I believe it is determined by your video card. You could try fiddling with the about:config settings:

webgl.disabled webgl.force-enabled

Though it wouldn't surprise me if you started to get BSODs.

"...outdated beliefs..." I didn't know ethical decisions had an expiration date.

"the last time".

You're right to infer that the Christians did their fair share of burning as well, if not more so in this case.

If the Muslims didn't burn down the library of Alexandria I wonder if the Renaissance wouldn't have come much sooner.

An interesting story of ants I've experienced: when I was in California some time ago standing duty at a barracks, there was an infestation of ants everywhere (anyone in California can guess the type of ants they were). To kill some time I found a can of ant killer and proceeded to spray the ones surrounding a vending machine that they took over. 30 minutes later to my surprise, other ants had found all the places where I had sprayed and cordoned it off with gravel they carried with them as a warning to other ants. Has anyone come across other interesting behavior like this?
