Yes they have double standards, they are only protecting you from "other" apps, My point is the verification seems already in place, why is this news just for Opera?

Seems FUD, I downloaded other Safari-based browsers and they give a warning since you can get to adult content via the browser. I'm over 17, but I just had to say "OK" in the message box to proceed, Seems pretty reasonable...

Not quite as exciting, but I had the same problem with a sizable desktop laser printer occasionally disabling the wired USB mouse/keyboard in the nearby computer. After months or replacing hardware, moving the computer to the other side of the monitor fixed the problem.

How To Play Poker With Your Rock Band Guitar 121
An anonymous reader writes 'Sean Lind over at PokerListings has written a really interesting piece on how to configure Rock Band (or Guitar Hero) instruments to use them as controllers for playing online poker. The instructions given in his how-to could really be used to configure the instruments for any game.' Or how about a genuine chording keyboard?
Norfolk Town's Schools First To Be Heated By Burning Cattle 83
A "trailblazing" Norfolk town has begun heating many of its buildings - including the schools - by burning oil made from melted-down cow and pig carcasses. The strategy is described as "equal or lower in carbon footprint than natural gas." Should schools have to offer vegetarian heating?

This reminds me of the first time my mom used a mouse. I told her to move the cursor up, and she lifted the mouse off the table.
She was surprisingly good at using the computer after that.
Christmas Tree Made From 70 SCSI Hard Drives 248
Trigger writes "At our work we were decomissioning six old HP/Compaq servers to clear up space for new servers and, naturally, each server had a fairly large raid array.
Instead of formatting every hard drive (would have taken weeks performing a DoD level wipe) and disposing them all together with the servers, I decided to disassemble the hard drives and recycle them into something neat.
With a lot (a lot) of patience, I made this shiny Xmas tree.
In total there are around 70 old SCSI hard drives, between 9gb and 18gb in size each. They were nice and chunky, oldschool style. There were quite a few different hard drive models, which is good because they each had different bits which I could use. The Xmas tree is made with parts from hard drives only except for one nut which I had to purchase for $0.39." It's good to see that this guy has plenty to do at work.
