Works in Opera. But then, most things do work in Opera. (Love Opera more than any other browser. They all copy what Opera pioneers.--All the "cool features" in Firefox? Opera had way before... even stuff in Chrome was already in Opera a year or so before Chrome hit the market.)

Maybe Safari was just getting really impassioned about the whole trademark infringement issue! Who knows...

That definitely could be the case, considering its lineage.

Firefox has Remove It Permanently, which is for me an extension I can't live without. Don't want to see a certain subforum on the RRF? Right click and it's gone for good.
Great Ramp In My Opinion.

I like how I can have Opera speak to me what you all are typing/saying.

If only I could have it listen to me and dictate/post.

*Then* we might have to watch out because I'm sure the database would break from all of the blabbermouth activity it would see.

With a name like "Opera", don't you think it should sing to you instead?

I should look into finding a voice for Opera that *will* sing.

If ya wanna do a tribute to a Ricky bass, why not incorporate some original ideas? The 24 fret neck was a good start, but copying the stock body outline leaves you with four unreachable frets. Bring the cutaways in so they can be reached. Use different pickups and hardware. Instead of copying the body and headstock shape, make them a little more futuristic and "swoopier" while basing them on the original design. Don't use RIC parts either. Look around for some really unique products that will set the bass apart, yet not look like they were sourced through the usual channels. Do the finish in a classic RIC FireGlo to trick the viewer into thinking, at a glance, that it's a stock 4003. Make it the 4003 of the future. I had a kid in History class who used to copy off my paper. I didn't feel like he was paying tribute to me, and I'll bet John Hall doesn't feel that way about this bass either.
