Surprisingly not for which I'm truly thankful, It was a very silly newb of a mistake I think its nice to see the community didn't scold me to badly for it. It is wasn't for Chris Maunder quick admin reactions I think things would have got a little messy :s

It jumps around, trying to cleverly format what you are typing but in fact totally screws it up.
Insert an emoticon at the end of some text, it appears at the beginning. HTML links, end up all over the place.
Did CP just give up supporting IE 8?
--edit--
Oh look, someone voted me a one. How unsurprising. Pity you didnt have the decency or courage to actually reply and tell me what it is I wrote that is so offensive.

Semi-Solution: IE9
REAL Solution #1: Chrome
REAL Solution #2: Firefox
Seriously after the atrocity that was IE6, why does anyone still use Microsoft web browsers?

Probably the same reason why some people still use Hotmail.

Hey, nothing wrong with Hotmail... It's a VERY convenient honeypot for spam.
Or, wait, you mean people use it for REAL mail? That's just silly.

Some of us (like me) are forced to at work. I use FF at home.

Ah, right... Military base... Can't expect the government to join the 21st century until at least 2045.

Yep. The Air Force has to approve every piece of software running on one of their systems. We can't even write a windows service or desktop application and deploy it without Air Force approval. And forget about running Silverlight out-of-browser.

Firefox? Fat, buggy... Google? Yeah, why not just install spy ware on your machine....
I prefer Opera. I have it on my other web machine. It is small, quick, and it works. Time to swithc this one over methinks...

Agreed. I have the latest version of Opera and I use ff3.6 as back-up
Excuse me for my improper grammar and typos.
It's because English is my primary language, not my first language.
My first languages are C# and Java.
VB, ASP, JS, PHP and SQL are my second language.
Indonesian came as my third language.
My fourth language? I'm still creating it, I'll let you know when it's done!

Although some may have found my post to be offensive because I referred to someone as having low intelligence, I noticed that I have two downvotes, each -2 points. No big deal and I normally would just forget about this and move on as I usually do.
What I noticed is that 68 posts and 22+ hours later I received the downvotes almost back to back. Were these from someone who just created an account and then downvoted me or from two individuals with low rep that were just offended?
Anyhow, no big deal...just curious.
Just along for the ride.

The key is the right amount of coffee to get my twitch frequency set just so.

If you can get the twitching at around 200-240 twitches a minute, you can type real fast just by running your hand over the keyboard.

We've got these fancy ergonomic keyboard trays attached beneath our desktops. If I raise the height of my equally fancy ergonomic chair a little bit, my leg twitches enough to bounce the keyboard against my hands, and types for me.

Excuses, excuses, excuses. Seriously though, I try not to touch the keyboard until I have had some caffeine.

As evidenced by recent discussions in the Lounge, it is not a popular feature.
Instead reserve voting for matter of a purely technical nature, so articles and help posts.
