It's really encouraging to see so many Opera users. I've been using opera since version 4 and still stick to it. One thing people didn't mention was that opera was also the first to include integrated search into the interface (eg google search) yet once again FF users claim this feature as one of the reasons to d/l FF
Another feature i'm absolutely surprised has no mention is navigation like internet tv. I use my laptop regularly and cant b bothered to bring an external mouse wen mobile. If you hold the shift button + direction keys you can navigate different links.
And this isn't the primitive IE hyperlink navigation (ie. keep pressing tab) but navigates according to screen layout.
Ok one more feature not mentioned. Say you want to go to a site you know but don't want to type the 'www' and '.com'
In opera just type the address. Eg. want to visit www.google.com
type
google
i don't see that ANYWHERE near IE or FF no matter the plugin. You can even customise it to complete in '.org' rather than '.com' etc.
There are MANY features in Opera that i'm surprised the public are not aware of. Go the feature rich, fast browser!
Employees are restricted to what software is installed on the servers.
If it were up to me i would you Opera, but it isn't. Slashdot != FF users
And besides, is there really any point to visit/. when you get back home using your fav browser just to rack up stats?
ya 486 days... i was lucky enough to own a DEC system, do kids these days know who they are?
I happened to be lucky to have uncles who were computer literate so i leeched off all the batch files and BASIC i could learn. That is aside from playing apogee shareware too;) Raptor was definitely a fav of mine.
Microworlds rocks haha. Yeh i would definitely find this a good start for children.
It allows them to control the GUI & have so much more freedom to create little snippets of code. rt 90 fd 10 rt 90 fd 100 etc.
With a small environment its good to learn and keeps children interested. after all kids these days need to see graphics instead of the BASIC output etc.

Hmmm... with all the strong support of Opera users from /. a few weeks ago about the launch of 8.0 there hasn't been a comment on Opera yet.
Well Opera doesn't seem to have this vunerability or IE's woes
