I remember I would memorize a bunch of formulas and program them into little programs where I could type in some numbers and have it spit out the answer...

Then I would derive the work I was supposed to do to get that answer, using fuzzy math whenever I had an issue.

It always seemed to work.

Yep..!
You can also close all private tabs without effecting your non-private ones with [Ctrl] + [Shfit] + [Q].

You can even assign any of the actions related to private browsing to a mouse gesture or keyboard shortcut in Opera -> Settings -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Shortcuts.

Yeah... But it still ended up not being the place they wanted to go.

I feel sorry for the guy... I doubt there was any way he could have avoided getting axed, no matter how well he did.

I sense that Usenet will suddenly skyrocket here because of this little detail...

I stand corrected... Why is that question still in their knowledge base I wonder?

Because things change between them.

"sizeof int" will return "4" on 32-bit and "8" on 64-bit... When working with pointers (Variables that "point" to memory addresses), you need to make code that can handle these changes appropriately, and to change size-dependent operations so they handle multiple architectures.

There are only 32-bit versions of most browsers for Windows... Opera for example has 64-bit versions for Linux and FreeBSD, but not for Windows.

I've always been a bit puzzled as to why though.

2012

Year of the Linux rootkit.

Yeah, I wonder how long other features like Speed Dial, or Tab stacking will last before someone copies them.

I wish that people knew where all of these fancy features are coming from, that way Opera would have more funding to innovate. They certainly haven't slowed down since they created tabbed browsing eons ago...

I don't mean the ideal, but rather, the functionality that comes from it. Closed source can be functional as well...

I don't mind if the software I use is open source or not, provided I can do what I like with it.

Open is nice, but avoiding "closed but functional" is not really something I can see myself doing.

I can't say I am... I use Linux not because of the ideology behind GNU, but rather because I have so much more control over my system and I find myself much more productive in it.

I have no problems with Steam or Valve, so long I can both use the OS I rather and be able to play good games on it.

It's not like the FSF ideal is going to go away when Steam hits Linux, there will always be the option to ignore it if it doesn't suit you. All people do when they try to push back is limit the choice of other people who may not share the same opinion.

Dammit Emacs.

I don't mean the bang command, I mean the literal character... You can search special characters in DuckDuckGo, ones that are ignored by other search engines...

For ":wq" that would search up the literal string ":wq", which is the Vi command for Writing and quitting, on Bing though, it ignores the ":" and only searches up "wq", so you get results like the Wikipedia article for "Water Quality" and other acronyms that it could stand for.

Interesting, I wonder the correlation between Gentoo and OS X is? They are polar opposites.

I went
OS X -> Gentoo -> Arch -> Ubuntu -> Mint

Gentoo was just fun though since it was installed on an iBook (Old-style Macbook) with an INCREDIBLY FAST 500MHz PPC processor of raw power! (Because OS X broke)
