As with many problems that stump people for a long time, the fault is in the first step. You are squaring a quantity without taking care to consider the direction. Think of the diffrence between performing math on a scalar versus performaing math on a vector.
If you do this proof with a unit vector in the positive x direction (aka 1) and a unit vector in the negative x direction (aka -1) the math will NOT say that they are equal, no matter how you manipulate them.
The way I got hooked on Opera

I found that like many things, you don't appreciate Opera until you've actually experienced what it has to offer. It is one of those things that takes a paradigm shift.
30 Days to Becoming an Opera 7 Lover

After trying out all the features pointed out on this site, I was hooked for good. Anyone interested in Opera should read that. No, it doesn't have to take more than 1 day to go through the guide. Yes, everything there should still apply to Opera 8. New features added since then are listed in the changelog and discussed by fanboys all over the forums.
A few things I really like about Opera:
-To search for something on Google just type "g something" into the adress bar. You can enter in any operators you would type in Google. Several different sites are built-in and you can add your own.
-Text entered in forms is kept even after leaving the page and coming back to it (for times you get an error or need to get info from another page)
-Many great skins, all of which you can instantly change the color scheme for.
-Quick, sorted search any feild of any bookmark, email, note, or address book entry
-Press F4 for quick access to a panel that gives quick access to search, bookmarks, mail, contacts, notes, transfers, window/tab manager, history, IRC chat, and info about the page your visiting.
-Completely customizable toolbars and ability to create buttons.
-Don't load images or only load from cache.
-Disable sound, GIF animations, java, plugins, referrer logging, cookies, or proxies by pressing F12
-Auto-saving of sessions
-Mouse gestures, but not just the click-drag ones. To go forward simply hold down the left mouse button and tap the right one. Or hold the right and tap the left to go back. This is by far the greatest user interface invention EVER.
