uh yeah, but it is good to at least make sure it compiles before you send it off for review.

I'm waiting for the cliffnotes or the movie. I don't have time to read 5000 pages.

-10C is nothing, it often gets -10F there.

Why would the database be GPU based? It could easily use both CPU for all the normal stuff and GPU where CPU just doesn't cut it.

Select * from orders order by amount For huge sorting queries gpu destroys cpu.

Current film and television frame rates are extremely slow compared to what humans can perceive. Just try watching the hobbit in 48 fps compared to standard 24 fps. The motion blur is reduced so much some people don't like it. They feel sick because it is so much more clear. Other people don't like it because the it makes it easier to tell all the special effects are fake. In my opinion it is awesome and I want even higher frame rates, but special effects need to catch up.

The poller was referring to traditional cloud services, not streaming services where you don't own the content. That would be like counting every TV show and movie you watch on cable TV.
I can see how that is hard to understand because many people don't buy any media anymore, they stream it. I haven't bought any music or movies for years now.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL ROFLOLOLOLMALOLOL then sadness sets in because people actually believe this

they make money off of the default bookmarks and also the web searches just like firefox does (you'll notice the default google search has opera in the query string).

They also forgot about just about every single feature that was in Opera 12. It is basically chromium with speed dial and very basic non-customizable and buggy mouse gestures.

I'm still on 12.15 64-bit. It still has the vast majority of the latest HTML5 and CSS features and I haven't found many sites that I can't use with it yet. The sites that do stupid checks to stop me from using it are easily bypassed using the built in scripting support (similar to the greasemonkey plugin for other browsers).
The only feature it is really lacking is GPU acceleration.

They should have waited until they implemented more features in the Blink version before they made it the new official version and stopped support for the Presto one. The Blink version is extremely lacking in features and the features are being added way too slowly. It doesn't even seem like they are going to add in all the features from the Presto version.
The reason people used Opera is because of all the features it had that other browsers didn't, the Presto version has nothing special and lacks almost every feature that made Opera great. The old Opera was completely customizable in every way without even needing to download plugins.

I wish they would just open source it so people could continue to improve upon it and keep it up to date with the latest HTML5 and CSS specs, but that is exactly the reason they will not open source it. It would be competing with their own new version.

When people watch me browse the web they think I am some sort of wizard because I magically browse the web and insanely fast using mouse gestures, fully customizable main address bar searching, and all sorts of other features people don't even know exist. I guess I'll just have to hope they make the new Opera good or those features become good enough in Firefox or Chrome.

My work laptop uses encryption and was upgraded from an HDD to an SSD about a year ago. The performance upgrade was definitely worth it, and everyone else that got the upgrade agrees. I'm not sure which type of encryption it uses, but it is the kind where you have to type in the password before it boots or lets you do anything.

I also upgraded from an HDD to a non-encrypted SSD in one of my home computers and I would say the performance increase was about the same.

My point kind of whooshed over your head. I never said common conception is fact based. I said he is going against the common conception so the burden of proof is on him.
All the things you're talking about aren't even related...

What you said is against the common conception. You'll need to provide some facts if you want to convince anyone. Otherwise you're just going to be considered a troll.
Telling someone to google it does not count. You need specific primary source examples. You should read up on logical fallacies, or perhaps just think a little bit about how what you're saying could be wrong. Because it is really easy to see you are wrong.

Doesn't your phone have a camera flash that can be used as a flashlight and works just as well? I think this has been standard for the past 5 years, and most phones have a flashlight app that comes on the phone.
