Details

I had a variable containing 2MB of binary data as a string, and without thinking I typed its name into the web console to verify that it wasn't null. The web console then echoed the 2MB of binary data, making my browser hang for a bit, and be generally unresponsive until I clicked "Clear". We should probably be smarter there, and truncate long strings with ellipses or something.
