Web designers who design non-resizable pop up windows with important data should be executed.
Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 07:01 PM by Rabrrrrrr
And they should let me do the executing.

Goddamit, nothing is more frustrating than having a window show up, and it only shows the left side of the information, but the jackass piece of shit fuckwit web designer decided to lock the window at a certain size so that it is impossible to see all the data, because, of course, there's also no scroll bar at the bottom.

No, Mr. Jackoff too-clever-by-half dirtbag web designer has determined ahead of time that his window is perfect and that, therefore, of course there need be no room made for adjustment because, hey, it's perfect, right?!?!?!

Assholes.

After ten years of this bullshit, my hatred for you grows stronger and stronger.

1. I personally want 5 minutes alone with the idiot
who thinks a see through small window that moves as I scroll and blocks half the recipe I am trying to read is something of interest to me.

MAKE THE DAMN THING GO AWAY


I also want a few minutes with any real live, proven spammer or spyware/adware scum. I promise I will not kill them or permanently maim or disfigure them

3. Oh, yeah, that's a whole 'nother level of scum that needs to be addressed.
And by "addressed" I mean "excrutiatingly painfully drawn and quartered and the remains burned in the nuclear hell of a sun".

11. That's a generous window size - do it like the others, and make it 120,80

8. Web designers who don't design for resizable anything, including font size need to be shot.
That means all you baztids out there defining fonts using 'px' instead of 'em'.

SHOT!

9. Of course, if you use firefox and the firebug plugin, you can always override the specified size.
If your a top-notch hacker. And I do mean top notch. It takes mad skilz to go into firebug and go to the dom tab and change the dom width. MAD skilz.

:P

10. And all those who still haven't figured out the correct use of style sheets...
Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 07:35 PM by Kutjara
...so you see style info scattered around with HTML on the page, in addition to a CSS link at the top. Do they think style sheets are just some header baloney that don't mean anything?
