on a regular basis, and IMHO this is basically the same difference. They want to charge for the unnatural "server" designation to unblock these ports.
It's more of the same, business telling the customer what they can do with the product they buy.
..as far as I'm concerned is neither one will use the freaking RAM cache properly. I have a 2000 mhtz computer, ultrafast memory, a gillion gig hard drive, but with all browsers but Opera it takes a full second to go back to the page I was just looking at. With Opera it's the blink of an eye.
I have no doubt that they are doing it "properly" somehow. Perhaps the page has code to tell the browser to check for updates. But guess what--I don't give a damn! I'll hit reload if I want to check for updates. I like a browser that has my interests first, not those of some webmaster or anyone else.
In short, Opera still feels MUCH MUCH FASTER than Firefox or IE, and I'll stick with it until that changes.

You gotta put a fan on that, or get the heavy duty ps. I know, I ran a commie bbs!
