Title: Better Text Rendering

Applying `opacity: .999999` & `tranform: translate3d(0, 0, 0)`
to either 1

1 or 11 will improve font rendering and site
performance in a bunch of browsers by initializing hardware
acceleration (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKl78ZgJzm4).

I'm not sure who to credit the `opacity .999999` trick but I
choose to use six 9's since in the inspector it rounds up to 1

The opacity trick has been demonstrated to fix a lot of things
other than font rendering, and oddly enough it actually improves
css speed when it's working with hardware acceleration.

Peace
