You should be proud that you have a guy with balls to make that statement.
I am not joking, from Istanbul, I'd be happy if there was a way to donate that institute (as foreigner)
I know it must be hard to make a statement as that while most of/. thinks Microsoft etc are only "evil geek companies" , no its not. You can expect ANYTHING. You know what I mean.
Wake up call? No:) Its like a Norwegian troll (real one) jumping on Bill Gates head for years and he is not waking up.
Speaking about Opera. The standard in Mobile:)
I feel sorry for the money he sunk in Mobile, no kidding. Oh if he was successful? I have a good example.
When Microsoft mobile was going fine and Symbian and Opera was taking first steps, we tried to login to Hotmail via Nokia phone (Sony uses MS Wap, Nokia uses OpenWave WAP)
'Sorry, you need to use Microsoft mobile browser (or similar) to login to hotmail". I AM NOT JOKING AT ALL!
It would be fine if I could take a photo of screen and keep it.
Well, I have a simple point for Mozilla fan(atics) out there.
I saw Opera 6.x running on Nokia 7650 which has real low ram and it was running damn fine. Point me a Mozilla that can do same job faster with excellent customer service, I make the guy delete it and use mozilla instead.
Nokia sees where future is and concentrated to that point. YOU aren't interested in their current products as I , as a Siemens C55 user which has java (with 320kb of ram!), gprs and midi etc not interested in new Siemens models too. In fact, I plan to use it until 3G stuff becomes standard.
What I try to mean is, 99% of population is not like us nor reads slashdot etc. For some, taking stupid lo res pictures and sending to their friends for a real stupid expensive rate (mms) is fun for them.
I really wonder if Nokia didn't go for Symbian and selected Win CE etc crap, what kind of a nightmare we mobile users would live.
So thank you Nokia:) and all Symbian supporters/coders
Opera is a tiny Norway company (still!) and their coders in that freezing country makes money, living money (e.g. buy bread for home) via licensed users.
Please, tell them to spare all their working hours for an OS (which I love) with 0.001 percent of end users or less.
Or you better tell Firefox coders to quit their real jobs and code Firefox exclusively, I really wonder the reply you will get.
Ahem, most of "Operas" in Symbians (we speak about 300*200 at MOST!) are licensed BUNDLES.
Some wants you to buy them, after 1 month or so, some doesn't.
For GODS SAKE, at least install opera 7.5 and post comments. Opera 7.5 for desktops is an Internet SUITE.
Opera for mobile (Symbian) is the innovator and leader in mobile market. I am speaking about a code, with real low ram can render entire page you are reading now and can manage to find "importmant" parts to display on a tiny screen. Oh, does it without flooding phones memory...
I understand/. people hates Opera since its a commercial program, closed source (allthough one of biggest supporters to QT) and sorry to say, displays 2 lines of damn Google ads but please, please SPEAK IF YOU KNOW WHAT IS THE SUBJECT.
Let me tell straight. Opera is the master of Mobile. Nothing less. If you don't believe, you better call Redmond and ask them.
Everyone around me using Nokia smart stuff bought it already...
Opera is going everywhere which mozilla cannot even dream of, check http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/
Oh "no flashy" ads there too, wondering when did Google ads became "flashy"
Mozilla was started to be exactly like where Opera is today (millions of phones, pdas, middleware, cars, digital tv platforms and AVERAGE end user desktops) but nerds like you my friend, spoiled it to be the ultimate geek masturbation tool.
Their potential customers doesn't read Slashdot too...

OK, I had many "flamebaited" posts defending real against windows media but this one isn't the case.
To purchase, you must Reside in the United States (OK, its MPAA guys, got it but still stupid) Have Windows 98 or newer (?!!? How hard is it to develop cross platform while RealMedia SDK IS crossplatform) Have a Broadband connection rate of at least 600 Kbps (What happens if a guy uses 300 kbit and wait 2x? isn't it his/her choice?)
Also, DivX AC3 capability, yes I know. The 5.1 surround thing can be done with ac3 divx'es but its HARD for average user to find files over p2p and install necessary stuff. The point I want to make is... If you compete with "pirates", give users a plus thing. Realone has 5.1 capability for 3 years now! Yes, including Mac version. Give them 5.1 stuff if they want.
Funny about those services not offered for macs... Let me speak straight. Mac users has more money than average user and they have tradition to PAY for stuff they use/watch. So you open a drive in theater and you don't allow Mercedes or BMW cars in. Simple as that, if it sounds spoiled its your choice to understand as that. If any Realnetworks people read this post (I am sure they do) check the percent of Mac users vs. Win32 users for paid services. You won't see traditional 5% figure I bet.
Reading is one thing, Analysing is another. So, when a badly coded dll scans your habits and show relevant ads, its called Spyware, Google does same thing and its not.
That fanaticism of Google kills me. OK, its cool, they run Linux , largest documented beowulf ever but there CAN be a thing they do bad.
Its your privacy imho. And shadowy workers (ex NSA so on)
"As someone who uses yahoo mail occasionally (mostly for throw away email addresses) and now uses gmail, I think google's email will be considered far better than yahoo's once it is publically available. I'm curious to know if you've had a chance to use gmail and still feel yahoo is better."
I am also curious to know what does this post do at yro.slashdot.org . Google offers 1 gb in sake of your PRIVACY. They are already sued. Let me tell simple way, Google servers will "read" all of your mail and analyze them. They have ex NSA employees too.
There, first hit from Google news search (heh heh, on purpose) http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/business/ technology/8821126.htm?1c
I didn't have anything against google, I just used fast.no but when damn browser authors started to make Google search default, even on Mac, it started to get on my nerves.
ATI on OSX has enormous problems. If you check couple of new games patches release notes, all includes ATI fix or something.
The last one was, Apple was not able to play DVD if ATI card installed. CC Generals runs 5 fps, ww2 online has purple trees (psychedelic) etc. All with ATI.
ATI's driver department has problems imho. Not just Linux.
They are one of nicest "companies" I met so far. I am only 5 month mac user, I mailed them about a program of theirs (theme thing) and how much time it will be supported on Jaguar (osx 10.2) and one of the coders gave me answer with all details.
Its nothing I am used in PC world (windows) or Linux.
Check Opera 7.5 for mac, it was excellent here... But I ended up buying Omniweb, which uses safari frameworks but not just a shell... Its from Omni you know:)
Slashdot Mirror
I think if you threaten BMI like companies with Indian techno (Punjapi DJs?) etc, they will give their cds free :)
oh, now COBOL spellchecking...
His point is clear. He says RIP in COBOL way...
Geez...
So, Mozilla core shall continue to be coded badly by amateurs and it will be fine if it will flood memory etc. Or hog the cpu.
Sorry, I don't buy this. When 3G becomes standard I will buy a compatible phone (for me, siemens) and will buy Opera if its not free.

ps: Check my sig
There are still people on Slashdot comparing a SGI workstation to "top of the line" Dell homepc ;)

First! Dell is 3 ghz, its faster

Its about content filtering
Of course they must buy it

Of course. Another machine by Jay Miner and as usual the sound chip was really undocumented.
I remember I was almost shocked when I see a friend sampling sound with joystick port, only 10 or 20 lines of 6502 assembly.
Maybe that pushed him into sound and assembly?
I even remember the chips name, POKEY. One of the chips in computer history never got used in its all power.
