Yea, I guess my key point was the "request.ip in
paityHairedIPAddresses". I was just thinking "graphic designer
who expects pixel-perfect == doesn't know what a web browser is ==
always uses IE". But then, "graphic designer" tends to imply Mac
anyway, as Mac has always tended to be the artist-type's OS, so no IE.

Heh, I think the first explanation I would have tried would've been
"They're all different *because* it's Safari." :) Not necessarily to
bash on Safari, but whatever makes the dumb questions go away ;)

"They're different because they're different, dammit! Now shaddup and
lemme finish making your stupid little site..."  <-- Heh, if only we
could get away with that...

"They're different because the people who make browsers just like to
piss me off."

Tons 'o fun to be had with that one!
