it didn't do a upgrade from 7-9 for me, it just side-by-sided anyways. uninstalled. im tired of waiting for the next vulnerability by a company who doesn't appear to care (anymore?)

you read, and understand what that statement you C&P means, right?

Wow, look at all 96 of those memes....

how exactly did you want them to respond to a petition that by their own rules forces them to respond if given enough votes?

If you _re-read_ his post, he is only showing evidence, and claims that Nokia NOT OPERA is a MITM. use of the word "attack" obviously doesnt apply. But it is -extremely clear that Nokia is intercepting and repackaging https traffic. Opera is not, and their privacy policy clearly states that Opera passes HTTPS untouched and only boosts -normal HTTP traffic-

I may be left wondering why you have no concern that a secure https connection you expect to a website is infact, not to that website, but is decrypted -atleast!- once, before being reencrypted to the site you expected. If you are fine with that I wonder what kind of security professional YOU may claim to be.....

He doesn't show Opera doing a MITM for HTTPS traffic. Infact, from Operas Privacy Policy regarding their boost:

Privacy in Opera Turbo
When Opera Turbo is enabled, the service will compress network traffic, thereby increasing download speed and reducing data volume. The service requests normal Web content through an Opera Software proxy server. Opera Turbo will exclude Web pages located on an intranet or by using secure connections (HTTPS). Opera collects IP addresses, usage patterns, and the point in time at which the service is used for the purpose debugging, maintenance, optimization of the service, or maintaining the customer relationship. Analysis of service usage is conducted by aggregating data, anonymizing individual identities.

this clearly states that HTTPS traffic is untouched....Compared to Nokia which is rewrapping your encrypted data. whats the point then?? I'm not connecting to https xyx, im connecting to nokia, who is then connecting to https xyx....that is so stupid. A single compromised certificate or proxy server would expose enormous amounts of data.

Nokias privacy policy makes not a mention of intercepting HTTPS traffic. Good job to Opera to following their privacy policy.

you're right, i ment to say the average being under 70, not 140. but i still often see tweets far closer to 140.

and how do you say it wont make a difference to the statistics? 140 characters, multiplied by a -potential- 2, maybe 3 bytes per character, that absolutely increases the size! they aren't magical letters.
when the data is available, feel free to run stats on tweet size, i'm sure it will be boring. the conspiracy theory was a joke. point being, who cares how big it is. im pissed that they spent ANY time or money on documenting this crap : )

^^ This. Another equally great project AOKP (http://aokp.co). I run this personally (4.2.1). Got my busybox and terminal :)

I agree. Its another attempt by the linux community to (read)unintentionally dilute any form of standardization or group effort, resulting in again, another fragmented culture unable to focus. Hows linux on desktop doing? Far better, but its been how long? and how many different versions of linux are there?

before i get flamed, Imagine how much could have got done if all those different developers focused on a few projects and made them awesome....(no, im definitely not talking about ubuntu, but thats another diluted conversation).

Is the average tweet under 140 characters? Many I've seen aren't. As for 500, it could easily reach that all totaled. being UTF encoded its possible for characters to be more than 1 byte each, meaning a message could easily be 4 times that size = 560 bytes. and still plus overhead, it certainly is possible.

plus, what kind of consipracy theory is it that the library of congress would want to willfully deceive us about the size of a twitter archive....... : )

They use UTF-8 - assuming only ASCII characters are used, it would take 140 bytes, but UTF also has characters that are more than 1 byte. So the size could 3 times larger depending on whats typed

was that link to reinforce the comment, or counter it? looks like it was an attempt at countering....if so re-read the wiki article

SPOILER: link gives no mention of end-users being sued, only companies that failed to adhere to the terms. clarification that companies are not end-users.

What confuses me:

Percentage of Americans with Accounts:
Twitter: 13%
Facebook: 70%

So there is FAR less diversity, and extremely poor quality data, why did they not archive public Facebook posts instead?

I see it as, facebook hosts people who write articles, stories, poems, songs, music, pictures, etc. THAT is the point of the Library of Congress: Documenting and Preserving Culture. Not trying to datamine the history behind "WAT R U DOIN FRI GRRL?",

american response: what the f*** is a furlong

:D

i agree, metric makes way more sense, but i gotta say, something feels stupid about describing my height in hundreds of centimeters, instead of just 6'4". its the gap between cm, and m that bothers me, cause i have yet to see anyone use something more appropriate like decimeter.

maybe ill just take it upon myself to use the correct prefix. I am 18.7 dm tall : )

i butchered that last post, sorry, not exactly what i meant to type. I meant that at that distance, even a moderate speed is still impressive, and given the ability to track objects at >= 110 mph shouldn't be an issue in destroying anything designed to fly through the sky (usually not 1/2 steel :D )
