This would be the same as a DDOS attack in that you take down a persons phone line and email, instead of a website.

Every city has a gang problem. Most just will not admit it. You may not notice it, but go to a different part of town. You have it. Even an estimated 2% of the US military are gang members. (this is how they get many of their weapons)

Thats a pretty strong assumption. I for one, code on a laptop pretty often.

To be honest I cannot remember the last time I actually clicked that button, but regardless its a design mistake. What would work is putting a plus next to the closed tabs button (trashcan looking icon) along with the current plus at the bo

Both firefox and opera have had it for as long as I remember. Chrome is making news because they are experimenting with it that way by default.

150+ line of CSS means you are doing something very wrong. That could easily be done in a lot less.

I usually run around 50 (44 right now) and have them grouped with opera's tab grouping so it does not normally feel like a lot. Most of these come from sites like this one. I will go down the home page and open every article I want to read

"Sorry your browser is not supported at this time" Really Opera, a modern html5 compatible browser "is not supported"?

wow I am lucky to get 25Mbs down (avg ~15). much less 105, and I have the highest available residential plan. Is South Texas just that far behind the normal Internet speeds?

I have a few sites only getting about 1k visitors a month and #1 does reduce the spam a bit, but I still get 2-3 submissions a day, and I would not say these are targeted at all, just mass spam bots.

very true, but with the last.fm scrobbling its not to bad. I just go to last.fm and see what it recommends and then check it out on gs.

They are doing browser detection instead of feature detection. "ERROR: Possible problem with your *.gwt.xml module file. The compile time user.agent value (opera) does not match the runtime user.agent value (unknown). Expect more errors."

Couldn't they just declare war against evil (terrorism, gangs, crime, etc) or some other loop hole war to get around it.

"reports that they are used to buy illegal drugs anonymously." holy crap I can do the same thing with dollar bills! Shut down the monetary system also..

"The drugs can take you up in a helicopter to see what's there, but you can't stay. In the end, you have to climb the mountain yourself - the hard way." Thats a really good way to put it.

Safari sort of runs on windows. But that sort of is a stretch.

I always wondered the same. Especially when grooveshark (an amazing app by the way) essentially offers the same thing. Free streaming, huge library, etc. With the exception of the excellent free word of mouth advertising spotify has been ge

Opera has been able to move the tabs to the left side for a while. So combine that with this new feature and you have the basic functionality of that "tree style tab" addon except only 1 level deep but much more polished/usable.

uhh wait.. people actually use ruby at work? Perhaps 3% but calling it bread and butter is just plain untrue. Java/PHP/C# would be more fitting, those make up a huge percent of the jobs.

Grooveshark has deals with a few of the major record labels. They get paid everytime grooveshark plays a song. They have been sued a couple times in the past and now have deals with most of these labels. Grooveshark makes money through thei

There are a lot of things I really love about chrome, and it is very tempting to make the switch. I would bet in a few years it is as large as or larger then IE. Im not switching from firefox, but from Opera. I haven't been able to use Fire
