  1. Re:Customizable? on Opera 8 Released · · Score: 1

    Well, I don't really want to customize the ad, I just want the so called "address bar" to be above the "page bar".

  2. Re:Customizable? on Opera 8 Released · · Score: 1

    I could also settle for having the ads above the "navigation bar". The important thing is that I get Google text ads (long and narrow), navigation buttons and the tabs just above the page.

  3. Customizable? on Opera 8 Released · · Score: 1

    OK, then. If Opera is so customizable, could someone please tell me exactly what to do to get my Opera 8 to look like this (a mockup). I have tried a lot of things, but Opera doesn't seem to want to cooperate.

    The same to you, sir :-)

    That's because you are.

    Heh. That's like proving God exists or that he doesn't. I'm the only one here who knows that I only post when logged in. Since neither of us can prove anything, I suggest we rest this point.

    Yet, I'm the one you're still talking to.

    That's because you're the only one making false statements on matters which I have enough knowledge about to comment on.

    You haven't posted outside of this article.

    I have. Since I am not a paying slashdotter I cannot go back and find them. (I only post on articles which interest me. That's why my posts are a little scarce.)

    You submitted an article. Your professionalism was called into question.

    Yes it was. But I didn't take it very hard since I don't expect of myself to write as if I were a professional journalist (since I'm not). (Not sure if writing like a journalist is something to strive for though :-) )

    (My job's been a little boring.)

    It must be.

    What are you talking about? You obviously got it wrong somewhere way back along the line, and now you can't let go of that thought (that I post as anonymous coward).

    I've posted here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here here, here, here and here to people who definately aren't you.

    Just let it go willya.

    Hey, man. You're seriously confused. I only post when logged in, as naylor83. I never said anything about Hitler, and I didn't write the post you're responding to now either.

  15. Re:FUD on Firefox and Opera Fail the Acid2 Test · · Score: 1

    Well, this piece of news _WAS_ primarily negative about Firefox and Opera. (Not that Opera is open source, but some people seem to think so.) Since Firefox and Opera are claiming to follow the specs, this news item is mainly bashing those two browsers for not living up to their promises. The IE devs on the other hand have never made any claims that IE follows the current W3C specs. Hence the "obviously" and "lousy".

    No, it didn't.

    For the fourth (?) time - they drew it using a graphics app!

    So, are you saying the headline should have been "Opera, Firefox and IE Fail the Acid2 Test"?

    Robert Scoble has at one point said "I'm also telling you that the support for standards is changing at Microsoft. Stay tuned." with regard to IE. But then he is a Scoble, and does what is expected of a Scoble: Hypes MS.

    Me too. I would almost pay for it. Oh, well, that's maybe going a little far.

    "Ask anybody who has to hop to IE to visit certain sites."

    Well, if you get to a site where a CSS2 feature breaks in Opera or Firefox, switching to IE isn't going to do you a load of good :-)
  22. Re:FUD on Firefox and Opera Fail the Acid2 Test · · Score: 1

    Whatever you say sir. It's a fact that IE has "lousy" support of CSS 2. The heading was written the way it was cos no one in his right mind was expecting IE6 to get the Acid2 test right. Some, though, probably thought that Opera and Firefox would.

  23. Re:The Real Lessons on Firefox and Opera Fail the Acid2 Test · · Score: 1

    Now all we need is for the browser developers to take note of this, use it as a learning tool and a target to aim for and give the web design/development community a hell of a lot less stuff to debate about.

    With a bit of luck, that might just happen. *Dreams of being able to use PNGs and other nice stuff in website designs*

    They deliberately made errors which the browsers should cope with according to the specs.

    None. They used a graphics app. (No browser gets it right.)
