As the article says, I don't know if you could call this 'hacking' as such. I wonder if it would be possible to use a program to detect animated images likely to trigger epilepsy, and block them?

hooande, I love the site, but it doesn't seem to work properly in Opera (everything is fine in Firefox). Also, I tried some pages from the BBC web site, and it loses the 'uk' from the 'original webpage' link.
