There are a lot of new features and improvements, but one in particular has blown my mind. Tabs are now stackable! Within minutes I became so dependent upon this feature that I've migrated completely to the new version in spite of it still being in beta.
In addition to this Opera now supports extensions. Technically Opera has supported extensions <a

For example, if I type g tinsology in the address bar, you'll get the Google search results for the keyword tinsology. You can do similar things with yahoo, amazon, ask and other sites that come preconfigured in Opera.

href="http://opera.com" target="_blank">Opera</a> several years ago. Until recently, however, I've always had Internet Explorer installed. This is because there always seemed to be some website that either insisted on users using IE, or was coded in such a way that it only worked in IE. It seems counter-intuitive to me that the browser that is the least standards complient should be the one that everyone codes there website to work with, even at the expense of all of the other browsers, but that was the reality of the industry for a long time. Only now do I believe that that era is almost over; it is now possible to uninstall IE permanently. <a

Though this processor was not the first 64-bit processor, it was the first aimed toward general consumers. Chances are, if your computer was manufactured in the last few years, you have a 64-bit compatible processor. You may be wondering what the difference is and what this means to you. If you've looked into the issue in the past, you've probably determined that the most significant differences is that in order to have more than 4GB of RAM, you need a 64-bit processor. The reasons for this and its implications may not be so clear, so I'll do my best to clear things up. <a

By default you can integrate cookies, users, and even have access to WordPress functions. After all of this, however, the user will still experience two independent applications. Most likely the themes you are using were not made with each other in mind. This doesn't have to be the case, and if you're willing to get your hands dirty you can get your bbPress installation to look and feel as if it is entirely a part of WordPress.

As soon as I opened my ftp program to browse through my files I found the problem. In my home directory there were tons of core.##### files (where # is some number). Each one was roughly 45MB and in total they were eating up about 2GB of space. I don't know why they were generated, but I do know how. Core dumps occur when some program crashes. The core files are more or less an image of what was in memory at the time of the crash. <a
