    Insane website

    I went for an interview with this company but I'm not sure I could work someone that is so prepared to sacrifice usuability for something that just looks insane.

    What does everyone think, do you like the site?

    NO. It uses Java, therefore it is bad. The Java VM is the only program I have ever found that finds it hard comprehend the concept of coexistence with a graphics driver. Hence, my screen goes blurry whenever Java is invoked.

    You'll find one if the applet doesn't work (though don't know how it looks with Applet working; doesn't work on my machine).

    I enjoy the fading colors. But after a few seconds it gets boring. I can't find orange, yellow and green.

    Break out from your mental box.
    I found better company. Iced chocolate with coffee jelly, anyone?

    It's much easier on the eyes if you just disable javascript.

    Linux laughs at that site. It sneers derisively too.

    Re: Insane website

    Thank you for the picture, FishGuy. I couldn't get it open to appreciate how bad the site was... I thought we were talking about the "accessible" version where the column headers have a background of hot pink... That is not the worst site I've ever seen, but it sure hurts the eyes to look at it (literally... who the hell designs a site with hot pick as a background colour anywhere?)

    Take the job and then show them how their site needs be redone. I closed that site very quickly because it is completly unreadable.
