Web sites

Is it just me or are people designing web sites have no idea what they were doing when they design the page or wrote those JavaScript?

In general there are two types of sites that i absolutely loathe. First, sites that only display content in like, half of the available space. You see this huge white (or some other background color) vertical band on the left (or right) side of the screen, and yet the text is either too small or the sentence is breaking a new line every 3 words. I think CNN used to be like this, and still is on the sub-pages. However, at least their main page is much better now.

The other more annoying pages I've encountered are those that resize your browser for you. While I understand that the page looks the best when the screen resolution is, like 1024x768 or 1200x960, unless you can detect my native screen resolution (currently at 1920x1200) and determines that you need to resize it - although to be honest, I prefer you NOT to touch my browser window size at all, NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER resize my browser window!!!!! Nothing is more annoying then seeing that after my browser window is resized, the majority of the screen is white and the content only occupies a tiny bit of the screen.

Rant over!
