    Where is Asus in brand of Elan Vital. I am using this case&power supply and said to be one of the best cases (obviously, it has no neons etc,just excellent engineering design).

    Check http://www.elanvital.com.tw/

    Anyone knowing it would understand why I am surprised its not on test.

    Don't even try to tell them something man, over that IDE-Scsi thing... They won't understand what SCSI is meant for, nor SCSI people will suggest poor people using $300 Adaptec SCSI cards running only generic apps.

    Every system has its place but, for reliability, I'd of course prefer SCSI bus.

    You wouldn't like to waste a DVD-R just because your Winmodem dials somewhere and it blocks CPU eh?

    Especially those webmasters should see it.

    See people? No special tweaking needed, it looks EXACTLY the same with SAME FEATURES on IE and Netscape 7 too... With same features.

    Believe or not,many webmasters doesn't figure it and they don't get the extra bonus they would get if they code same way.

    I know Opera lacks some DHTML but, will be fixed in 7.0 release.

    "Are Microsoft complacent, or is IE 7 going to incorporate some of these useful new features and maybe even innovate a little?"

    Call me mad but I bet they will somehow trick people to get a passport user.

    Just like in XP, not forced but tricked.

    So, support Opera too. They didn't do anything bad, just they are a small company (still!) and they earn their food money from coding. So, its not GPL. Easy as is.

  9. Re:Uh, nothing new there. on Opera Software Brings Its Browser to Mobile Phones · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Couple of programming students from Bhosphorus University (http://www.boun.edu.tr),here in Istanbul implemented WAP rendered HTML pages for Turkcell, nr1 and a giant GSM company of Turkey and Turkish populated countries (http://www.turkcell.com.tr). The stuff is working on server side. Gets HTML pages for you and re-renders (codes?) for WAP (wml)

    I tried it on WAP. I know it was stupid :) but I wanted to see how idea works.

    The error on a highly non compliant site I just typed was "Sorry, site isn't W3C compliant".

    Webmasters ignoring W3C, that stuff is coming to you. Sooner or later. Code standards compliant pages and you will save from lot of headache later.

    Also WAP is going great way. All standards compliant. E.g. nothing refuses you because you are a Ericsson customer other than Nokia. Mobile stuff is free from non standards... Oh wait! Hotmail. :) Its the only non wap offering big mail provider. If you have MS POCKET PC IE, you can logon!

    BTW, commercial company (especially resellers) webmasters, you will block Opera from accessing to your site? I can understand all the dotcom troubles now, ignore a $2000 phone customer wanting to buy something from you... Yea,right.

  10. Re:Mobile phones and the web. on Opera Software Brings Its Browser to Mobile Phones · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "This should prove interesting. I really hope this surges opera forward in the mobile web browsing sector. Does anyone have an idea if IE for Windows pocket pc is to be implemented in current mobile phones?"

    Nokia is the king. Nokia chose Opera for mobile. MS Pocket IE is a joke now.

    Symbian is the king of PDA, they chose Opera.

    Opera is the current king of non PocketPC (WinCE) PDA/Phone environment. BTW, no reason that Opera won't be implemented on Windows CE too... Its a totally respected company too.

    Geeks, you don't have to hate Opera just to be c00l (the poster I replied, its not directed to you).

  11. ICQ---ICQ Lite, Netscape---Netscape Lite? on Phoenix 0.3 Is Out · · Score: 1

    You got the idea if you run win32 and original ICQ somehow. They have cut all the features people call bloat and people trying it,just loves it. Its ICQ Lite. Now they also (from their www page,I got this impression) push it to new ICQ users.

    You want more advanced stuff, you can get full version.

    I am just an end user. I guess someone at AOL Browser division would think it right?

    Pure browser...

    I don't like Mozilla for certain reasons but... of course, I don't want probably passport-required-soon IE to take over fully.

    ps: I am a registered Opera user

    Erm can't you people stop comparing supercomputer mhz'es to DESKTOP (yes desktop) Mhz es? SGI is the system of pros. There are of course top of the line, cluster setup PC'es but it makes them beowulf cluster. Not ordinary PC to compare and send SGI to grave.
