"Mrs. WordPress" posted this comment under Mr. WordPress's comment on my Learning WordPress blog:

So here you are…enough is enough, come home already.

Can someone please tell Mr. Wordpress to go home to his wife and child??? All this commenting around the internet is getting a tad bit juvenile, don’t you think?

Opera released the second Beta version of its next browser (8.0 Beta 2). It includes an answer to the recent security debate over Web site spoofing.

Download Opera (8.0 Beta 2)

Opera has created a whitelist of safe Top-Level Domains for IDN. TLDs are considered safe if they have implemented anti-homographic character policies or otherwise limited the available set of characters to prevent spoofing. Current whitelist contains .no, .jp, .de, .se, .kr, .tw, .cn, .at, .dk, .ch and .li. List is updated automatically in the Opera version check. Domain names from other top-level domains that contain characters outside Latin 1 will be displayed in punycode.

What else to look for in Opera's Beta 2:

• Easier customization and skinning
• Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) verifies that the certificate has not been revoked by the certificate authorities
• Atom newsfeeds

Javascript to kill Google's AutoLink. Add this to your webpages, "it will rewrite, the rewritten urls, killing the Autolink functionality."

AutoLink is a feature in Google's toolbar which automatically add links into webpages.

when clicking the Toolbar's AutoLink button will automatically create a link to an online map (US addresses only)? AutoLink can also link package tracking numbers to delivery status, VIN numbers (US) to vehicle history, and publication ISBN numbers to Amazon.com listings.
