   Review - Opera for Windows (Beta)

   10.00 Build 1750 RC2 Beta (Aug 29, 2009)

   Phat Esther:
   
   I actually always thought the nick was "An Alpha Tester", but I don't see an "h" if you just deleted "anal". If that was really the case, I commend you in that respect. Alpha Tester works with your crying review of all software it seems.
   
   Anyways, after all this time, I decided to try to decipher your gibberish and MAY have found the issue you keep bringing up. What I have done and what you should have done, is properly submit a bug report to Opera or on the forum. Yes, you have posted to the forum, but those posts were done in the same respect that you show here--thus disregarded.
   
   If you want to test what I have found, try downloading multiple links while you have the "transfers" or "downloads" manager open when doing so. If the manager is not opened, I see most links fail. Give it a try and please try to post a comprehensible message of the results.

   Review - Opera for Windows (Beta)

   10.10 Build 1729 Beta (Aug 21, 2009)

   Holy Smokes! Phat Esther and her incomprehensible rage regarding multiple link, file, or whatever-save she talks about. These comments looked remarkably similar another's: analphatester. I have to say Phat Esther == analphatester. What is the reasoning for another account? It has been questioned and discussed previously just wtf analphatester was referring to.
   
   I like how Blaxima put it "Another release and another review (and I use that term loosely) from bitterman and Phat Esther."
   
   With more recent development releases, and focusing on Unite more, I think they are coming close to the final, just wanting Unite to be polished before.

   Review - WinSnap (32-bit)

   3.1.1 (Aug 18, 2009)

   Are you seriously going to post a review to restate that you are furthering your own recommendation for each version? That seems very sad and petty.
   
   Now we have to sift through all of your frivolous reviews.

   Review - BWMeter

   5.1.1 (Aug 14, 2009)

   At first when I had seen the firewall policy, I was unhappy with another application trying to do everything to keep people to upgrade. After taking a look at it, it was a bit different as Cookie28 has noted. Basically provide access or not...but I don't want to see it try to turn into a full fledged firewall.
   
   Yes, some may not realize, but some vendors' policy is to pay for upgrades for major revisions and DeskSoft is one. If I recall, i think I upgraded to their lifetime free upgrade promotion when it was available.
   
   And why should you *not* have to reboot after installing this? Did you write the application, or do you not have to reboot after installing drivers on your system (which this does)?

   Review - Opera for Windows (Beta)

   10.00 Build 1708 Beta (Aug 14, 2009)

   Beta 3 == Beta 107000000000? I must have missed my arithmetic classes.
   
   Sure, there are *weekly* builds, but not nightly builds like Firefox, so I'm not sure I understand your reasoning and argument. I'm also not sure how it can be stated "...[Opera] rates low compared to all the others except IE..." with the current BN score being 4.2.
   
   I use Opera almost exclusively, but use Firefox when something does not work in Opera (and IE if not work in Firefox) and I do not see the majority say Firefox is crap. I have to agree with dapixn that " this browser works. Its email client is 5*** if you imap it with gmail and you dont have to find plugins here and ther to do basic things." If anything that I see, your "fanboys" of Firefox are those saying "FF rulez and others is junk". I dislike wearing my FF s*** or hat in public because people who think they're cool praise me with the dribble but are ignorant and not open-minded.
   
   Not bashing Firefox, but "oh, a new Firefox version is out......uggh, none of my add-ons work because they are not compatible with this version. doh!"
   
   The BN single browser "speed test" does show v10 as being "...the slowest browser on earth (except IE)". Can you honestly say that you can notice the difference? I can't recall from the article, but did that test include all the FF add-ons that will be required to support the same feature set in Opera? I value speed, but I value productivity, efficiency, ease of use, configurability, and innovation more (to an extent). Yes, if something takes 100x longer to do and is noticeable, I may sacrifice those criteria.
   
   This build is working great so far; I have not had a single issue that I can recall since I began running the v10 releases.
