You didn't research very well, it's not windows only . RPM is sort of worthless, and it's a monumental feat to get it to compile and build, but that is not some desktop software, that's the server source. If you read the directions, it specifically says it listens on port 80 by default.

Latest stable Opera 10 scores 100, no idea where you got 85.

I've been recently setting up video streaming for a client and found that dim dim is free for up to 20 people (using their closed source software) and unlimited if you feel like building it yourself with the opensource version. It's not bad either, I can't complain for the price :)

The nice part about blackberries is you're not bound to use the phone provider's firmware. You can go to like the crackberry forums and grab the neutral firmware they post there and simply delete the vendors.xml file and install with the setup. The subby should use the search engine he/she so loves so much a bit more :) and find alternatives. I never install the Verizon firmware.

The spelling of words such as "color" actually predates the British Colonization of North America. In fact it's not even of British Origin, the British borrowed it from the French ignoring the old way of spelling that came from latin, which the US now uses for such words.

From wikipedia:

Most words ending in an unstressed -our in the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Canada and Australia (e.g., colour, flavour, honour, neighbour, rumour, labour) end in -or in the United States (e.g., color, flavor, honor, neighbor, rumor, labor). Wherever the vowel is unreduced in pronunciation, this does not occur: contour, velour, paramour, troubadour, are spelled thus the same everywhere, with "contour" being an important technical term in mathematics and meteorology. Most words of this category derive from Latin non-agent nouns having nominative -or; the first such borrowings into English were from early Old French and the ending was -or or -ur.[23] After the Norman Conquest, the termination became -our in Anglo-French in an attempt to represent the Old French pronunciation of words ending in -or,[24] though color has been used occasionally in English since the fifteenth century.[25] The -our ending was not only retained in English borrowings from Anglo-French, but also applied to earlier French borrowings.[23] After the Renaissance, some such borrowings from Latin were taken up with their original -or termination; many words once ending in -our (for example, chancellour and governour) now end in -or everywhere. Many words of the -our/-or group do not have a Latin counterpart; for example, armo(u)r, behavio(u)r, harbo(u)r, neighbo(u)r; also arbo(u)r meaning "shelter", though senses "tree" and "tool" are always arbor, a false cognate of the other word. Some 16th and early 17th century British scholars indeed insisted that -or be used for words of Latin origin (e.g. color[25]) and -our for French loans; but in many cases the etymology was not completely clear, and therefore some scholars advocated -or only and others -our only.[26]

As long as web developers will keep supporting non-standards-compliant garbage like IE the users won't care.

I take it you dont work as a web developer for a living? If you did, you would know that nearly every client you have uses IE and will wonder why their site viewing and their customer's site viewing shows the site looking like a mess in their browser. Telling them they need to switch is generally not the option they want to hear.

It's a sad day when the Bill of Rights is modded "Troll".
What ever happened to "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."

Maybe it's when you UPPERCASE lettering to SHOW how important YOU are

Seriously though, you could have said the same thing and been 100% less douchey about it and it would have made me want to use my mod points instead of giving this reply and voiding any points I have for this topic.

I make my passwords something totally ridiculous that would probably be offensive to most people or certain groups I dont care for, haha. Something like macFanb0ysRghey&. Sure, I remember it, but if there's ever a chance you have to share that password with someone else, you either have to change it or see the person's face look like O.o

Doesn't account for "backdoor" exploits like curious girlfriends who might soon be ex's, pointy haired bosses or spiteful coworkers though :p

Opera stores multiple passwords for sites (like say if you have a few gmails). Unlike normally with most built in password managers, Opera allows you to set a master password that prompts you to enter it before it'll show your current passwords for a website. It works sort of like this:

Opera does not store its Master Password in the plaintext format. Moreover, Opera doesn't even store its hash. The developers have chosen a different route: the password along with the salt participates in the encryption of a portion of data and then, to check the validity of the password, it uses the decrypted data hash and the original salt value.

I am waiting for the ability to run it ala VirtualBox or Vmware Player/Workstation.

It's been done for ages:

It says 10.5.2, but it works with at least the last version of leopard from my knowledge.

Only thing locked down on the 8330 is the GPS outside of Blackberry Maps (free) and Verizon navigator (not free). File transfers are free though via mini usb. The newer verizon phones by blackberry seem to have no restrictions and GPS works totally (storm, storm v2, tour).

Then you haven't looked at your CPU usage while running Flash on a Mac.

I can say the same about flash running on a windows pc as well. YouTube can peg an entire core on a 4 core cpu. In general, flash is pretty bloated and a resource hog, it'll be nice when html5 is fully out and supported along with 3d acceleration in the web browser. Flash being pushed aside for open standards seems like nothing but a win overall.

I don't forsee Apple dominating the Unix based server market or to geeks who want to build their own systems (many of which use linux either some or all the time).
