    I imagine you may appreciate The Skeletor Show.

    I found your anecdote interesting, I'm sorry to hear about your experience.
    If you are genuinely interested in changing your facial expression you might want to look up more info about Myofascial Release and Craniosacral therapy, I find them to be greatly beneficial therapies.

    You do have child-proof locking mechanisms in cars in your area don't you?

    Uh huh. We are generally so inflexible in modern society.
    I would recommend regular stretching to anyone interested in increasing their physical well-being.

    I'm curious about the circuisware comment.
    Apparent software quality does make Apple's PCs look better than a lot of brand-name Windows PCs.
    Are manufacturers offering Linux PCs installing circuisware on them?

  9. Re:Woah... on Why Mozilla Is Committed To Using Gecko · · Score: 1

    I can't quite put my finger on it but Gecko renderings feel better to me than the competition. Maybe that's just because of familiarity.

    Anyway competition is good, If everyone adopted WebKit we would end up back where we were with the IE monoculture before.

    Also, I don't get what the obsession other web developers have with "consistent" results. It's the web, documents aren't meant to be pixel identical in different user agents, that's kind of the whole idea: I should be able to access the same information from a vt100, a PC with a high-res monitor, a screen reader or my phone. Obviously the experience is going to be different depending on which device I use.

    I really wish more developers would learn about the concept of progressive enhancement. I know it's often due to ignorant marketeers and designers, however better than being shiny on one browser+platform is if it "works anyhow".

    Anyone feel like starting a "works anyhow" button campaign?

    Yeah, I'm more interested in the field of full-body haptics as it relates to virtual reality, although I'm beginning to think lucid dreaming or astral projection might be more practical. Yes I have had lucid dreams although I can't trigger them regularly yet, no I'm not sure I believe astral projection is possible. I just want fully immersive VR damnit.
