But they *do* have classical ads. My in-laws won't stop talking about them. (Yes, I have one, but please. I don't want to talk about commercials.)

If you would RTFA, you'd know.

Sorry, typed that in a rush. Here's a response that actually makes sense (maybe).

In mobile, Opera is already a Big Thing. There is somewhere to go *other* than up. Would they really want their hypothetical future competition advertised alongside them? Firefox, various and sundry WebKit browsers, etc.? Opera isn't on there by default, no, but it's not exactly unheard of either.

I guess it's a tough choice - stay a decent size with little real competition or gamble that in an attempt to get big...

If you read the parent, it suggests that Opera might want to do that. Did you just pick a post at random and read it with no context?

The expected battery life is 20 minutes of standby or 5 minutes of talk. A replacement high-capacity battery adds 104g to the weight of the unit, 20mm to the depth, and extends standby time to 68 minutes and talk time to over 10 minutes.

I doubt they'd want to introduce browser ballots in a market that they are doing well in...

Wish I had mod points.

Yeah, well, the brand was doing pretty well at offing itself. It was just too big to fail, though.

I almost had a crash due to ABS too.

A sensor failed spectacularly. The car rolled into an intersection because there was no pressure being applied to the brakes. It sure kept straight, though!

Manual transmission and no ABS for me now, thankyouverymuch.

If you read what I wrote, you'd realize I said they were taking nothing, not receiving nothing.

Fucking hair-splitting trolls.

No shit. But it's not the pill that's doing anything, it's the implication that the people are being treated.

So it's the sugar that makes them feel better?

But the placebos have no effect. That's what they're there for - to compare someone taking medicine against someone taking nothing.

They're not "effective". Sometimes people actually recover from illness without a pill!

I don't really think that's a "privacy-free" culture you're describing. Also, I have no desire to exist in your "warranty-free" culture.

You know, you need to spend more time getting laid and less time trying to get a better PDF reader on your portable devices.
