4. If 28k is a "huge chunk of bandwidth" for you, you may wish to change your internet service.

[Pangolin2]

5. I meant 'bandwidth' in the way that most people incorrectly define it.

A waste of time/resources/attention/etc.

It was just a stupid waste...and here we are propping it. ARRGHHH
:grr:
By the way, I wasn't addressing you, madam.

[BlooInBloo]

8. Telling someone to Fuck Off And Die because of a "huge" waste of resources..

That require about 2 minutes to create, and occupied 56k of the very resource you cited is pretty extreme.

Emo child is emo.

[Pangolin2]

10. It still requires the browser to display all that crap.

So the reader has to scroll through it. But that doesn't seem to bother the spammers.

[DRoseDARs]

12. You are Failing on so many levels right now.

<<<

[Pangolin2]

13. Love those tits...are they yours?

:D

[DRoseDARs]

15. Thank you for taking that so well. I'm mean, come on, it's Aerosmith.

How can anyone get pissy over Aerosmith? Especially such a good album? :shrug: :P

Anyway, that red-green graphic was posted the way it was posted intentionally. Having to scroll and scroll and scroll was the whole point. You know, "A picture is worth a thousands words" and all that. Just chill, m'kay?

[Pangolin2]

25. I am so very chilled right now you'd be amazed. Things are warming up real fast

I have this oh ohhhh ohh god don't stop oo oooh ooooohhhhh
that was wonderful

17. Jesus H. Freakin' Christ

Somebody needs a nap!

[Pangolin2]

22. Hey, I'm just a titophile and wanna give credit where credit's due...

you gotta problem with that, Sally?
:D

[DRoseDARs]

27. The sad thing is this red-green graphic isn't even the original size. It's smaller. By a lot.

This one takes me hitting the "Page Down" button 8 times. The original version is an epic 16 "Page Down" button mashings. "Image dimensions: 499px × 15999px" on the green column. Huzzah!

[Control-Z]

33. Weeeeeeee!

That was fun. And I have a broken left wrist and a sprained right. One in a cast, the other braced. I guess that scrolling should have been painful, given my condition and the pain I'm already in. But it wasn't. It was a delight, in fact!

Hint: Like Bloo said, it's all in the underlying fact that you so (obviously) dislike.

[ConsAreLiars]

6. Actually, due to the way image data is encoded,

very little data needed to be sent or read in order to produce that graphic.

[BlooInBloo]

9. Yep. In essence "green. repeat 1,999,999 times"....

Gotta love information theory.

[Pangolin2]

11. True, but that doesn't excuse its stupidity.

Does it?

[Hissyspit]

14. Up to ten recommendations now. Thanks for kicking this creative use of graphics.

[rhett o rick]

19. It this was stoopid, why waste so many comments? nt

[BlooInBloo]

21. Could lead a person to suspect that it might be the underlying fact that the poster dislikes...

As opposed to merely their presentation.

[havocmom]

24. Think you got that right, Bloo

Some people just don't cotton to the facts.

[ConsAreLiars]

31. "By George, I DO believe you're on ton something!!" (nt)

[rhett o rick]

34. My question stands. Why are you all wasting so many comments on a stoopid post?

Are you trying to teach the poster some kind of lesson so they never do it again? Stoopid posts would drop like bush* rating if those that thought they were stupid just ignored them.

32. While there has been some stupidity and ignorance displayed in this thread, the OP reflects neither.

Anger coupled with ignorance compounded by stupidity is very typical of what normal people regard as dangerous lunatics. You might want to check your meds, or look in a mirror and see if there are teabags are dangling from your ears.

[struggle4progress]

30. The subject line told you exactly what to expect. If graphics like that are problematic for you,

why not browse with images turned off so you decide which to actually look at? I sometimes do that when my ISP is slow: then (for example) you'd only have seen the little "graphics" indicator and the link I posted

[Vickers]

3. Ha!

Excellent.

:thumbsup:

16. I'm bookmarking this thread.

Comes the middle of winter, I'll be happy to see so much green.

[Lifelong Protester]

18. as a visual learner, I appreciated this

that and I HAVE changed to a better internet service lately...

[rhett o rick]

20. rec 11. and kick

[nolabear]

23. Hah! Made my day.

Well, that and the hissy fit that followed.

[Hissyspit]

26. Did you say Hissy Fit!!!?

Oop. Did I use too much bandwidth posting that?

[Union Yes]

28. Some folks struggle to see humor when it's presented. I am not one of these people.

Funny as hell.

Great thread concept.

:hi:

35. Neil Boortz said "As many as 1.5 million....." So he's covered.

We live in a nation which has accepted marketing terminology (AKA LYING) as an alternative way of speaking, especially when it comes to politics.

And we do it too. The Doomsday Society is HUGE on it. If

[MadMaddie]

36. That is a great simple visual!

This is the kind of thing that needs to get pushed out there.

[BrklynLiberal]

37. Great visual.
