Date display configuration

[Sprint]

I've discovered that the logical way to display a date is year, month,
day. 2010.01.07 would be today. This takes up a minimum of space. How
do I get Opera to display it like that?

[Ken Knox]

Opera takes the date format from the operating system. To change it in
Opera, change it in the OS.

It's not "the" logical way. It's "a" logical way. Such arrogance is unbecoming.

That said, I also prefer that way since being forced to adopt it in Japan. But we don't usually
use periods as separators.

More than that, it is nearly the standard way. Read
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601_usage
and change your preference to 2010-01-07 accordingly.

For linux, use a wrapper script to start opera with ...
export LC_TIME=en_DK

or put the export in a startup script like ~/.bashrc or
~/.profile

Using dots takes up less space. And is just as clear. Anyway, I should
have mentioned I'm using WinXP. Does anyone know how to force the message
list to always display it a certain way? Right now its displaying
Today.10:38.42 pm which really wastes line width. Also I'd like to see
every date on the computer displayed the same for consistency.

Only if you use a proportionally-spaced 'font' - and possibly not even
then.

I made a wild guess and asked Microsoft ;))

Some programs might ignore that setting, and so might web pages - and of
course any document where the date is 'plain text'.

[Data Mentahan]

My name is Maggie Lawson, and I am very enthusiastic to join the Internet of Think study program at STIKOM University. I am very interested in the world of technology and how software can help solve real world problems.

Since young, I have had a passion for programming. I started learning my first programming language at the age of 18, and since then, I have never stopped learning and developing my skills. I've worked on several small projects and worked on several applications https://ateliersansfrontieres.org/, which helped me understand the software development process from start to finish.

I am very interested in learning concepts like web development, mobile app development and database management. I also believe that collaboration is the key to creating great software, and I am passionate about working in teams to tackle complex challenges.

While at university, I hope to deepen my understanding of various programming languages, software development methodologies, and also understand how to solve problems in software development effectively. In addition, I plan to engage in group projects and practicums to gain deeper practical experience.

Outside of academia, I enjoy exploring side projects, learning about the latest trends in the tech industry, and participating in developer communities. I also believe that continuous learning is the key to staying relevant in the rapidly changing world of technology.

I really enjoyed meeting my classmates, lecturers and professionals in the software industry. Let's explore this exciting world together and collaborate to create innovative solutions.
