What pisses me off about a site more than anything is when it loads Java for no apparent reason, on the front page.

I'm on a fast connection (University Ether), with a reasonably fast machine (G3/400), and I still gotta sit there watching the spinning beachball while Java loads.

There oughtta be a law: no loading Java without first telling me why it's loading and letting me opt out.
