It's like "practice" and "practise", which are both words. "Practice" is a noun (object, thing) and "practise" is a verb ('doing word').
No it wasn't ;).

So neatly put.
Some nice stuff there, good luck.

Good on you Kasperg.
Or e-mail me (I can't get on IRC through my router right now for some reason, and I don't have time to sort it).
Loffe, it's not adware, adware is invasive. Opera just shows a GIF at the top, or Google-style targetted ads if you select so.
mop, yeah, I love open-source an' all, but... Opera's plain better.

Aw, another fortnight.
Are they only releasing one? I think they should pick a few, that'd be good to get some more maps on every server.

Should be 'Hz', comrade.
Good good, I was thinking decidedly along AMD lines myself, if only because they're still slightly the underdogs :).
I'm well aware the graphics are practically non-existent there, but the main aim is to get my family outta my room all the time. I'll get a better one if I can wangle it for when my comrades come 'round so we can LAN, but getting m'own PC back properly is more important.

If they try and force me to use MSN7 I think I'll just ditch the bloody program. It's God-awful, MSN+'s author refuses to even hide the ads any more.
Heh, being as helpful as me whilst trying to convert people 
I'll have to remember you when I get time to have a proper look at summat.
I'll have to remember you when I get time to have a proper look at summat.Right-o, Kasperg, as you asked so nicely, here's Opera's pros:
Thank-you for your time :).
PS: That's probably my longest post ever. Yay.
- Not integrated with the kernel as IE has been since '98 in a cheap attempt to avoid legal issues (this helps significantly protect against malware, many of which use ActiveX, etc.);
- Uses HTTP pipelining, which I don't believe IE does, which increases speed (Firefox does also);
- True MDI (Multiple Document Interface), allowing tiling windows, cascading them, and tabs, all in a single container window - or multiple windows in multiple containers;
- Skinning (minimalism over IE, saves a great deal of screen space for the actual pages, or style for those with huge monitors and massive resolutions);
- Adjustable integrated 'searching' from the address bar (i.e. g twhl, by default, Googles for 'TWHL', but not limited to true search engines in this regard - I've added things like 'w' for Wikipedia;
- Mouse gestures - originally an Opera feature, emulated by many: right-click and drag in various directions to close windows, refresh pages, etc. Sounds strange but it grows on you quickly. Also, right-click and scroll brings up a list of child windows in this parent window (i.e. 'tabs');
- Decent popup control, which only blocks automatically-launched popups and not ones you actually 'want' (namely, those required by silly webdesigners);
- Excellent access to cookies, history, etc., for those who mysteriously sometimes want to clear their tracks;
- Sidebars featuring any webpages if so desired (such as our belov?d ShoutBOX;
- Fast-forward whilst viewing things like image galleries where the next button is no longer the reverse of the 'back', but actually moves forward in such things where you haven't looked before;
- Custom CSS to override poor webpages with useful content - switch everything to C=64 style, black-and-white, or your specified style;
- Pretty much every key on the keyboard being mapped to a shortcut (customisable, of course);
- A wand, to automatically login to sites if so desired;
- Aliases for favourites or even groups of favourites allowing you to open sites by typing whatever you've specified into the addy bar (I use 'comics' to open Ctrl-Alt-Del, Garfield and Dilbert, for instance);
Thank-you for your time :).

Very strange thing. I imagine it's a hoax. I should try making one myself someday :).
Doesn't look to healthy around there right now either.

I suggest that you look here instead.
Would appreciate comments on price/performance, general comments on mobile chips. Going to be getting a laptop very shortly. So far the two most likely on an approximate budget of the high five-hundreds (fairly likely to rise a bit) are:
(N.B.: budget won't be <ahem> including any software)
Any (worthwhile) comments appreciated, especially from hardware laddies.

Heh, it's usually fairly easy to sort. I'll try and get IRC workin' and have a chat.
Interesting, m0p.
raise, you don't need to actually have access to the e-mail account to login to your same-named Steam account, you can change the contact address registered to the username. I have.
Anthony: you could, but I seriously doubt that it'd let you be logged-in simultaneously.

Or similar things.
Heh, that sounds good.

Alex: You could always partition, or grab a new HD and put a distribution of Linux on it. Dual boot.I plan to do the former; m0p, can one use both IDE channels and add a SATA disk/array if the motherboard supports SATA?
I gotta get a book on the NIX command-line stuff before I'll switch.
I concur, in less mathematical terms.
Heeheehee, random pictures.
Dude, isn't T3 45Mbps?

He's not the only one. Opera will conquer your ass.
Steve: tried FF or, God help us, IE, to see if it continues? If it doesn't, what version of Opera? Maybe you've turned on some option somewhere by accident. A screenshot would help.

Yep, Rabid.
I had one too.

Ahahaaa, Jahzel or Loffe, I want a proper one.

I'd imagine it's your connection, ministeve. Are fonts larger than usual, with some hyperlinks going blue?

You don't even need to stick in the DVD any more, if you still are, since December the fourteenth of last year (I didn't notice for quite awhile).
i have HIS excalibur (Ice-Q) 9800Pro. bought it for 200$. it's a really good card imo.I've got a Sapphire 9800 Pro too, around ?165, and I agree, they're nice.
I don't remember deleting them. Maybe you should try in Opera :P.
On the NIX note, people may notice that more and more techie equipment are using wee little NIX distros, things like routers (mine included).
I'd be using NIX stuff exclusively if it weren't for:
1. My family all have to use Windows because most workplaces and teaching courses are oriented around it;
2. The fact that I don't know as much about NIX stuff as Windows yet and so don't feel comfortable administering a NIX system myself.
Even the compatibility stuff is becoming a moot point. Suites like OpenOffice can cheerfully use MS Office formats, and with Cedega and similar. Viva la revolucion.

are the biscuits brokenI sold them for drugs. You know what Hastin's is like.
yep, happens a lot to me on my new PC.coughopera
the only reason there is so much bad press about windows is because 90% of the user base are complete noobs who dont know how to look after a computer and so post for hours on the internet asking whats wrong!I beg to differ. Have you never seen a technology news post on security vulnerabilities, standard inconsistencies, Nazi monopolism?
I Use windows because it caters for so much more than linux and performs just as well technicallyNo it doesn't :P.
Then again, Linux (*NIXes) aren't error-free either. On the whole, though, at least they are free. Not that my copy of Windows XP Professional Corporate was. Nay, perish the thought.
Simple? You must be to use a browser like that.

You could also use trigger_relays to force it on or off, that might help. Look at our Entity Guide for details.
