". As Opera has none of those but lots of useful Features you should really give it a try.
What you simply don't get is that with Linux most people write the software to use it themselves. Those people advocating Linux for Joe Sixpack are not the people writing the software. Those just write the software exactly the way they like it and that is good. If any change is necessary than it is the advocates who have to stop pretending Linux was written with the "normal" user in mind.
I have yet to hear from such bullshit as non-compete clauses or "everything you invent in your free time belongs to the company" in European work contracts. I believe those are inventions only possible in the insane american legal environment (at least until lobbying transforms europe into a second US).
And how many of those steps do you have to repeat when you change something in the config file? All of them. With grub there is only the "edit config file" step and not this often forgotten second step (call "lilo") that leads to an unbootable system. When the kernel filename stays the same you don't even need to edit the file (though I wouldn't recommend it for new versions, only for really small changes), just replace the kernel image and it works, with lilo you need that stupid call to "lilo" anyway.
Yeah, because reading something that is not a kernel image and executing it at boot time kills your whole harddrive and all your data...
Bootloaders of the past require an external bootdisk every other time you install a new kernel because you forgot to run the program that writes config file changes to the bootsector. Grub doesn't have this problem. You can even specify a different image not even in the config from the boot prompt.
I don't know about the US but lots of mobile phone providers here in germany have a plan where it is much cheaper to make and receive calls at home (through the tower closest to your home) than anywhere else and of course the marketing sells this as replacement for the landline.
I associate it more with HIV. So VIIV would be the vi Immunodeficiency Virus. I guess the vi users will have to use emacs too if Intel manages to make this a success.

You mean wasting ressources on eye candy?

When you finished /.ing opera.com or still need reasons why to use Opera you might want to have a look at the following sites:
Opera Wiki
Opera Userjavascripts at userjs.org

They just released version 8. What makes you think they will release version 9 anytime soon (serious question, I would like to know)?

And here I thought shredding was about keeping the printed information inside the company.
Where can I find more information about this data-transmitting dark fiber you speak of?

Actually voice makes me wish for the device mentioned in the top1 quote on bash.org.
(for those to lazy to go there: I mean the device to stab people in the face over the internet)
You mean F12 => Enable sound in Webpages
Spam is worse than Viruses and Worms. You can't escape it by using another OS.

You know if you look at it in all uppercase like that it looks a lot like HIV.
