And successful, too! Okay, all trolls from now on post "This isnt a troll, I really think this must have happened" at the end of your messages, and your troll posts will be moderated +4!
As for the rest of you, the non-trolls, go kill ajuda. I shall bask here and do nothing, for I have accomplished many great things in the past and so my debt to the universe is paid.
And what the page expects is the issue here. I repeat: Opera 7 has been out of beta for less than two weeks. Microsoft has no obligation to rush out and support minor changes to formatting on Competing Products. Give them more than one week to react, and then complain. The issue here is simple: The article is just plain wrong. Microsoft made their CSS in such a way that it looked right on the current version of Opera at the time. In fact, they went out of their way to make sure that Opera was supported. Opera's response was to come out with a new version which changed the way it interpreted CSS code where elements overlap, then cried foul when MSN was suddenly unreadable. My Opera doesnt ignore the negative margin: It moves the text over so that the bullet acts like a paragraph indent.
Is it really expected that every time a change is made in someone else's product, support for it should be released within the week on every effected page? True that Microsoft is not known for its cross-compatability, but here I am on Opera 6.11 for Linux, and I get an Opera-specific CSS. It renders the page correctly, and if Opera 7 doesnt, it's Opera's fault for breaking compatability, not MS's for not responding to it instantaneously.
An excellent point, really. If the manufacturers who make your phone are getting paid to send targetted advertising, prices could drop significantly- you may have to pay only for service, or only for the device, or neither.
Therefor: Shut the fuck up. Opera 7 came out of beta LAST WEEK, you fucking assholes. Microsoft isnt going out of its way to support each new version of a competing product the moment it comes out. You know why it looks like Opera 7 has a "serious flaw" which makes some web pages completely unreadable? It's because It does have a serious flaw. Any time you break compatability with your older versions in such a way that whole blocks of formerly readable text now becomes completely invisible, That is a flaw. Don't cry foul to MS when your favorite browser suddenly does something which is completely fucking stupid.
What is the world coming to when companies which usually sell explosives to the government won't sell explosives to the guy who programmed Quake or anyone else who is competing for a PRIZE for that matter! Competing for a PRIZE! It RADIATES CREDIBILITY!
Much worse than this post are the posts which follow it. You know, the ones which say "This is the level of intellectual conversation which can be found on slashdot."
Maybe it's because no one wants to pay what you'd expect to pay for a full-fledged RPG when all you get is IRC and a set of meaningless stats that don't actually effect gameplay? They should be trying to get sales, not subscriptions. If it were like Battle.net, people would be stepping over eachother to get a copy. Pay for Chat? Not bloody likely. Remember Alpha World?
Isnt the whole point of soap operas the continuous storyline? Nobody would watch 2 episodes of a soap opera if not to find out what happens next. I get what you're saying about intellectual level, but for a complaint about lack of consistency/continuity, your argument sure isnt consistent.
He was a successful low-earning gardener who never tries to doo anything better. I'm a successful slacker who lives in my mom's basement. Hopefully I wont do too well at my job interview next week, or I wont even have that.
Don't listen to other people's, listen to "pubjames"'s. He's the only one who matters.
All the time I hear people saying "Don't worry about what other people say", and then going on to explain exactly what they think about the issue. Hell of a qualifying statement you got there: "I'm about to go on for a bit, but you should absolutely, positively, without question, ignore every word of it."
You thought he was a jerk, and with good reason: He was telling you his own view of what success is. Just because "Personal Happiness" has the word "Personal" in it, don't think that it isnt just somebody else's view of what success is.
So listen to my view of what success is, don't care about what some old guy tells you: Success is not personal happiness. Success and feeling "fulfilled" are entirely seperate things. Success is just what you do in order to have enough time to be fulfilled.
Ignoring the repetition and that 'The' is in quotations as if its a nickname, yeah, this guy totally sucks because his sig is obviously a direct statement of what he believes to be an absolute truth, just like all the other sigs.
I'm sure you'd like it if only positive opinions were ever posted. Then the world would be a lot better, wouldnt it? No? Posting only positive opinions makes you "full of shit"? Perhaps you are an idiot.
... I do wonder what the hell made you assume I was saying "I dont like these flashes over here which are completely unrelated to Homestar Runner" when I said "Homestar Runner has horrible voices, horrible(though not the worst) art, and those involved with the creation of Homstar Runner should be tortured" Have you seen so much crap on the internet that you dont know that Homestar Runner is horrible? I consider myself to have an extremely active Anti-Shit filter(That is, I can watch something horrible and pay attention only to its redeeming qualities, comming away with a feeling that it was great), but Homestar Runner SUCKS ASS.
Just what shitty flash animations with shitty voices need.. Encouragement. How's this for an idea: We, instead of praising them, Get together, use our slashdot powers (we're a community here), find out where everyone involved lives, and cause them great pain. Anyone? Come on!
The shuttle makes a series of turns comming in to slow down. What the hell do you mean "Wasnt designed to do"? do you think the shuttles move in straight lines all the time?
A troll is someone who posts stupid crap to lower the overall quality/intelligence level of the discussion, generally ruining everyone's fun and making people not even want to bother reading any more. Example: in response to someone accidentally typing "way to much" instead of "way too much", saying "Way to much! You much like a pro!"
Flame-bait's goal is to get other people to get angry and reply. To "incite an online riot", as you say. Example: going to a women's rights discussion group and saying "All Women who have abortions are murderers and those who die in clinic bombings DESERVE what they get"
There is of course a blurred line between the two. If someone is posting for no reason other than to be flamed, he is flamebait and a troll. Of course, if someone is posting something to provoke people, but only because he believes in what he is saying and is willing to back up what he says, moderators have no place giving it a "flamebait" rating- it is more likely that "offtopic" would be more suitable. Generally, if a post does nothing but lower the average intelligence of the discussion, but offers little room for a response, it is Troll. If the same, but seems to beg response, it is Flamebait- it wasnt that the person said "Abortion doctors should die", it was that they said it in a women's rights board which made it flamebait.
the moderation "Flamebait" should be used sparingly. There really are very few flamebait posts, and those which are flamebait are made by Trolls anyway- you would be safe moderating all such posts as "Troll"
And finally: Don't thank people in advance you fucking cocksucker.
Does no one understand the difference between "Flamebait" and "Troll"? They seem to understand the difference, because so far I've seen EVERY troll post modded "Flamebait" and EVERY flamebait modded "Troll"

And yet if it identifies as Opera 6, it also gets -30, and displays it just fine. I guess that means you're wrong.

You on the other hand, probably won't ever do the same. But that's got nothing to do wiith age, you just seem like an idiot.
