So you don't download the Mini but the Mobile version

Opera is my Browser of choice and the best ever I feel, at least up to version 12.14, (desktop)
I also don't do anything of importance with my cell phone or tablet, but for a different reason. It's possible those could easily be lost or stolen.

Reading the replies some mentioned flash, Flash for Windows defaults to Webcam on, so thought I'd
check my Flash for Mint as I wasn't sure if I had set the settings. Mint is my start in Linux and used infrequently.

Things led to preferences, Network Proxy pref's showing that 127.0.0.1 as being ignored, hit the help button
and get a standard Mint manual of which "network proxy" isn't found.

No help, I see if it means what I think it means and put "127.0.0.1. slashdot.org" in my HOSTS file,
saved, rebooted then logged into slashdot.org

Crap the only thing being blocked are sites placed into my router. I've been wide open the entire time while thinking
some 19400+ sites I have blocked in my HOSTS file, haven't been.

No, I don't trust Mint anymore after today, I've no clue what other surprises are "built in".

The direct quote

The Black Stone; Although it has often been described as a meteorite, this hypothesis is now uncertain.

The Black Stone is the eastern cornerstone of the Kaaba, the ancient stone building toward which Muslims pray, in the center of the Grand Mosque in Mecca,
Saudi Arabia. It is revered by Muslims as an Islamic relic which, according to Muslim tradition, dates back to the time of Adam and Eve.

"We also added the ability to take pictures with the built-in camera right from the Lock screen without having to log in."

This is a XboxOne feature, the video and microphone will always be on so it can greet you when you walk into a room or able
to take voice commands. The privacy issues should be obvious for a company like Microsoft.

Because now the XboxOne will have a start menu and it will look out of place there.
it's just a make em feel good act as within Metro apps (off the main screen) the start button is gone.

Not something cool like a plated stegosaurs.

Taught myself Basic programing, typing in programs listed in the magazine 80 Micro http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8Micro
Then when the programs wouldn't run, going back and debugging them taught me a lot. I had also taught myself
Assembly language and was going strong in that direction.

When I bought my first Amiga, (500), first thing I did was start to write programs in Basic, but none
ever ran right; in fact I had to quit as it was making me mad enough to toss the Amiga 500 through a wall.

The Amiga put a screeching halt to my programing; while I speak of the Amiga God machine it really screwed me in that respect.
I haven't really programed since. I tried AREXX but never went far with it.

Apparently Amiga's Basic program never did work right and pulled from later upgrades.

Not that it won't let me log in, the page doesn't recognize my keyboard or any paste attempts. Firefox no problem.

I don't think it's Google Chrome, I think it's the page itself. https://login.live.com/
Microsoft screws up and Google gets blamed for it.

Haven't tried it yet but I fear the loss of my short-cuts, one built in is /. taking you to slashdot.org;
I have many more that I've used for ages.

Hopefully this upgrade will allow Opera to play well with all of the sites now, I'm just used to
getting "you need a modern browser to continue". I use Opera as my main browser but have
a secondary FireFox for the pages Oprea won't open or when I want to play Battlefield 3,
which is daily

Somewhere around version around 3.62 or so is when I started using Opera. That browser on a floppy
was one sweet deal, taking all my bookmarks with me as I visited was just handy.

I've been collecting my bookmarks since that time as well, nothing else imports them,
some have tried but but it doesn't work out for me. I'm sure this newest update will
let me keep them and hopefully creating a new bookmark folder won't take very many tries now;
actually creating one was mostly a matter of luck for me.

Opera has always had the latest and greatest features, I hope it isn't "improved" to where
I don't care for it as that would just suck.

The above sound rambling? Probably because I am afraid of what's become of Opera.

I heard it a different way, The Nissan CEO was asking it's development teams to come up with a small car to take on
the U.S. market and they needed it fast, one team member said we can have one ready in two weeks, the CEO said "Datsun!"

kinda partial to that version...

When Vista was released I tried Vista.com and it was a very established data business, totally unrelated
to Microsoft. MS walked all over this domain name, I thought ah these poor people. I checked on the site
from time to time, the business model changed over the years to one of working with computer hardware.

Never once did they have a redirect to Microsoft due those coming to the wrong site which impressed me
as them never letting MS change their operation - yet vista.com does redirects to vistaprint.com now.

This XboxOne is MS's fault for not checking first before committing, get over it MS you failed again.
