It's incredible how some problems seem so simple until you load the browser with so much text it just bogs to nothing and how impossibly difficult it becomes after this point.  Very cool implementation of a problem that.... who has this problem.  If it takes me 2 mintues to scroll through a diff at mach speed like the video, is a diff going to solve my problem?
