Going to sleep all hopped-up on Vicodin is interesting not because of the depth of dreams it gives me, rather, that it masks them as memories. I now have memories of activities which never took place, and people I never knew.

The best part of my day? Uninstalling the Opera web browser and replacing it with Safari Beta 3. Much better. Thanks for the tip, drax0r

Dude, I didn't want to be the one to tell you this, but the Opera web browser kinda sucks.

Oh, and until you try Firefox or Safari in much the same manner I tried Opera, I don't want to hear it. Your unqualified opinion means NOTHING to me, or anyone else. Thanks.

I have tried Firefox. I ran it concurrently with IE and Opera. Opera won out. It's a better product.

Furthermore, the first thing I plan to do when I get my Mac is install Opera. I don't give a rat's ass about Safari.

I'm sorry you're of the old school and things like tabbed browsing and caching confuse you.

That's a fantastic idea! And now that Apple is selling their Mac's on x86 architecture, you could blow away that pesky OSX and install Windows on it! What a smart guy you are!

No, I want a browswer that works. The only one that I've had any luck across platforms with without being clunky or a plugin whore is Opera.

Thank you for your patience concerning this issue.

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

They all work. Some are just more feature-rich than others, and some have less security holes.

"Clunky" is a matter of perspective.

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

touche!

I was impressed that Opera listed Sparc Linux as a supported platform.

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

Your point being?

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

I found something that impressed me about Opera. How could you miss that?

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

I thought you were mocking them for calling Solaris a Linux distro instead of considering it a Unix OS. Either way, I'm going to have to kick your ass when I come to Texas for comparing Opera to IE.

Opera has none of the security flaws of IE and yet it has more features. Yes, Mozilla/Firefox maybe open source and have some cool features, but I'm sorry, Opera is a lighter weight, more fault-tolerant, less faulty browser.

Period.

And when you get to Texas, I'll show you how it rendered the Anna Texas Forum exactly like IE did, all busted-assed, and then I'll show you how Firefox and Safari don't. When I'm done, you can take your light-weight, more fault-tolerant browser, and shove it straight up your ass.

blow me.

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

Aha! Another Opera user revealed! Tell us sir, why do you prefer Opera over Firefox?

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

How 'bout it's just a better, prettier browser.

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

That would be a lie.

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

Good Man! Good Man!

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

He was mocking you.

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

How do you know this? Did he call and tell you? Did he leave another comment here to that effect? HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW?

AIM session:

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Additionally, tell unixwolf he can blow me. :D

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

Tell him yourself, coward. Also, may I present to you, this:

Yes, drax0r weighing in...Who knew he had it in him?

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

not me, that's for sure! I thought that he wasn't good at this blogging thing. I think his strategy is to pop on at the right moment, say something profound and go hide in his hole again until next time.

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

Aye, that was probably it for the year. We won't hear from him until 2008 now. *sigh*

[jaceman.livejournal.com]

You kinda suck for thinking Opera sucks.

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, that wasn't my unqualified opinion.
