you wanna see if it affects your computer, go to the two pages i linked to...its not that hard to click a link


I was trying to be a jackass with a smile. Of course I opened those pages, and experienced nothing. I opened a dozen copies of those pages before my browser started lagging, slightly each time I went to open another, I opened thirty copies before it started taking a few seconds to start the animation. And I opened one hundred copied before I got bored of clicking a link, so I decided to play wow for a few minutes to help stress test my system.

The point of my story is a plea. "Please do not be so angry over people with better hardware forgetting not everyone experiences the internet the same way. We don't all remember that a 2mb picture can take minutes to load for those on dialup, and those that do, sometimes forget that 1000 15kb animations do not act the same as one 15mb animation. "

No, but you didn't need to be that mean to them.

Its harder to pass something off as a joke if its not funny.

That is a totally huge quote which fills me with no small sense of awe. I am so glad I could replicate it just one more time for everybody's benefit, because otherwise how could they ever have understood what I was commenting on?

Although, to stay on topic, I would just like to say that I think quote-whoring is far more detrimental to the forums than thread-jacking, because it is less funny, but equally frustrating to the purpose of the OP.
