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?

No way. I couldn't even begin to explain how http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1444460614 works and I wrote it only a month ago. I certainly don't agree that I've gotten worse.

Your problem, Cudder, is that all those hormone replacement drugs have eaten a hole in the part of your brain that lets you do academic circlejerking properly. You spend too much time on long projects like writing that web browser in 6502 assembly or the IDA killer or the SoftICE replacement or whatever and never just program something that popped into your head on a whim. You're a Michelangelo in a world that needs Picassos. Lighten up a bit, light up a blunt, and program something fun.
