Are you aware that unless you create an e-mail account, there is no hint in the UI that an e-mail client exsits? Are you also aware that the E-Mail specific code is less than 500 kilobytes, and is never loaded into memory if not used?
I honestly think it has something to do with the computers. On the 3 computers I've tried both on, Opera is significantly faster than FF. However, that doesn't mean it would be on your PC.
Which sort of pisses me off. If I wanted FF or IEs behaviour - I'd use them. What exactly is wrong about UI differentiation? If you are all going to be the same, why bother having more than one choice? I mean, geeze, wonder bread white bread and wegmans white bread and shurefine white bread - which should I choose.
I think (could be entirely wrong) that there is an equal number of casual gamers at who consoles are often pushed as the gaming solution (vs a gaming PC) who aren't at all interested in Online play - especially if it costs extra or worse is an ongoing monthly fee.
Let's just say I'm not about to pay $10+ a month for MMORPGs on my PC, I certainly don't want to pay $50+ a year to MS for the priviledge to pay some other company $10+ a month to do the same. And I'm certainly not going to pay $10+ a month so I can play "for free" on weekends under Silver.
I just think there is some over hype about how many people enjoy MMORPG style playing, and how many people want to pay to play(beyond the net connection) FPS games online when they can do so free with PS2(and presumably PS3) or on their PC.
Not anymore. New HDDs actually hide the low level access from software, so there is no easy way to know what patterns if any to write. According to Gutmann, ever since IDE drives hit the scene, just writing several times (5-7) is the best you can do.
Not to mention Opera at least is pushing ERA which resizes web pages to whatever width screen you have. I would expect that FF will eventually add this, and there is a small chance that in a decade or so, MS will as well.
Yet, for much of history and certainly the 20th century, overall wealth has been shown to be going up for (the west certainly, most of the world really) yet we have consistently had inflation...
Most everyone has been making a profit by your definitions - why isn't it deflation that has been big rather than inflation in the 20th century?
Well, it's a little different though - as a layman, it seems like AMD was dual core as a response to Hyperthreading - something that AFAIK is better than hyperthreading.
This instance is rather an orthagonal competition. Intel is betting that (so far anyway) flexibility is more important to customers than performance, whereas AMD is betting on the better performance they get from having the memory controller on die being the important thing for customers.

First, I use 1.3, and I've gotten updates rather frequently. Second, for some reason 1.4 doesn't work on my PC - the buttons labels do not show up.
What's really weird about this is that it sounds like SUN considers the SOFTWARE to be the Razors...
Which might be the case a la Google, but in that case, the blades as it were need to be cheap or somehow locked into the razor, which in SUNs case neither applies...
Well, it's not so much that it's a comparison as it's hard to get excited about something that is old news. I mean, if a car came out today and touted that they had as a new feature an automatic transmission - well, I'd say that underwhelmed might be the response.
I feel this way a lot, but the big deal about Tabs in IE 7 - I mean, Maxathon has been around forever basically giving IE tabs, and doing it *better* than IE7 is in the beta...
It's not really a new feature, or even an evolution - more like finally fixing a bug.
Can anyone tell me why Sparkle is supposed to be all that? I mean, everyone and their brother already has (and maybe hates) Flash, and SVG seems to be the next big thing for animation etc - it's already available as a plugin, it's supported natively to some extent in both FireFox and Opera and IIRC other browsers are adding the support.
I would say, 3GB per month? Check out Streamload, that affordiably goes up to 25GB per month (unlimited storage also) and non affordably up to 5 Terabytes a month I think.
Well, I have toi ask - is it free? Anyway - what happened to that MS bought foldershare thingy? And if you can shell up some bucks - what's wrong with the venerable Streamload? For that matter - what about megaupload and friends?
As I already have a Streamload account that I've been using for about 5 years now, this has little appeal to me.
Well, I'll agree to disagree about Ranma. I have no idea why, but I much prefer the dubbed version and voices. It's actually the only Anime where I feel that way, but hey.
I'm not so sure that Anime is better than what's coming out over here - just that many of us are bored with the genre's available, and happy to try out something *different*.
After awhile, anime get's boring also, and you're back to hunting for the gems that hit your tastes just like with American fare.
I have the problem that I like to read quite a bit, especially online forums. That can take up much of my free time. Then I've got the 5 or so TV shows I like to watch each week. Then the novels I want to read. Then there are the movies I want to watch eventually. Plus magazines and newspapers. Then Anime.
I end up with a huge backlog. I'm going to have to stop reading online forums for a few days again to catch up.
Depending on OS, and intestinal fortitude, you could always get/use proxomitron with proper filters (JD5000 derivitaves have click to play flash, and don't load the flash till clicked) or AdMuncher are both good choices for windows, and I believe similar features can be had in privoxy on Linux.
I think he might mean the Opera menu fonts - which for whatever reason lock to the windows settings. So you have to change them in windows, and hence globally. From a ideal design standpoint, I'm not sure if programs should pull from the window manager settings for their menus and chrome or not.
As I understand it, Opera started doing what FireFox currently does, and FF gets what, $30 million a year from Google? Opera want's some, and I can't see why I would expect them to not make *some* money the same way. Unless you think that Mozilla is lying also about the money FF makes them with Google?

What OS are you on? Have you tried OperaAdFilter or AdMuncher?
The javascript console doesn't do it? Also, have you seen this: http://nontroppo.org/wiki/WebDevToolbar?show_comme nts=1 ?

Well, this is opposite in Opera. Perhaps he only tried that? Even then, not a good excuse, as right under open in new page is open in new window.

What about UserCSS? Doesn't FF support that? I know you can do this with Opera's implementation, and I was under the impression FF was similar.

Yeah, but IE doesn't. According to wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_protocol
it was removed in 2002. Konquerer only supports it via a plugin. I really don't know if Opera supports it.

Oh, I don't know. Ranma 1/2 had a pretty good dub, as did Cowboy Bebop and Trigun was bareable.
