Microsoft and MSN have a history of trying to stop people from using the Opera browser. When trying to access MSN.com using the Opera7 browser, there are two visible problems. First, for the user it looks like Opera7 has a serious flaw so that many lines are partially hidden. Second, the page shows less content than users of Microsoft's Internet Explorer (MSIE) see.

The purpose of this page is to document, in technical terms, what is going on. Did the Opera programmers make grave mistakes? Or is it something wrong on the MSN site? If so, is the Opera browser targeted specifically? (Executive summary: no, yes, yes)

Second Life is nothing if not an experiment. Second Life, developed by novice studio Linden Lab, is a massively multiplayer online game most akin on the surface to the upcoming The Sims Online. On the outside, Second Life is a fully 3D game where, as in The Sims, you control an in-game avatar, which you use to interact with the world. But the comparison really only provides a starting point to look at a game that is wholly different structurally.
