I can finally wander round saying things like "What we see now is like a dim image in a mirror. Then we shall see, tace to face." and not get looked at quite as odd as usual...
...So if Opera is the wild child of browsers, it would be incapable of parsing or rendering HTML, would periodically generate frenzied outbursts of sound and signals, and would occasionally defecate on the desktop.But with years of patient training, it might become a functional browser.
I have the exact same problem, and it used to drive me mad with the old CUB monitors on the BBC Micros - especially with colors such as Magenta, which was really distracting.
As far as i can work out (feel free to correct me anyone) its because I suffer from an Astigmatism and Nearsightedness, which along with doing some mad realtime-picture-ratio-adjustment (ie 4:3 stretched to 16:9) as I look up and down, causes color seperation.

Take it easy with the server though... I'm not sure how much load it can take...
I've got it on Gnutella too (same filename - gits-sac-trailer.mpeg), so only use the link when absolutely necessary... please.
I'll take it down if you guys kill the server too much...
Dont mind me, anyways... I'm just karma whoring.

Google seems to be working well as the self aware AI, tho... Google sets is just scary...
At current rates, im going for September next year before it decides to run off and hides somewhere when it gets bored of searching for things...
(Up, Down, Left, Right being the arrow keys... No start key, so we had to go with return).
