Playing around with Opera, the closest I can get is to drag an image to the tab bar to open it. For links, I have to select part of it with the text pointer first before dragging the selected portion to the tab bar. Not that close nor convenient I'd say...
How about Super Drag and Go? Drag a link and it'll open it in a new tab. Drag a picture and it'll open the picture in a new tab.
Hit-a-Hint: press the spacebar and all links on screen are labelled with a number. Press the corresponding number and let go of space bar to open the link. Keyboard web browsing made easy.
And is there anyway at all to control the closing order of tabs in Opera? I want tabs to open as the right-most tab but when I close the current tab, I want the focus to shift onto the tab on the right.
I've been using Opera on the side for a while now but like the OP, there's a few Firefox things really keeping me from using Opera full time. Sure, they might not seem much but they are things I really got used to and find it painful to live without.
Here's the thing -- the Hong Kong arm of yahoo lives in HONG KONG! They live in a communist country! How could anyone think that threatened with life in prison by a repressive government, a Chinese "Citizen" would possibly choose to not immediately capitulate to ANY request by the police? Just because an employee in China decided to NOT be Patrick Henry doesn't mean Yahoo's in bed with the Reds.
Here's the thing -- the Hong Kong arm of Yahoo operates out of HONG KONG! Hong Kong, operating on the one country, two systems principle, has its own legal system! For example, it actually follows the British common law system! It's not a communist country!
Snark aside, the point is that it's one thing to comply with court orders and it's another to become a police informant. The article makes no mention of a court order at all and from the tone of it, it sounds like Yahoo HK volunteered the information to China state officials to please the CCP.
Not to mention that Baidu tends to do better on Chinese queries. A lot of times when I'm trying to find lyrics to some song or some proverb, Google will fail but Baidu will give me results.
Coupled with the MP3 search, image search, discussion board serach, and page caching, it already offers what most people would use Google for. I know I don't bother with Google for Chinese queries now.
I also recommend the service pack appraoch for your Win2003 machines, can probably patch some potential security holes as well. But if for some reason you don't want to apply the service pack, you might want to look into Sygate Personal Firewall. No nag screens and works with Win2003 Server. Downside is that it's quite striped down.
eg. when there is an incoming/outgoing connection, you can choose to always allow the receiving/initiating application, always deny or allow only that one time. But that's more or less all you can do aside from logging.
Required? Hardly. In case you didn't see it, there's a sidebar on the left that lets you change the article display style. Font size adjustment, toggle of 'columns' format and even a link to the print version of the article with minimal formatting.
It even saves your settings so it gets applied to all other articles on the website.
While not that interesting in the first place, it doesn't have anything to do with my rights online. We're getting more and more irrelevant stories in YRO now, I think it's time to either post these under Politics or create a new category for them.
I gather that if a client was pumping out corrupt blocks, or if they were corrupted at some point during transmission, they'd simply get dropped and re-requested. No idea if there's anything to permanently ignore a client that's pumping out nothing but junk, though - but on a busy tracker, it would get drowned out by all the others. Anyone know?
Most clients will auto-snub (ban) peers that send you bad data. Plus, your client will usually do a hash check on the entire torrent at the end to double check before declaring it done. But yeah, the article seemed a bit bias to me too. Guess it wouldn't sound as good without the copyright infringing usage slant.
It's interesting to note that Lenovo will move its HQ from beijing to New York and its current president will be chair while IBM's PC division head will be the new CEO.
It's a bit on the pricey side as far as flash players go but it's really small (about the size of my two pinkies put together), lightweight, has 10+ hours playtime with 192Kb songs and it looks great. Plus they have a white version coming out and I hear they plan to offer 1G sizes soon.
I picked up a 512M model over the summer in HK for about $240USD and I've been really happy with it. Wearing around your neck, everyone either instantly recognises it as a mp3 player or think it's some sort of cool looking lighter.
If you're wondering what's new in 1.0, here's a link to the unofficial changed log (link grabbed from mozilla.org's FF release notes).
In case it gets slashdotted, new features:
New options for controlling where links from other applications open.
New experimental options for controlling where links in web pages open. To make these experimental options appear, set browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs to true in about:config.
Firefox is now available in 14 languages.
And improvements:
"Sort by name" in Bookmarks should sort siblings, not children.
Information bar (blocked popup, missing plugin, etc) should be closeable.
View Source should use Find Toolbar.
Find toolbar loses content when new tab clicked.
Disable sites reloading onresize. (Many sites reload onresize to work around bugs in Netscape 4. This caused problems in Firefox due to tabs, the Find bar, and information bars.)
While lack of dynamic font support is a drawback is't not that huge a problem. Because most people in Asian countries that want to read Asian websites tend to already have the fonts installed. A guy in Taiwan using his localised Windows will already have the fonts he needs to read tarditional Chinese over the web. It's only when he wants to read Japanese websites that he'll run into font issues.
CARLSON: Wait. I thought you were going to be funny. Come on. Be funny.
STEWART: No. No. I'm not going to be your monkey.

CARLSON: I do think you're more fun on your show. Just my opinion.
STEWART: You know what's interesting, though? You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show.
***
I mean, he got invited to the show and they were expecting him to take the setups from both hosts and make jokes but he refused to and told them straight what he thought. That takes guts. Especailly in the second quote, you can tell Carlson got smack in the face and he had nothing to respond.

You do realise that the parent is quoting a certain scene from a certain famous sci-fi movie right?

Does it out of the box
What version of Opera are you using? I'm using 8.5 on Windows and it doesn't let you drag links to open them.
How about Super Drag and Go? Drag a link and it'll open it in a new tab. Drag a picture and it'll open the picture in a new tab.
