I for one, don't. That would change in a hurry if I were making a web site or an image that actually needed to be accessible to the unwashed masses, but, as matters stand, I figure that the best thing to do is follow my.png-ish whims. I'd encourage others (if they asked me) to do so as well in their personal pages and such. My theory goes that while people will simply be annoyed when a page they must visit (some company's web page, maybe) looks bad, they may actually be upset when something they actually want to look at is corrupted. I admit, it may not be accurate to assume that people do want to look at what I produce, but someone must.
Now that's an amazing display of prescience. I'll just refrain from making similar predictions, since they might come true as well. I wouldn't want that.
I'm no expert (or indeed even someone who's seen the system in action), but I believe so, from the description above. As it says, the strokes making up a character are always written in a particular order, so the software in the phone can make an educated guess as to where the next stroke you input goes.
I'd recommend that you just take a break now and then, uncurl whenever you notice you're doing it, and make an effort to curl in slighty different ways each time you curl. Curl to the left one time, and the right next time. As long as you don't stay scrunched up for a long time, I'd say that the frequent movement will do you good. I do this occasionally as well, but not often enough for me to worry about it.
Although it's a joke, that's not a bad idea. Sitting on the floor is actually very comfortable. It could draw a few stares at the office, but if you're trying to construct some sort of ergonomic home setup, you should give it a try. Works well for me anyway. It's also cheaper than a chair.
The only difference is that it's okay, albeit annoying when you have to turn the volume down during commercials, since they aren't going for audio quality.
It's not that the loud parts are clipped, rather they are compressed.
Technically, yes, a compressor is often the device used to mess the sound up, rather than a limiter, but the way they are used makes them output a nearly identical result. A compressor with very high compression just clips the signal, maybe squishing it a tiny bit near the boundary between compressed and uncompressed sound levels.
I will stick to my nasty old mp3s, and chuckle when your music collection takes 100000 times more space than mine and sounds no different on headphones.
Well, that depends a lot on you headphones (I can tell you don't have tube headphones), but still, I salute you for your attempt to bring a different arguement into the thread.
You would? Why is that? Are you just a generally spiteful person, or would you be willing to actually give us your motive? By the way, that doesn't need answering.
To the person who had the idea: Probably they want to make the browser as easy to use as possible, without needing technical knowledge.

I'm trying to picture a valid flame. I haven't got it yet, but give me a minute.
What? There is no life without Windows Media PNGs! They're the first museum-quality image format.
I for one, don't.

They'll probably come out with the "WMG" format which you will have to pay for a license to sign your own images.
But how will we pronounce it?Now that's an amazing display of prescience. I'll just refrain from making similar predictions, since they might come true as well. I wouldn't want that.

Oops. I meant, "strokes that make up each character."
The sytem described in the other post mentioned was one using the stokes that make up each character.

Huh, I'd think that one of those "equal oppurtunity" weirdos would have complained when banning women drivers was proposed.

You are playing in a pitch black room, right?
And for anyone who doesn't know, Sleep Apnea means that you stop breathing while asleep, often many times a night.
I wonder why the news page for the German version is in English.
That's very strange. The only Marian the Librarian I know of is from The Music Man.

That doesn't mean they sound "better". It just means that some people like them better. You can't quantify opinions, so you might as well stop trying.
What are you driving at?
What is connection between ionised gases and the green-house effect?
Simple home experiment: touch a neon lamp with your hand. You'll discover it is cool.
Where's the connection between these two statements?You would? Why is that? Are you just a generally spiteful person, or would you be willing to actually give us your motive? By the way, that doesn't need answering.

Seriously, what's to prevent Joe Slashdot reader from rebooting with a Knoppix CD?
Put the computer in a box, then lock it.
Or they would find even more annoying ways to spam.
