The full version works fine in Opera 9.5...now who says Opera's not a compatible enough browser? ;-)
Acid3 Race In Full Swing, Opera Overtakes Safari 261
enemi writes "Just a few days after Safari released version 3.1, Opera employee David Storey writes on his blog that they've overtaken Apple's browser in the Acid3 test. In the race to be the first to reach the reference rendering, Opera's software leads now with 98%, closely following by Safari with 96% and Firefox 3 beta 4 with 71%. He also noted the implemented features will not make a public appearance in the following weeks, because they are getting close to releasing Opera 9.5. That version has been under public testing since September and the new CSS3 color modes and font rendering features might further delay this. They will probably show the score in a preview build soon and wait for a post 9.5 stable build to release the new features to the public." Update: 03/26 21:21 GMT by Z : Opera is now at 100%, apparently, with Safari close behind at 98%.
Update: 03/27 by J : Public build r31356 of WebKit (Safari's rendering engine) is at 100%.
Comment Here's a variant, incoming-only message splitter (Score 1) 1006
If anyone here is looking for something similar -- just chopping up incoming mails so they don't hit the 160-character limit -- I've hacked up a perl script to do it.
It doesn't do the "request-and-send-on" functionality that the parent has (kudos to the original poster, very clever) but if you're just looking for chopping up e-mails it's useful. I use it as the recipient of my cron monitoring jobs.
Tested with qmail, could probably easily be adapted to other MTAs. http://www.quickfire.org/smschop-0.01.tar.gz

Not only does AMD have the only desktop 64-bit offering right now, but their chips are much faster than Intel's at the same clockspeed, even in 32-bit mode. Whereas Intel's engineers are just running their chips at insane clockspeeds, AMD's are actually designing better processors. For the price of a 3.4GHz "800"MHz FSB P4EE ($989 on pricewatch right now), you could buy two Opteron 246s ($441 each) with cash to spare. If you want to talk raw, meaningless numbers, the Opterons still beat the P4EE (4GHz and 2MB cache total). Of course, SMP isn't simply additive like that, but consider the advantages of 64-bit and multiprocessing, and the fact that AMD chips are /much/ faster than Intel's at the same clockspeed (even on 32-bit code), and there's no contest. All halfway-modern Windows versions and Linux kernels can support SMP, and the latest support amd64, too.
