Opera Community News27 Jan 2012 | 8:13 pmAt Opera we like to joke about how using Opera Mini is like getting about 90% off (the data of) websites. Sometimes it can be less, sometimes more. It's a great way to explain why to use it and generally what Opera Mini is all about. It can sometimes be difficult to illustrate, so today, we just said it. My Opera member Sam added a little more perspective that is going to help a lot of people really give Opera Mini a shot: 98% data savings. He drove his point home by adding context. Check out his comment where he explains *as a real user* that Opera is saving him money. Thanks for…

This Week on the Web
27 Jan 2012 | 3:29 amThe big news from the past week here at Opera HQ was the release of Opera 11.61. As you might imagine, this announcement prompted a frenzy of downloading, as users around the world rushed to claim the latest stability improvements and Speed Dial updates for their own. The activity on our servers reached such a peak that our head engineers had to throw the switch that brought the backup servers online from their secret location. Well, make that formerly secret location. (It was the buzzing from all that data compression that finally gave it away.) Meanwhile, out on the gadget side of things,… -

Asa Dotzler: End of Firefox Support for Windows 2000
27 Jan 2012 | 3:20 pmFor a number of years we've held off on updating our Windows toolchain to a newer version of Visual Studio, and in so doing preserved support for Windows 2000 and Windows XP RTM and SP1. Firefox developers and the 99.6% of our Windows users have paid a price for this support, though. Our developers have not been able to take advantage of new compiler features and have had to struggle to keep valuable optimizations from breaking -- including having had to back out and ultimately delay some important new features like SPDY. Our users have have suffered a slower Firefox than would be possible as… -

Especially the new "date" input type: <input type="date">Unfortunately, the "date picker" (the calendar popup that displays when selecting a date) is just a little too Euro-centric.

NTSB's Cell Phone Ban

The US National Transportation Safety Board, in a somewhat reaching opinion, have recommended the banning using personal electronic devices (any cell phone usage, etc.) while driving (other than those that support the task of driving, like GPS Nav).Now the NTSB doesn't get to issue reports on driver safety at will but only as a recommendation after an an accident investigation. The reason they were involved in the investigation of this particular Missouri accident was because it involved school buses. As their report… -
Identification for Humans
25 Nov 2011 | 12:54 pmOne thing that annoys me about my industry is the insistence in many circles to use Social Security Numbers as standard identification numbers. Sometimes it's the whole number, sometimes it's the first 7, others the last 6. In short, a very personal piece of data is splattered all over the place. (If you don't believe this is a bad thing then you should stick to the AOL Kids Only zone)Now, I know I won't be able to replace this de facto standard but in working on my project, I can do something better. Unfortunately, I'm not a mathematician, so I'm not qualified to… -

Problem playing downloaded game; Is OPFW anti-leak causing this?
25 Jan 2012 | 6:35 pmGood evening everyone, Earlier this evening I purchased and downloaded the Star Defender 3 & 4 game bundle from awem.com.

When I went to try and play the games, they loaded, and presented the user interface page to enter my name. However, I am unable to enter anything (the cursor just sits there and keeps blinking), and could only get back to my Desktop screen by… -

Firefox To Ditch C++ In Favor Of Rust
25 Jan 2012 | 11:48 amIf everything goes according to the plan, Rust, Mozilla’s experimental programming language that has been in development since 2006, could slowly replace C++, which is currently used by the open source organization. Just like Google’s Go programming language, Rust syntax is similar to that of C and C++ and destined to provide memory safety, greater security and good concurrency support. Although Mozilla still has a long way to go, if you are curious enough, feel free to download the alpha version of Rust 0.1 compiler, which has been just released. With Google, Mozilla and… -

Axel Hecht: What’s a glossary term?
27 Jan 2012 | 6:23 pmI’m hacking on some tool that indexes the localizable strings in our apps. One of the fall-outs could be a glossary tool, i.e., which terms in Firefox, Thunderbird, etc should localizers bother to get consistently translated. Which raises an interesting question, where do you draw the line? What’s a good metric to use to define a glossary? Are there glossary-based applications that don’t need a cut-off at all? Insights welcome.
