    No disrespect to the great country of yours and culture.

    But I kept saying GUI Programming is *not* a talent for the East.

    It's almost like getting French art-noveau architects to build the Taj Mahal.

    The mindsets are different - the aesthetics are different - cultural perceptions are different.

    A western person can immediately tap into his own knowledge of current affairs and public consensus and deduce what is best for the client and customers. Without the 12 hour difference.

    Again a eastern person might understand concepts a hardened westerned brain can't : like the principles of non-duality or following a 13-beat cycle. Abstract concepts which made you produce great mathematicians and physicists.

    Programming these days requires too many westernized parameters: cushy ergonomics, fashion trends and icons.
    You won't get it - unless you want to sacrifice more and more of the essence to westernization.

  19. Re:No Adblock option on Opera Browser Beta Adds Voice, More · · Score: 1

    I believe its a commercial decision.
    Mozilla being free can do what the hell it likes - and almost not care about any higher corporate pressure.

    Opera has a lot of freedom, but it will eventually get stuck with such issues.

    Before the advent of Firefox, Opera was firm as the third choice after Netscape.

    Then Opera had many corporate advantages - company logo and skin customization being one of many.

    While pop-up blocking is somewhat understandable - after all pop-up adds are abused annoying - and can be used maliciously ... Adblock would not only be seen (by many) as going way too far but somewhat unfair - it would also displeased the same ccorporate entities Opera is aiming for.

    If adblocking was such a strongly-desired feature by Opera's user base - I am sure they would seriously look into.

    But even I (an Opera user) oppose to adblocking. It just feels wrong somewhat.

    Whatever the underlining issue - my guess is that a significant proportion of Opera users probably feels the same.

    A 3rd party commercial extention would be a more reasonable solution.

    The odd site that still doesn't work right
    Has nothing to do with Opera.
    But lazy mediocre webmasters that design only for IE.

    In fact Opera has done a lot recently to "accomodate" to such shit websites.

    Before if a site had nasty bugs (ie misplaced tags, unclosed tags, crap mistakes like ) - it wouldn't render period.

    I don't know about now but their standards what the closest to w3C as possible.

    Maybe it was a market decision that they should go the Microsoft way and allow for shitty brainless coding.

    Had they kept to their firm beliefs as before, you probably would see far less sites rendering well on Opera.

    Report to them which sites look bad.
    Or better report to me.

    I run an effective w3c vigilante group that enforces standards.
    Basically we track down the webmaster and with clubs and the likes beat the crap out of him - ya know .. set an example to the community.

    Hope this helps :)
