You run the software and imagine you will help save the world. But it won't help if no government officials are monitoring it, and they have their own systems already. What it does to the internet is flood the net with useless p2p data, and sparks a few communities or forums where is nothing to talk about. "Look, yesterday's peak vibration was at 66Hz!". Blogs full of one liners "Tsunami is coming tommorow morning!! Run!"... Those can't help, but will create panic and chaos.
What is worse, it creates a negative effect of increased fear. As if we were not being scared enough with superfluous information about disasters and crimes all over the world, terrorist threat and suspected nuclear developments in "unfriendly" countries. You run the software all the time, because you fear tsunamis. Effectively, you are expecting a tsunami anytime. But they happen what, a few times a year in different regions of the Earth? It's not only that false alarms can ruin your day, just the fact that you run the software will increase your paranoia degree. Despite the intended purpose to make you feel safe...
Got that error too in Opera Mini on mobile phone:(
But if you open gmail.com, log in, and then go to m.gmail.com, it works perfectly. Much faster and easier to use now, when you don't have to scroll some three pages down the folders and labels to read a message.
In Opera's site there are more useful tips for developers, see Authoring for Small-Screen Rendering (SSR) and linked pages. Not a lot, but much more than in this article which still assumes web developers don't know the benefits of XHTML, CSS and how to make the stylesheet external, and doesn't go much beyond hiding images and document order.
Ali Akcaagac is well known for long rants and flames, but not much for contributions. Although it must be noted that he can develop and has contributed to GNOME. However, because he is very unhappy that GNOME does not go in the way he wants, he has unsubscribed from all GNOME mailing lists and now publishes long rants about how everything is wrong, and announces a fork. The "mission statement" itself is offensive, as most of his posts on mailing lists. Talk about community.
Guess I'll have to find out if the applet will still compile and work fine in Gnome 2.
No, most of the applet code needs to be rewritten when porting applets to gnome2:
Applets are bonobo controls now, at least applet-widget was replaced by panel-applet with different API;
You need to use gconf to store configuration, which means you have to rewrite all configuration management;
GnomePixmap/GtkPixmap/GtkBitmap were replaced by GtkImage/GdkPixbuf, and in case of themeable applets like asclock, this also means a bit of rewrite.
Unlike in gnome 1.4, there is no built-in clock in menu panel, so you can put any clock you like there. I am sure they will be written, just not distributed with the main gnome-panel.
The current clock will not have themes, though it could have a bit more configurability, i.e. to change font or time format.

Hydrogen fuel cells are way less effective and emits *more* CO2 in total than the usual road cars. It's no way a zero-emission technology. http://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/the-hydrogen-hoax
Bioalcohol is much greener and usable today, and IRL series were racing on methanol for 40 years already.

Don't worry about the name, the uglier it is, the better - you don't want a project which is deemed to die from the start to use up a nice name.

Just ignore them, save your time and mood.
