I hate to remind all the people who say the only way to go is OpenSource and the rest is rubbish, that there exists a whole bunch commercial soft for linux (and very expensive). If a company as opera decides to port over their apps to other OSses it can only be for our best. If i see an app that exists in Windows and I look to Linux to see the same app exists then it makes it easier to step over. If you don't like it, don't buy it. But leave us the choice to let us use it. Projects like Mozilla & Konq takes time, so be glad that there is an alternative.

Posted with Opera 3.61 beta/6 (BeOS)
'BE the difference that makes a difference' - Jewel
It works too good to be called a beta, but not good enough to call it final release. Some pages tend too crash Opera beta/6 as does changing the button layout twice in a row. Speed is OK, cache cood be speeded a little bit i guess. Every page visit by me for now looked good.
Pro: Its speedy, fairly stable and small. Pages render very well. It exists (or will) for Windows, BeOS, EPOC, Linux (text and X), MAC, OS/2 and others... Its european quality:)
Contra: It's just fairly stable, not just stable:) It's not free (but hey, these guys must make a living too)
I don't think it makes a lot of sense to compare the BeOS version to the upcoming Linux version as the BeOS version is based on 3.61 source, and the Linux version will be based on the new 4 source.
Just for the ones interrested: this is posted with Opera 3.61 beta/6 (BeOS)
Opera, keep up the good work

So If i make errors in my c++ code, should the compiler give me errors/warning or anticipate these errors, corrected by whatever is needed to compile it ? Guess not. It's good to stick to the standards, and not include errors as a part of the standard. Ofcourse it's easier for the end user, but it just ain't right.

Indeed, If if weren't for Microsoft, many people using PC's at home just for fun or even professional wouldn't have bought a PC. I don't say it's all the effort of MS (others played a big role in this) but they brought it out and commercialized it. They created an environment that anyone can use. Nowadays, many (even better) others are coexisting. (BeOS, Linux,...) SO now we have the choose, WELL choose and don't whine.

Everyone by now knows how easy it is (for some gurus among us - not for me though) to gather information from internet/phone/GSM/other communications that it wouldn't be use to send information NSA can act with. How many bytes of information thay get? How many of that is encoded? To be short it would take more time to monitor it than it is worth it. Its better not to hide, because than they don't seek you...;) 'BE the difference that makes the difference' - JEWEL
I don't think you can put Aldi Pc's on the same ground as SGI machines (or any other well build power machine). Ever opened an Aldi PC? Well I sell you the same stuff even cheaper. Indeed, SGI is priced endlessly high, but it isn't ment for everyday home/hobby use. It seems to me some firms are forgetting that a home pc does not equal a workstation/server client. (and not at least some small self-employed people who have the nerve to say the PC you sold them suxs because they played some copied games and got themselves some virusses)
