| An irregularly updated journal of my Fair and Balanced thoughts, reactions, opinions, biases, outrages, strategies, victories, and commentary. Whatever it is, it's much too subtle to be considered a parody... |

| Don't Tell ME how my browser should open your page... |

Attention Web Page Designers: The following event pisses me off:onclick="window.open('http://www.example.com/somepage.html', 'popup', 'width=304, height=232, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, toolbar=no, directories=no, location=no, menubar=no, status=no, left=0, top=0'); return false" I do not care if you don't want your popup window to have scrollbars, be resizable, use the toolbar, the location, the menubar, or the status area, etc. It's not your damn screen. The height and width are OK, but the rest of it is none of your business.
Attention Browser Developers: Please provide the ability to override stupid window decisions by Web Page Designers, both on an instance by instance basis and as a preference. This will be a competitive advantage for your product over inferior browsers which provide choices to developers without providing adequate overrides for users.
That is all.

My personal favorites are the ones which specify no scrollbars and a size which doesn't actually display the entire page.
