Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Opera 9.5
It is so fast! Everything is even more responsive than before - and I though it was fast then (vs IE) - you should see the animated GIFs on this site (them smilies)... they do a complete loop in around five times a second.
The only down side(s) is that when I upgraded, previous history entries that I had deleted came back. I think that has got something to do with the new history search feature. Another minus is that the tool bar that shows the tabs looks Vista inspired - not a good thing when you use Linux.

Memory usage is around the same, although Opera uses a lot less CPU time on my box than Firefox does - but that's just becuase my box is old.
As for features - Opera has a lot of them, Firefox not so much, but Firefox is every expandable. The current Opera email client also doesn't support HTML emails yet (due for version 10), which can be a disadvantage (I don't like HTML email, so its good).
Overall, I think its worth trying. I've used Opera since version 8 - which is was 2 or 3 years ago. Opera 9.5 is a vast improvement.

A comment on Opera 9.5: After a while, the black bar that shows the tabs hurts the eyes if the site you are on has a light colored background... I might mod the interface...

I have to admit, after being a critic on that whole brushed metal look, it isn't really that bad. In fact, it's actually very nice. It would probaly look better on a Apple display, cause the monitor is made of brushed aluminium whereas mine is cheap plastic with silver paint.

IE8 is supposed to be much more compliant than 7, and apparently Microsoft is soon going to stop supporting 7.Originally posted by The Architect
I was just curious, so I tried the Acid 2 test, which tests if the browser can render standards compliant HTML. And Opera 9.5 passed without a hitch. It would be interesting to see if IE7 does - last time I heard it still has trouble.
Here's the link if anyone wants to give it a go: https://www.webstandards.org/action/acid2/
I read a whole article on 8. It sounds like they hired some smart programmers, but they ended up overthrowing their smarts for microsoft stupidity yet again.
Peace, love and Anarchy~~~~~~~
