What do you hate most about the internet? - Page 3

Its weird when you think about this generation growing up now with broadband nonstop internet access, its the most significant thing since television, theres gonna be some weird perspectives on it in 10-20 years time. Unlesss of course everyone is locked up inside 24 hours a day on the internet and is therefore unable to develop a perspective, but THE FUTURE YEAAAAH!

it works well with fixed pixel layouts

what background images? no no...the smaller div will show LESS of the background (overflow:hidden), you can align it center, top/bottom left or right.

google "sliding door technique"

the font thing is in the works i believe; it would be a boon for internet typography because right now we're stuck with limited options. ive seen something like that at work in myfonts.com-- you type the sample text and it gets displayed in all the fonts. i think they do it by generating images though. still, brilliant.

i like verdana but a well-sized and properly spaced georgia is great for reading long texts like newspaper articles. check out the washington post & the new york times.

the corner radius is great too, could have 4 variables for all 4 corners like:

div { cradius: 25px 50px 25px 25px }

dude you should send your idea to the w3c

Those "if you don't do this you will have bad luck for 10 years, and if you do you'll meet your true love this week" sort of things.

The easy access to porn makes up for everything, though.

I'm going to seem like the ultimate luddite, but I hate instant messaging, and refuse to do it. I don't do text messaging on my cell phone either though. If I'm going to communicate with somebody in real time, why the fuck wouldn't I just call them?

I guess text messaging on the cell is more like e-mail, which I do tons of, but you have to type on a cell phone, which is just stupid and undoubtedly guaranteed to destroy your fingers from repetative motion.

IM bugs me, because it gives people the ability to interrupt you in what I consider one of the most private environs going. E-mail is great, because you can answer people as quickly as you feel like, and take the time to think out what you say. Even message boards are like that basically. But IM and IRC are just inane and invasive.

Yeah, but what I hate about that is for all the "specialization" out there, you are inevitably exposed to a bunch of shit you don't want to see. I've never gotten into looking at pictures of girls covered in cum, though I don't have anything against consenting adults who do like that. Still, if I want to look at pictures of something I find erotic on the internet, I am sure to see lots of that stuff without even trying.

It's boring without people posting, so come on. do it. you know you want to.

king-buzzo · 05.16.2007, 02:47 AM

Trolls. I hate trolls.
