    When you REALLY want to make sure your font is 8pt...

    Take a look at the source of this site: http://www.fujinonbinos.com/. Now scroll down really, really fast.

    It's like the pyramids of Egypt, rendered in text form.

    I bet when browsers encounter source like that they just think "Fuck you, buddy" about the web developer.  If ever there were an argument for equipping browsers with sentience, locomotion and machine guns...

    Not to mention it'll never place a non-404 image on the page if you have javascript turned off.

    Here is what Firebug has to say to this:

    On that note, I think, I'm going to suggest the addition of the new HTTP verb PUNCH to the HTML 5 guys.

    Sir, your graphic deserves to be put on the front page.

    WIN

    Also, you have too much time on your hands. I would normally "FAIL" you for that, but since the graphic is so full of WIN, I think that trumps all... Now, do you know Gibson and can you get him to write that one? Maybe the plot can be about a guy who is tasked with making sure the font is in 9 point or something...

    morbiuswilters: Oh, and this entire thread is pointless, flamebait spam. Heckuva job, drachy...
    Prepare for a life in hell, a thankless job where you service the dregs of society. Kinda like being a hooker that works in a crack house.

    "we don't appreciate political/nationalist/technology flamebaiting here, please do not do this" and this is why mods shouldn't be able to permanently delete threads... some of us can't read the historical entries and see what the problem was...

    What's the deal with your signature?

    Also, congrats on your 3,900th post.

    Also also, ++WIN

    I found something funny to add to that... I tried highlighting some of the text on the page (in Chrome) that would go between the really big font pyramids... and it actually seems to slow it down a bit.

     If you look at the source, you might notice this (scroll right?):

    I wanted to add the skyline of threadview. Squeezed it to 6000 pixels in width, but due to Tag Tower, it is 26000 pixels in height, and ImageShack chokes, I guess, on the resizing (gives me 504 Gateway Time-out).
