I figured that's what it was. I was shopping around for one of those early this year and it looked like they're just not very widespread, and the few models that are easy to get have some serious issues. I decided to get a raspber

Ones that present data in order, like chronologically, and don't auto-scroll, leaving manual control to the user, work okay. Like "related products" on some websites, where the most relevant ones are first, but you might find

I use this but it does have the disadvantage of being difficult to disable when you are getting issues because of blocked ads. I also use Fanboy's adblock list ( https://www.fanboy.co.nz/ ) in Opera which requires no b

Do you think America cares what some little treaty says? We effectively own the UN and can freely flout any agreements we've made through it. I doubt anyone would be even slightly surprised if America - either is military, a government

Just being cynical here, but books written by people from far away places have circulated for a lot longer than the internet has been around.

I've always wondered if I delete the email, does it count as "no longer stored"? I should, as a user, reasonably assume so, but I know it's kept longer than that, probably indefinitely.

I've been checking out the TOS a lot more often lately, be it before or after signing up. A surprising number of sites have converted to readable bulleted lists in a language mostly resembling English. Unfortunately, it's mostly s

I avoid associating my real identity with anything on the internet, even if it's a private account. I only do it where I have to, like for banking. I don't take many steps to be untraceable (just Ghostery and a variety of usernames), but my

they own so much bandwidth it's probably cheaper for them to just send uncompressed html than to waste time + power recompressing it when things change. Being so large, they're an exception to the general rule.

Opera didn't have much choice after their 2012 earnings were well below estimate and the market for there desktop browser, despite how awesome it is, is just too small. Their only strong point is mobile. I don't know why they haven't open-s

I am very happy with the way persona works, both as an end user, and how easy it is to integrate into applications. I am hoping it gets some good marketing done or whatever is needed to make more sites start using it.

I've been a lifelong Opera user and given the current situation (it's dying), I am considering Firefox the only viable alternative. I've never even liked having chrome on my computer, and in fact I would not be surprised if Google simply dr

Two things I will really miss in Opera if they ever disappear - true MDI where no windows open outside the browser (not on by default anymore, but easy to get set up), and mouse gestures built into the browser. Extension based mouse gesture

Do they have to educate their customers as to the meaning of terms like "SSL" and "encryption" as well? Otherwise many won't know what to make of it.

I've used it in a template renderer to render templates from files or strings. You can use eval('?>'.$string). There may be a better method, I never bothered looking after that worked.
