That's nonsense. Opera is based in Norway. I believe that the Mozilla Foundation spawned from the wreckage of Netscape, funded by AOL.
As far as I know it uses a similar tab system, that's all I know.
No, Opera has true MDI functionality. I imagine you understand what I mean there... you're a programmer, aren't ya? For the ignorant, it means windows-in-windows, as if you're in Word with multiple documents and go Window -> Arrange All, or Window -> Tile, Cascade, etc. Much, much more useful. Can do some superb things with vertical tiling and window-linking...

I really can't bear to use Firefox anymore. I like the mentality of open-source stuff, the freedom, etc., but, well, Firefox just isn't as amazingly comfortable to patter around the Web in, and it's hardly going to be a tightly-coded speedy little beasty when you have to get community-written plugins for any kind of useful feature (often copied from Opera [really]).

For the record, I do use Thunderbird. It's a nice program, but it's not Opera-level stuff, and all Mozilla appies feel slighty slow to me.

Opera has rather more clever features than Firefox, and has a proper MDI interface, instead of lazy 'tabs', which I find exceedingly useful.
I've been happy Opera-user since version 5.x.

Uh, MSpaint's jpg compression is actually quite good.
I don't think Paint's JPEG algorithm is a different one to any other, somehow, it's just set in stone to compress it at what others might call 40% quality, etc.

Agreed. Anyone using IE is a lazy masochistic imbecile. I can't bear to even use Firefox anymore, it's so un-user friendly, but most people just use Opera for ten seconds, then ditch it because they're confused. Take the time to get used to and configure it and you'll never ever want to use another browser.

It's to allow you to select brushes whose axes are, like, in a line directly away from the camera in the 3D ports. It's easiest just to hold the mouse button down. You know how you're always trying to select that thing that's really near the camera, but Hammer keeps selecting that other brush further away? Here's your answer.
