On the other hand this one is closing its registrations, and deleting users registered after some date X.
Same experience here, running this on my HTC Desire.
At least Opera is nice enough to provide older apks here:

I downgraded mine promptly. Future doesn't look good though.
I'm sorry, I did not mean to suggest otherwise. The illusion indeed is maintained in the vast majority of cases.
No, most people are not basically good, not really. It is an illusion of goodnes that they give off, due to their indifference, and their going with the flow. If the flow is good, the illusion is maintained, and all is well. But when push come to shove, they will show how little they really care.
Way to go with your sweeping generalisation.
Not like the article is any better.
Looks more like worthless Rails tips.
Making your site a frequently used one is not solving the password problem; it's sidestepping it.
And this is the crux of it right here. The author is confusing the two goals of making a point, and having that point heard. Surely there are better ways to market yourself than by spewing ad hominems, which just go to diminish your supposedly more important goal of actually making a solid point.
That would be quite a feat.
Kickass skillz, yeah. I just puked a little in my mouth.
Yeah, I've had just about enough of these projects self described as the most awesome thing since sliced bread. How about we act like adults.
still I dont't see why kiba should be down voted for not getting it, huh
of course, if you use vimperator you have ctrl-i for that
I have to say, this is garbage.
I want Sandy back. :)
No really, anything like it out there, or will I have to make my own?
You probably mean Envy Code R? And yes, it's a great font. I wouldn't use any other.
I figured school and I weren't a right fit some time in high school, so I
dropped out then. Never even heard of unschooling at the time, I just
considered myself an autodidact. That was now more than two years ago, and I
still haven't started "unschooling" myself.
It was a problem when my parents threw me out soon after my 18th birthday, for
dropping out of school. I had to get a miserable job, coding PHP for about the
same amount of money my friend got stacking boxes in a warehouse. That was
nothing unexpected, it just shows how much programmers are valued in my
country.
The job made me depressed, unable to do anything. Not learn, nothing.
Now I'm working with a friend on a startup company, poised to solve all our
problems, but I wouldn't say that's going so great either.
But I don't regret anything. School wasn't a good way of learning for me, and
I will continue my education on my own, as soon as this company gets of the
ground and I have some time.
Thank you, I couldn't have said it better myself.
The author seems to think it's either all tables, or no tables. From one extreme to another.
I prefer not to use tables for layout, but I will if I have to. :-)
> Of course, all this research does nothing to help explain dumb jocks.
Wasn't expecting to see that there :-)
So you're saying everyone has the potential to be great? That's just not true. Yes, most people never come near their full potential, but not everyone is born equal, and not everyone can do anything, if they just try hard enough.
On second read, maybe that's not what you're saying, and I missunderstood. Forgive me--I haven't slept in 40 hours. :-)
What's success? What does it mean in and of itself?
Certainly, they can be successful, but at what? Not likely anything great.
Haha, I only just noticed, that the answer could have some kind of bizzare double meaning.
I'd have to disagree with that. There is actually quite a high threshold, as should be obvious, from the percentage of people doing great things.
You may not notice it, if you live in your own little isolated world.
Yes, you can be very intelligent, and incompetent; but no, you cannot be competent, able to get stuff done, and not intelligent.
Small is life, tall is death, and fat is dungeon? About 10 minutes, but I did have to write it down
If you can be something better, then you're not what you think you are.
Are you just speaking hypothetically, or do you really think you are unable to be smart? Because if you do think that, chances are you're wrong.
> In short, what I am is an overpowering urge to be anything else.
Join the club.
You can't not be what you are. At least, not yet :-)
