Let's reinvent the fucking scrollbar, which every goddamn platform with a UI already has, and make it behave subtly different from the native one!

Right-click a native scrollbar in some other app:
- Scroll Here
- Top
- Bottom
- Page Up
- Page Down
- Scroll Up
- Scroll Down

Right-click a scrollbar in Chrome:
- Back
- Forward
- Reload
- Save As...
...

Right-click a scrollbar in Firefox and Opera:
Absolutely fucking nothing happens!

What the fuck!? How did these terminally retarded idiots get involved in creating one of the most important pieces of software to the average user?

There's too much fragmentation and bloaty stuff in the *nix world for UIs, you can just use WINE instead.

I can't see anything wrong with it from a quick glance, but that's not to say it's bad or good --- just that I don't really have the time at the moment to understand it. However, from how it closes tags, it's probably not HTML5-compliant.

Do you know British English? I think you'd like it more than English.

Idiotic use of memory has nothing to do with "portability".
