Opera 10 Beta has built-in support for Opera Turbo. I think those are the proxy servers you're referring to. They speed up page loading by gzipping pages and downgrading the quality of images. One of my friends suggested it might just be th

Hmmmm... This fellow's suggestion may sound far-fetched, but if you look at the source code of the page by Opera: <!-- We start our little story with the invention of the modern day computer. Over the years, the computers gre

If I may speculate as well. I really hope they will open source their browser. I'm not sure how likely it is, but it would be really cool. I hadn't heard of this before, but now my interest is peaked.

Should've read the fine print ;-) Maximum of 1 million dollars. $1.15 per download (which is apparently 8 meals...), so you could've stopped at only 869,565.22 downloads ;-)

Except, of course, when the guy called and asked why he was banned.

by lucumo 17y ago
It's not that hard to display a message "Your account has been banned because ...". That's all he asked. As for squatters... AdSense for Domains is probably making Google some good money. I too wished they didn't, but they did.

Perhaps, but they could've warned him to remove it, or at least told him when he asked for it after the fact. Playing a guessing game about some decision with a company that nullified a debt to you by said decision is a bit classless.

It seems a bit like the author is rationalizing why he's still using Google. Although I personally despise Google for the way they mangle my search queries, I don't think there's a need to explain why you choose to use the search engine you

I just tried this. It has a lot of overlap with YSlow, but there are some interesting extra rules in it, most notably a rule that finds inefficient CSS selectors. That's kind of cool.

To be honest, I find the metacommentary a bit more interesting than the article. The metacommentary is what shapes HN as a community. In that sense, at least, it has some value. The article on the other hand: I've already read it a lot of t

> It tries to guess on what you want Unfortunately, Google is far worse in that respect. I've had occassions where my search query was automatically "corrected" to search for the exact opposite of what I want. Not too worrisome, if it

I personally like the way they integrated the "advanced" search box in the results page. It actually makes it easy to do an advanced search. Neither Yahoo nor Google has this. Combined with the impressive speed, I think it stands a chance
