You should know about arstechnica.com, great site.

I did not know it and I like it at first sight.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

I assume you also know about slashdot.org, but it's not half as nice. Many of the same stories, but it's more of a posting site, whereas arstechnica have writers.

Yes I know it and exactly because of that never really liked it. Seems kind of cluttered, unorganized.

I just ran into an article on that site about MSN Messenger, which reminds me: The first couple of versions, if not the first had a loop hole that allowed you to make international calls for free. I remember that at that point you could only make calls within the United States so I had a cousin of mine that lives in Oslo dial my number as if she was in the US and it worked.

I tried going back about a year ago to see if I could find an older version but every time you install an older version it says you have to upgrade and it won't give you access.

Does anyone know if there's a way around that?

Hey Rami, that reminds me. Could you some recommendation of geeky tech news sites? Both software and hardware, from PCs to TV, mobiles, everything tech related.

That goes to the rest of you to, share your techie bookmarks.

Oooh V. I am sorry but I mostly visit Swedish sites when it comes to tech news.

You can might as well subscribe to your Gmail through RSS, which is built into the browser.

EDIT: No. No need to press Refresh. It'll do it automatically for you. Besides, i just sent a test mail to myself, and Opera mail notified me earlier than Gmail Notifier! umpkin:

Ok,I'd gave it a shot and it works good. BUT.....why does it leave messages on the server?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Good question.

 

[BarkuZ-yes i am an ass]

Is there a good answer?

 

[JCK]

Ok,I'd gave it a shot and it works good. BUT.....why does it leave messages on the server?

Because it has probably that option as default, if you change it you would notice a different behaviour.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

OK. So I created a custom search for this forum, and tried testing it. I chose to search for the 'What Are You Doing Right Now?' thread, and this is what happened:

Asif, do you know how to create a custom search?

 

[icemaη]

Nope.

 

[Zé Tahir]

Well these are the gems I have in my feeds. Have a lot more, but these are the ones really worth reading. most of them are very popular, so I'm not sure it helped.

Nothing. I was just askin if Asif knew how to create custom searches in Opera. It comes quite handy really. Check out the video below start from 2:10.


I just created custom searches for hp.com and hp drivers and software search. This'll makes this much easier for me on my calls.

You make Opera sound like a science

 

[Rami]

Well it is a science! Isn't any program just a series of mathematical statements and loops?

Maybe it's cos the way i'm putting it across is making it sound c0mPl3ck5. Watch the video, and it should make things easy to understand.
