Alternatively, you could host your own little dungeon for those naughty World of Warcrafters, perhaps even creating little honeypot worlds to capture certain 'elements' of virtual society?
You can also open a new tab in Opera by pressing shift while you right click on the highlighted text.
I agree Opera made some bad decisions early on with their marketing of the product. But, I wouldn't call the advert bar annoying - In fact I never used to notice it.
It seems the only people who complain about paying for something are slashdotters. That and wanting the source code so they can feel comfortable they aren't being spyed on.
I bought an Opera license and it cost me (drum roll please... ) £7.50, or thereabouts. Thats the cost of 3 pints at the pub. It's not exactly a bank breaker is it? And for the internet experience I get it's worth every penny.
Hope you didn't get excited as my mate. I emailed him the trailer this morning and he replied: "I saw the trailer before Spider man and I came a little bit." Lord knows what's happened to him now I've just sent him the exclusive trailer.
I read a book by Tony Buzan called 'Use Your Head' which explains that you can increase the speed and comprehension at which you read by taking advantage of the fact you are seeing text in your peripheral vision. Apparently with enough practice you can 'take in' several lines of text at once.
Rather than scanning each word in a sentence, which causes your eyes to make lots of tiny movements, you look at 2 or 3 points along each sentence and allow your peripheral vision to take in the words either side of the point you are looking at.
The way the example paragraph on the website is broken up by Live Ink is exactly how I read the original block of text using Tony Buzans technique.
I think a lot of people have similar stories, here's mine.
My parents and sister came to visit. I handed my dad (65 yrs old) the Wii remote, talked him through pointing and clicking then left him to it. With a little more coaching on the Mii creation and player selection he got a game of tennis up and running. My whole family played all the sports game for several hours and we had a really good laugh, with the upshot that my dad tried unsuccesfully to buy one.
The following week my dad emailed me and asked if he could borrow the Wii while I was away as we had a family gathering and he wanted to get all the relatives involved. I got back from holiday today. From an evening all playing together, my Uncle and cousin have now bought Wii's and it doesn't look like I'm getting mine back for a while!
My dad, uncle and cousin are not hardcore gamers but Nintendo have provided a way for people like them to become gamers, albeit on a casual level. Not only does this widen market share for Nintendo, it reinforces their name as a byword for console gaming and forces the other companies to encompass this market, which I think will push gaming forward.
I don't see why there can't be room for any kind of articles as you only come across what you search for - it's not like you are holding a 1 metre thick book where you have to wade through a million random articles to find what you want. Although initially sceptical of Wikipedia I do actually find it quite useful these days as a starting point for many a piece of research.
Funnily enough, the slashdot subculture section has become a victim and been removed. It's through that article on Wikipedia that I got a grip on the untold jokes/cliche's that abound here.
Unfortunately this wasn't a 'traditional' war, in fact it wasn't really a war in my opinion.
I can't comment on Rumsfelds battlefield acumen in other conflicts, but it saddens me to think that this man will step down and probably get another high profile job, write his memoirs etc while leaving the whole Iraq mess behind for someone else to clear up.
We are currently holding conker championships in our office ( the conker in your url reminded me!). I didn't realise that conkers had been banned from schools unless kids wore protective eye goggles!
This is similar to the goals of creating superconducting materials - can they get this to happen at room temperature rather than when supercooled? I guess only time and further research will tell.
I didn't think it was gospel, perhaps I should have done some research before posting.
I went to uni with an American friend and he told me that he'd heard there were plans afoot to try to make changes to make it more ad friendly for US audiences. This was just before the competition went to the US.
I totally agree that it is due to advertising. Wasn't there a bit of controversy around the time the US held the world cup in that they wanted to break the game up into quarters (something like that) in order to slot advertising in?
This is great news for Opera and i congratulate them on this move as it will give them more brand awareness for their desktop and mobile versions and hopefully an increasing usage across them all.
No matter whether you are an Opera fan or not, you cannot deny they have an extremely good browser which has well thought out functionality included 'out of the box'.
Using it on the DS will be a dream, what with mouse movements replaced by flicking the stylus and the small screen rendering technology using the available screen size to maximum effect.
I hate to say it but Firefox still has a long way to go before it matches Opera. You'd need 5 DS cartridges just to fit all the necessary extensions on for a start.
Will Firefox run on your linux toaster? Doubtful, but I bet Opera can.

I've submitted CmdrTaco for blending. Maybe he can stop it.
That's a huuuuuge ship!

Flypod!
I bought Blast Corps recently for my N64 because I love that game so much. It's a lot of fun.
It would make a good VC purchase for the Wii too.
Al Qaeda does mean 'the base' in one translation and we've not found it in Afghanistan.....

"Put me down Steve"
After staring at it for a few seconds I expected James Bond to appear and shoot at me.

If only the Brown Note was real...
One day Superman is flying along minding his own business when he sees Wonderwoman in her house, laid on her bed naked with her legs apart.
Superman stops and thinks "im faster than a speeding bullet, I could get in there, have some fun and be gone before she even knew what happened"
So he does. Quick as a flash he goes in through her bedroom window, has his wicked way and flys off chuckling to himself.
"Did you feel something then?" asked Wonderwoman
"No but my arse really hurts" replied the Invisible man.

How about, we hook up the Texas Border Webcam with the Hunting Webcam but shoot RFID chips instead.
That way we are having fun, and at the same time allowing people into the US legally!

The title doesn't suggest that the technology was born out of studying Geckos. It's a catchy title to engage you in reading the article.
