    Just 3? What about shift-delete -> shift-insert?

  2. Re:URL Autocomplete on Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    I also miss the Ctrl-Enter shortcut from other browsers.

    In regards to Gmail, I've found that setting Opera to clear the cache upon exit greatly decreases the amount of times it hands at the "loading..." page. I believe it has something to do with how Opera caches the scripts on gmail.com, and this workaround has made it almost never happen anymore.

    There's no time to RTFA when you're in a race for the first post! You know this.

  4. Re:price/performance on Dell Finally Goes for AMD · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Short-term success? AMD's been a publicly traded company for over 30 years. Intel may be a giant, but AMD's not going anywhere.

  5. Re:Link to patent publication on Apple Files Patent for "Tamper-Resistant Code" · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's not a good analogy. If flame-resistant blankets were like tamper-resistant code, once fire managed to burn the blanket it would then post all over the internet describing how it succeeded, resulting in increasingly efficient burning of said blankets.

    Bad moderator, bad.

  8. Safety/Spyware Issue on Why Do You Block Ads? · · Score: 1

    I set up adblocking on a number of my computer illiterate friend's machines. Too many ads pretend to look like genuine windows dialog boxes, tricking them into clicking and ultimately purchasing some kind of pseudo spyware "cleaner". It's totally irresponsible of the advertisers and I thought I remember reading that they were deemed illegal. However, they are still very much common.

    Nevermind RTFA, did you even read the summary?

    When the spammers can afford to pay $7m to Microsoft, I don't think they need to worry about being hired by anyone.

  12. Re:The article did mention it on ZyXel P-2000W VoIP WLAN Phone Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Most public access points want a userid/password to get on their network. There no way to enter that info from the phone itself. Maybe this next gen phone has a way. The article didn't mention.

    Article: "I followed the instructions and asked the phone to find nearby 802.11b or 802.11g wireless networks. After a few tries it found my home access point. I typed in my network's security code - the phone re-booted and was ready to make clear sounding phone calls. "

    Sure, then Sony will be slapped with lawsuits after hundreds walk into oncoming traffic while watching a movie.

    The congressmen passing these bills barely skim the 1000+ page documents. You expect a non-paid volunteer to skim through each one? Count me out.

  17. No news is good news on All Three Next-Gen Consoles at e3 2005 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Word is not out that, in all likelyhood, all three next generation consoles will be displayed in some form at this year's e3. Good to know there's no updates on the matter, thanks!

  18. Re:This looks really sweet, but..... on SBC Builds A TiVo Rival · · Score: 2, Insightful

    With so many users still forced into dial-up access, it makes you wonder where the priorities are. For these companies to already be talking about FTTH while my parents still chug along at 56k seems as if the two are living in different worlds. So many peripherals are arriving to take advantage of services that are still largely unavailable to the common man. Lay down the framework first, then build upon that. The company that extends itself into getting more users off the narrowband will be reaping the spoils of a large and loyal piece of the marketshare.
