Re: Keeping an eye on Opera Reply #303 – 2014-02-27, 14:26:39 Wonder how do they make money with Gravatars. Sharing email adresses with advertisers or whomsoever?However, a nice way to track users
Itching an ear with Opera Reply #304 – 2014-02-27, 14:31:28 I'm not ready to start a thread on it -- I've got a "glitch" with my 11.63 "notsorussian edition". Downloading stream files from this site/page in Chrome doesn't make any difficulties: the files get runnable and their properties are fully adjustable. But, having tried "the same procedure" in Opera, I got files (the icons looking ok) whose properties are cut and unusable and which themselves seemed not running at all (I tried choosing other applications during the dowloading process, but that seems not to affect anything in question).NB. In Google, clicking opens a WMP in browser, then I CtrS it and save it. In Opera - it works as you could already get how it works. I didn't try "open with" or "open" instead of "save" though...

They won't find a speck of sympathy in this heart! Serves 'em right the crusty ole bastards, may they stew in their own swill!!!

But in this crazy world of ours, this is not an argument any more. For example, the founder of Gentoo distro has always used a Macbook to do "real" work, and has been employed at Microsoft while working on Gentoo, etc. No contribution to Apple though as far as I am aware.Anyway, even if Chropera does eventually have a Linux version, it will be the same bomb as on Win and Mac. Most so-called browsers out there these days are Chromium clones. One more adds nothing.

Especially on blogs.* I'd call it advertising.Quote from: ersi on 2014-03-04, 05:30:36His claim is that since there are Linux users among Opera workers - even the CEO is that - there's hope.

This included large parts of Wassenaar, where the KPN CEO resided.

Re: Keeping an eye on Opera Reply #313 – 2014-03-04, 09:11:07 Opera's gold sponsorship ceased to be the case at the turn of the year. Must have been older posts you were reading. The current topper of the list is something called www.eukhost.com. Opera ASA looks like ancient history already http://www.linuxmint.com/sponsors.php

Re: Keeping an eye on Opera Reply #317 – 2014-03-08, 15:38:07 Is this an error in Opera? In any case, it sounds like you should be looking at Java.
"Box" trouble Reply #318 – 2014-03-08, 15:42:40 Later, Box informed me that I was using an "old version of IE":lol:, and soon I would get more trouble...(Individual files appeared uploadable, though...)

When I know I bookmarked something (in this case "stashed"), the memory is much clearer.
Re: Keeping an eye on Opera Reply #323 – 2014-03-19, 05:06:27 I use FireFox, & I use both bookmarks, & speed dial. I have only about 150 bookmarks, whereas I have over 900+ speed dials listed under 35 definitive tabs.I have a custom button that loads a snapshot of my entire speed dial in a tab as a html page, & offers me a entry box to type in a keyword, instantaneously enabling me to find any speed dial(s) that match the keyword. Bottom line, as long as FireFox & Speed Dial's creator don't give up on the Speed Dial Extension, I couldn't care if FireFox dropped bookmarks too too much.But hey, that's just my personal point of view.
Re: Keeping an eye on Opera Reply #324 – 2014-03-19, 08:44:09 I've got bookmarks going back over a decade. I'll bet that my folders are significantly more useful in locating barely remembered (or forgotten!) bookmarks than any other mechanism. For instance, imagine I'm searching for a rye bread sourdough recipe. I might never find it in the Stash if I have only a vague memory of it, because the one I've got is in German.
