hmmm. It wasn't that way when I was using it a few years ago. Hmmm, I take it back. 
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Wow, I've seem big headers on web pages before but that's gone beyond a joke. Even on my Portrait mode, 1080x1920 monitor I have to scroll a whole darn screen to begin reading the article, all because some ejit thought I'd like to see part of a blue elephant (I suspect its cropped - can't be bothered to move it to another monitor to check) and a tiny picture of the author.
Truly awful design.

They're channeling (possibly using, can't check from work) Bootstrap[^]; a web framework designed by scroll wheel vendors, RSI doctors, and metered internet providers to boost their revenue levels by requiring enormous amounts of scrolling to find any content.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Using, no - just checked myself. Channeling, definitely.
That header graphic + Title text takes up exactly one full-screen maximized browser's worth of real estate on a 1920x1080 monitor.

It takes up one full screen on any monitor. At home it does on both my 2560x1600 and 1200x1600 screens; the latter just gets a heavily width cropped version. I didn't look closely enough to see if I was getting a ~1500px tall image, or if a smaller one was being stretched.
Giant screens of graphical crap with only a few words of text are the standard bootstrap blight, which was why I suspected it was committing the same crime. Bootstrap's like powerpoint only without the ability to quickly and easily jump cleanly between slides.

To be fair to bootstrap, everything we've been discussing here is really the bootstrap "Hero Unit" component. I've used bootstrap on a half dozen internal web sites now, and have not once used the Hero Unit. I do like the navbar, tables, and tab containers, though.

Windows 9, often referred to as Threshold, isn’t too far away. There is talk of a beta late this year, and of a release in the first half of 2015, though those estimates I would hold as at least mildly optimistic. "Adios, au revoir, auf wiedersehen. Good Night!"
...and a sincere apology to anyone who actually gets that, as I'm sure you won't be getting it out of your head anytime soon.

We was really lucky with our customers on this one - we was able to convince them to stay with Windows 7. So we closed all our Windows 8 virtual machines we used to test and went foe an ice-cream

I think most of have know what's been going on for a long time.
A similar thing happened with the Walmart ideology;
Walmart moves in and destroys the communities economic structure making everyone poor so the only place they can afford to shop is Walmart.
Walmart gets richer and the community gets poorer.
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?

What you say makes sense (and is broadly true). Then why didn't he say that? Getting me all mathematically confusticated and all. Bad crazy man! Bad!
