@meyerweb ah, the cost of having a chance that your vote might count for something
@tieguy The stop is very rarely operational, so don't get used to it. Also, you're just talking about saving a 10 minute walk.
@shappy no, NCE. Less than 10m walk from hotel to airport (just before 5am), and almost no lines, except security, which wasn't open yet.
@shappy @mconnor @WhereItsCat @tenaciouscb In May, I set alarm for 2 hours before a flight was *scheduled*. Ended up too early. Airpt hotel.
@elwoz So what IE's doing just leads to the header being ignored.

@elwoz And sites will only honor DNT voluntarily if it's sent only by the small portion of users who explicitly chose not to be tracked.
@elwoz But the standard says the default is off because that's the only way you can build a voluntary system off it.

@elwoz But the basis of it being a voluntary system is that the header represents an explicit user choice.

@meyerweb Preferences -> General -> When Firefox Starts

@jswalden You should wait until next week, which is National Procrastination Week. /cc @asutherland
@graydon_moz @bz_moz @littlecalculist Does it keep increasing? I had Firefox running for 48 days (ending last week), quite tolerably.

@bz_moz @littlecalculist @graydon_moz In Fx, I'd say caching/fragmentation is ok; doing X a second time should peak no higher than first.

@RobbertAtWork dbaron.org/css/intrinsic/ and dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-tables… have a lot more detail about tables, though need merging and fixing.
