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?

LAN networking was the point of ethernet at the time. Since the only real way to access the internet for home users was dialup, the computers sold then rarely had NICs. I doubt that anyone still makes drivers for a Win95, much less hardware that fits a motherboard that old.

This makes me think of a new vaporware I'm going to work on for ten minutes and forget about. How about a BBS that you have to dial in to, but that's hosted over the various free VoIP things like Jewgle Voice or Skype?
