I must not be reading something correctly, because I'm interpreting what the AC said as it being incredibly lethal...
not getting an MMR measles mumps rubella shot is just criminal.
Thanks. The first shot almost killed me, and I was told that any boosters or retries later in life might finish the job. Glad to know I'm a criminal for that.
Sure, it sucks for the kids, but let's not pretend that the measles are fatal with the exception of a tiny fraction of cases.
Huh? Quoth wikipedia:
Between the years 1987 and 2000, the case fatality rate across the United States was 3 measles-attributable deaths per 1000 cases, or 0.3%. In underdeveloped nations with high rates of malnutrition and poor healthcare, fatality rates have been as high as 28%. In immunocompromised patients (e.g. people with AIDS) the fatality rate is approximately 30%.
But it's usage on computers has, for the 20 or so years before VOIP was common, been text-only. Witness items such as IRC, ICQ, AIM, etc.
Anyway I did not realize WebRTC was not actually one of these kinds of things, pavon incorrectly described "real-time audio and video" as "web chat."
I apologize. I was going off of:
"WebRTC, which is a new standard for browser-based chatting."
Blame pavon.
Web chatting is just that - chat. Thus my confusion.
First time I've seen that, I apologize. I was going off of:

What does lip reading have anything to do with chat (ie, text communication)?
Then use a VOIP solution.
Why would browser-based chat need audio streaming?
Between being happy that someone is causing harm to advertisers, and being not happy that 2-million zombies are, well, existing.
My favorite are sites that load a form or image in a "window" that tries to anchor to the center of the screen. Can't read it 'cause it's 1-inch wide? Zoom in... oh wait, NOPE! It moves itself to the right side expanding the page, and you get to play "chase the AJAX" - the only way to win is not to play.
My eyes! They may need to perform this trick on them to find all the capillaries that just burst...
It won't, if everyone using it is blocking the advertisements.
People will buy anything that's one to a customer.
