Aaaiiieeee... please, please, PLEASE don't post long URLs in comments! This distorted the display and I had to scroll left and right when reading each line of the article and other comments. Not too much fun!

If you must post long urls, you can run them through http://tinyurl.com/ and paste the resulting short URL in the comment. Or, and I *think* LWN allows this, just put them in standard HTML "a href" notation.

Thanks!

are you using a 640x480 screen or something? <:-) It doesn't seem unreasonably wide to me, but your suggestion is noted. thanks.

(OT) Width

I use big fonts to browse, and I suffer from the same problem. Big URIs or other
stuff without spaces gets horizontally bigger than my 1152x896 screen.

I browse in a WINDOW!

I *HATE* full-screen mode!

The whole point of html is that the USER should be able to CHOOSE how stuff displays. So long urls that won't wrap and screw up the display show total disregard for the principles behind html.

Cheers,
