Agreed, I just signed up and it is nothing special at all. It is a shame but with Firefox and Chrome being so good these days I totally forget about Opera. I used to try it out every new major release but I have even stopped doing that now. I don't know why they don't kill the Opera desktop browser as the mobile is the big money maker for them and do some work on WebKit or Gecko. They have a lot of talent but I can't help but feel it is wasted at Opera now.

Pretty much exactly that.

I say well done to Notch. I am not a fan of Minecraft but I think he has done a great job in how he has managed the business and development. He has been very open, never promised too much and kept to his word in continuing development. He has built up a lot of respect from the gaming community and people such as myself as a person who has integrity. I wish him all the best in the future with Minecraft and any other ideas he has. I like the way he has done things so far and I have no doubt if he continues what he is doing he will continue to be successful. I just hope he doesn't let the money change him and he just ditch Minecraft after it hits 1.0 or sells it off. I highly doubt he will though.

sod on "loan" I would like the option to have both thanks, I don't mind paying a £1 or so more than the physical copy is on its own but at the moment if I want both I have to buy both the physical and the digital copy. Like the BluRay+DVD packs that are available.

Agreed. Better Privacy for Firefox is pretty good for this but I would like to see secure deletion of user data for plugins be a core part of the browser and not an extension. They added stupid "personas" before deleting secure history deletion :(

Good post but two things I would change.

Firstly I would use sdelete from Microsoft (formally Winternals). It is a free command line secure delete utility. Just replace

del /q /s /f in the Firefox example with sdelete -p 2 -s and it will securly delete the files with 2 passes (although 1 should be fine for everyone to be honest).

Secondly there is no need to compile the OPs regdelete app as you can use the built in reg.exe to do this

Just do

reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs" /f

And the same job is done :)
