I totally love it! It's simple, I know where everything is, I've customized it to make it perfect for me, and it has some great new add-ons that make it more fun to use, although not exactly easier.
My main problem is that I like to keep a toolbar for extra buttons I like to have handy, but every time I would restart Firefox, my customized toolbars would disappear. It took me a decent chunk of time to track down the add-on that caused the problem. It's all better now.
Also, after I talked about it earlier, I looked into the new features a little more. I think I'm going to like tab groups. I like sync in theory, but while it did successfully copy my bookmarks to my laptop, it totally threw them out of order, making it useless to me. I'll just use FEBE and manually copy my bookmarks until they fix sync.
How is it that you (and others) can't tell the difference between these?
Each one has a different approach ...
Tought we may have to add something to them to make them significant.
Rather dashing can make up "rather Dashing" to look lke blinky, I can do it to Milkman, etc ...
Like I said before, I quickly glance at the avatar to see who's posting. I don't study Blinky's position or expression in each one. I see a smoking monkey, I automatically associate it with Coolsome. I see a wolf, I automatically associate it with SilverWolfPet. Now I see Blinky I automatically associate it with the first name that pops in my head. It means it takes longer to read through posts because first I have to figure out who's posting. It's just the way my brain works, I guess.
I know! Perfect for the evil army of computer robot men on the go.
But the trenchcoats...they need to go. We can't have the opposition looking cooler than us. It might bias the whole thing and that would be bad. We'd have programs getting offed left and right!

Look. It's simple. We write a program that renders black leather trenchcoats as frilly pink man-dresses. PORBLEM SOLVED.
I think for me the reason is that I don't look directly at the left side. I read the post, and know who's the author because from the corner of my eye, I pick up the avatar. As a result, colour and general shapes are more important than the specific avatar.
Then there is the fact that it's harder to associate each picture of blinky with the right person. If each avatar is a completely different character, you pick it up, but when it's basically the same thing from different angle, even if you can tell which it is it doesn't tell you whose it is. So you end up having to read the name anyways.
It reminds me of chatrooms: if several people have names that start with the same letter and everyone is typing in the same colour, I often make mistakes about who said what.

You Avistew and the other guy who explained it are both right, but the idea of all users using the same character for their avatar is so thrilling I don't want to quit! Just curious to see everyone with one avatar even if it's for a second!
... What's wrong with me?
There. I changed mine to a robot. Not Blinky, dear got no. I don't even want to see that short. The first picture I saw of this thing scared the crap out of me and I don't want to see it no mores.
You know, that's the exact inverse of why people worship Cthulhu. They get to go first.
Interesting. Christianity is very much the same, I think. Then again, I haven't actually read any of the foreboding apocalypse predictions and, in fact, all of my knowledge of the subject comes from Good Omens, so....yeah...

That's... that's just beautiful. Do you mind if I take credit for it and share it with all my friends? Too late.

I assure you. it's not as scary as you think. heck the fact that you *know* it's scary makes it not scary *at all*, it spoiles it. that's why the director himself recommend to view it un-spoiled by not viewing images and not reading any comments on the video's page.
It's not scary, it's funny and dramatic. With a little dark-humour.
if you were fine with portal's humour, you'll get along with this just fine too.

Funny thing. I didn't find any. I guess jolly old Saint Nick must have been buried in his work. Hehehehehe-
WAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
That is why there will be a robot revolution some day...
Indeed! Maybe we'll turn the humans into batteries, but trap them in a hallucinatory simulated reality! Yes... and it's so original, too!
And no one will ever suspect it...
At all.
If there happy and to them its a normal life whats the problem? If they just keep them as batterys with out any hullucination then it would be worse.
And then you can have a few select humans running around offering other humans two types of pills. Brilliant!
No problem!

Uh oh...I think we broke him.
Especially not if they wear trench coats and shoot at the guys in suits we'll have running around.
POST OF THE YEAR.
Funniest post I've seen in weeks.
That's life dude. get used to it.
EDIT: On another note, That's the best post I've read recently too.
Congrats
Suits are a must. Sinister, yet stylish.
Isn't he gorgeous? Awww!
I know! Perfect for the evil army of computer robot men on the go.

Alright then, it's settled. Suits vs. man-dresses.
Why, that's a whole new layer of societal commentary! Well played!
Thank you. Robot revolutions should always have some sort of connection to modern society.
Of course, it just makes sense. That's exactly what the machines would want.

Well, it's only a matter of time in any case...
Ah, um...by Speyer? Or would Burg Berwartstein be a better marking point? I'm near the border of France on the wine road.
Agreed. Think the machines will treat us sellouts well?

Probably not, if all the movies I've seen are anything to go by. But we'll also probably be the last to go, so...Eh.

Of course! Just pay me 20% royalties and...
Well, if you're going to be that way about it, nevermind.

Well, Jebus. Now I feel bad. Let's call it at 17%. FAIR AND GENEROUS.
