I know, I know, a lot of Opera stuff lately, but they’re doing a lot of stuff these days!

And now they’ve released an Elitist Jerks version of Opera (download links here).

As we all know, WoW is probably the biggest game in the world right now, or one of them anyways, and there are a lot of mathematics involved in the game for those who are such inclined. Elitist Jerks is the best place to stop by if you want to read what others have found, and engage in some serious discussions about the in-game mechanics. This version also has a lot of relevant RSS feeds, Speed Dials and bookmarks for the happy theorycrafter and hardcore number-cruncher that wants the most out of their characters.

And above all, it’s really, really cool! :D

Pixar granted a dying girl’s final wish which was to see their new movie ‘Up’.

So, excuse me while I’m wiping away tears, but this is just awesome of them.

This was running on Opera Unite 2 years ago. My reaction = WTF?! BADASSNESS!

Just crazy, awesome, incredible. Damn.

It’s pretty much as I thought. Too many techies, including myself, think our knowledge is so common throughout the world we become ignorant of other people’s misconceptions, lack of interest and knowledge. Pretty funny, especially the guy that dropped by his friend’s house and deleted Internet Explorer and installed Firefox instead.

Edit: Box has released a statement, and he’s being pretty awesome about the whole coup! Kudos for such a diplomatic response! And furthermore, serious kudos to Malus and Jarudin for such a smooth move. It was amazingly professional. Ach, if all revolutions were as smooth and painless as this…

Looking for Boxtorrents.com? This is what you’d find.

This is what greeted me today

For years and years now this site has been my one stop shop for almost everything anime and manga. I’ve left my computer on to seed for other people for countless of hours, and it’s been one of the mainstays in my life after I discovered it. An explanation has been posted here. The crux of the matter is this part:

[Box was evasive about donations]…curiosity got the best of us, and so Jarudin wrote a script to get an idea of just how much money we were getting from donations. Note that this was based entirely on how much upload credit donators have gotten, since we have no access to the Paypal account the donations went to. When Jarudin and I saw the results, we were shocked, to say the least. We won’t say how much exactly, but let’s just say that based on the numbers (after double/triple/quadruple-checking the numbers, even adding them up manually), we haven’t really needed any donations to keep the site operaable for a long time now.

Box has always been one of the symbols of altruism on the internet for me. Seems that money can bite anyone in the ass and make them less altruistic. Regardless of the actual truth of this I have every confidence in Jarudin and Malus, they’ve done an insanely good job on BoxTorrents the last years, and from everything I’ve seen these years Box hasn’t been active at all, and thus I’m not too fussed anymore.

BoxTorrents has been replaced with the new BakaBT.com.
