  1. My ameritrade email is being spammed too on Who's Trading Your E-mail Addresses? · · Score: 1

    I'm glad you bring up the Ameritrade case. When I set up an Ameritrade account, I also gave them a unique email address (i.e. ameritrade@my-domain-name.com). I don't recall when the spamming to that email started, but it's been a for a while already.

  2. Event Streaming to Browsers on The Future of Rich Internet Applications · · Score: 1

    Another technology to look at is Server-Sent Events (SSE), which takes AJAX one step further.

    Opera 9 added support for SSE.

    With the traditional AJAX implementation, the browser continually polls the server, sending requests to the server, asking to get data back, making new HTTP requests for every single poll, putting more strain on the server than needed.

    In Opera 9 you can instead open a persistent connection to the server, sending data to the client when new information is available, eliminating the need for continuous polling.

    Read more about it on the official Opera blog by their Web Applications team.

  3. Opera also supports SVG on A Statistical Review of 1 Billion Web Pages · · Score: 4, Informative

    FYI, Opera also supports SVG. I'm surprised that Ian Hickson didn't have Opera also mentioned on that Google page, after all he worked at Opera until a few months ago.

  4. Merlin on Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner Answers Your Questions · · Score: 4, Informative

    There is a lot of new things coming in Merlin. FYI, "Merlin" is the code name for Opera 9, the next major browser release.

  5. Solution on Windows XP Flaw 'Extremely Serious' · · Score: 0

    Get another browser, such as Opera of Firefox.

  6. Picking one browser over another on Ask Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner · · Score: 4, Interesting

    In your mind, why have most of the people, who switched to alternative browsers, chosen Firefox over other ones such as Opera.

    Time to try out Opera's User JavaScript.

  8. Re:Not being trollish, but... on Opera 8 Released · · Score: 1
    The last time I tried Opera (version 5), I was seriously disappointed

    I think you may want to give another try. The is a substantial difference between 5 and 8.

  9. Re:The question every firefox user is asking on Opera 8 Released · · Score: 2

    Why shouldn't it? After all isn't slashdot an Opera friendly site!

  10. Next dupe.. on Opera Invents New P2P System · · Score: 1

    The next dupe will come in Opera's new SoundWave.

  11. Discovered... on Platform-Independent Real-Time Speech Technology · · Score: 1

    The new SoundWave technology was accidentally discovered during an R&D study to speech-enable Opera's e-mail client. One of Opera's desktop developers needed to find an alternative way to relay a message to his colleague at a time when the e-mail server was down, and was startled to notice that his verbal outcry was intercepted and understood immediately. (From the press release).

  12. Re:Cat got your tongue? (something important seems on Platform-Independent Real-Time Speech Technology · · Score: 1
    How can someone "discover" a new technology that they actual developed? It's not like discovering a new element or planet.

    Wow, Google finally relased a product/update that works on the Opera browser. It took a long time for Google: Suggest, Maps, etc. to work properly on Opera.

    Kudos to Google.
