1. Is it possible to configure Opera so that tabs behave like in FireFox? The default behavior of Opera after closing a tab to always switch to previously open tab. That totally messes up my workflow when I work with sites like Bugzilla.
The tab behaviour can be configured.
2. Is it possible to tell Opera when restoring tabs during start-up to fetch them from net, not from cache?
Some years ago, I found Slackware as an elite lightweight hacker distro. But today Linux desktop has improved so much and Ubuntu just wraps everything together nicely, so I wouldn't bother. But it was great and Patrick seems like a cool guy.
This is as unimportant as those "unboxing" articles where they inspect throughly how some gadget is packed. It makes me feel more and more that computers have just gotten "good enough" and people can get most of stuff they need fairly cheap. There is currently no big things to improve, which leaves only this kind of trivial details to masturbate over.
I'm actively seeking larger dot pitch LCD monitors since they're easier on my eyes for longer periods of time
Yep, me too. It also makes it possible to move the monitor further which also should reduce eye stress. One option you could consider is a television - you can get even 32" at 1366x768, which equals to about.52mm pixels.
Sure, the LucasArts' oldies are pure gold, but not again! I have already gone even through the "nostalgia phase" with these years ago. Why must the same handful of games be replayed over and over? Some new stuff instead, please.
I've been also thinking that using swap decreases the system reliability a bit. What if a swapped bit gets corrupted on disk and then later returned to memory? No matter what premium ECC memory you had on the system, you essentially have corrupted RAM now.
No, it's not. It's a wonderfully feature-less chip, with everything possible off-loaded into the northbridge. Which is why the NB looks like the real CPU, when you look at the board.
Are you sure it isn't only about the NB not being as power-efficient yet? I wonder if there is anything more "off-loaded" than with any other CPU.
The problem with Atom, as you say, is all of the other hardware to make it work. Its current chipset is incredibly power hungry, but they're working on that (integrating more and doing even deeper clock gating).
The ratio can already be seen getting better. Older designs' 945GC used max 22W while the newer 945GSE tops at 6W.
Why should it be more? I presume removing iexplore.exe effectively prevents the browser from starting. Sure the IE core engine is still left there but that doesn't matter in this case.
Well, every time a new distro revision is released, the old one usually still receives updates and support for some years. By not doing a full upgrade to the new major version, you get the latest patches and yet the feature set remains the same.
Slashdot Mirror
Excluding some special cases, I presume you would still get the best real-life performance by just running one core all times at that 3.06GHz speed.
Yep. Pixels are getting smaller but GUIs do not scale larger that well yet.
You know, there's this thing called bookmarks...

I think Opera can only fetch them from the net.

Don't you think that came out with a little bad pitch?
And 945GSE even less - although there's still room to improve.
Exactly. And, there is already the term subnotebook for laptops of that size.
Hmm, didn't know about that way.
I always used "smartdrv /c".
I guess that's what we're heading towards.
...or the best programming hair style.

RAID is NOT backup
Mod parent up. That's just how it goes. If you want to emphasize that the result might equally be as false as true, "may or may not" has it's place.
Not necessarily. You get the best of the both worlds.
And a proper post should always have the subject line information in the body too...
I was just about to say that.

Of course it works also on Linux and Mac.

Just for fun?
