Opera was never a threat to IE 4/5/6. Despite being a great browser/suite it gains very little market share. If open source hadn't stepped in the browser market, Opera wouldn't have changed anything.

Does this mean I can record my dreams with Scarlett Johansen and Natalie Portman and view them at a later date? Or sell them on ebay?

Are there alternatives to Java? Mandatory bounds checking, garbage collection and all that implies, and inability to break type safety combined with good execution speed are not easy to implement, especially in a multi-platform way.

I hear good things about Flash. They just released a new version so I'm certain it'll be around for a while.

I question that. Reputable porn sites usually want to help with filtering.

And they make up, what, 1 percent of porn sites?

I still have two Bondwell-14 portables. They could be museum pieces as well. Still, I'm really attached to them, I learned to program on them. :')

Do you know of any places that still sell 5.25" cp/m floppies/software?

[blockQUOTE]Invade Alaksa? No Sarah Palin will just shout across the water to her russian allies, which she can see from her home. No way the chinese would risk a war with Russia.[/blockquote] Why would they risk war? Russia and China are pretty good pals, and have been for a long time. I'm sure Russia would sooner help China invade Alaska than stop them.

Maybe a real name like this will work: Chnsz Medvypa I generated a password using Lastpass and just changed the capitalization. After all, maybe it's my family tradition to give their kids first names composed of all consonants.

It's nice to know Welsh people finally made it online as well :-)

This from the company who's officials are regularly quotes under demand of anonymity? Let the facebook staff be first who give up all their details online.

This russian guy made his own voxel engine as well, which I believe is hardware accelerated and also pretty impressive: http://www.atomontage.com/

you are right and Valve's ToS is draconian. It's new technology and no laws are in place for it yet, which I hope there will be soon. Until then I create a new account for each game that I buy, so I can easily sell or lend games to other people.

There is a Euzebox for Europeans with a SCART connector.

But is this really news for slashdot? It's hardly nerd news.

If we eventually use Bitcoin in everyday life, say, in the supermarket, how will we deal with prices in fractions of a Bitcoin? What terminology might we use for something priced at 0.00000005 Bitcoins?

IANABE but I would expect it to be called 50 nano bitcoins, or maybe 50 bitnanos.

I use the same password for all internet sites, slashdot, reddit, throwaway emails, etc. Another one for all my computers, at home and at work. A third one is for my bank account only.

Hey! Would you like to sign up to my site? http://dodgysite.com/ . It has tons of cool stuff. Hope to see you there soon!

Or maybe it's Facebook again
