So where's the torrent for Opera 8.02?

Next question, please.

I predict that networking sites will be swamped by Opera users

sites... swamped... by... Opera users ???

Does not compute.

I think he means they both gang up and hit a site at the same time ;)

Re:Fine, but...

[justforaday]

And if I click on an .exe, my browser should execute it. No wait, that's not a good thing...

Netadmin: We've been Operadotted!!!

Pointy haired: What's that mean?

Netadmin: Two Opera users hit our web server within the same hour.

Pointy haired: What's Opera? Is that a new virus?

Oprah?

I'd be more impressed if Oprah [oprah.com] offered support for BitTorrent.

speaking of absolutes

"Either you're with bloat in the browser world or you aren't. Which is it?"

That's sith talk there buddy, watch it.

Of course not

With Opera vs Firefox, each contender has many advantages; the argument could go on forever and in the end it's just a matter of taste, and of suitability for a particular role.

With vi vs emacs, it's a much more important issue that has thankfully already been settled by vi winning.

Either you're with bloat in the browser world or you aren't. Which is it?

So I take it then that you're opposed to Firefox's inclusion of FTP and Gopher [floodgap.com]?

Because I mean, come on, either you're with bloat in the browser world or you aren't. You don't need to access gopher or FTP via a webbrowser, there are command line tools for that. And how often do you really use gopher anyway?

Curse this mozilla featuritis! Just think, if they dropped support for Gopher, they could possibly remove an entire kilobyte of bloat!

Will no one think of the kilobytes??

I thought the main reason for BitTorrent was that you didn't need a fat pipe.

Episodes? Of what? Who gave you the permission to download them?

And better don't take too long with the answer. Your time is running out.

Re:The new "vi vs emacs"?

[epiphani]

Is "Opera vs FireFox" the new "vi vs emacs" ?

No, "Firefox vs Opera" is the new "vi vs emacs".

And, just like before, everyone knows firefox is better than opera.

Re:And open source is innovative?

[bayvult]

Nice logic. You've inspired me to reset my browser to load Photoshop for every GIF, PNG and JPG file on a web page.

Who needs the convenience of protocols built into the browser?
