Java and images on the front page slow Mark down

Mark is on a slow connection. Please, help Mark by posting cute java applets inside the comments instead of on the front page, so that Metafilter doesn't take Mark's computer two minutes to load.

Eric can't help but notice that Mark talks about Mark in 3rd person :0)

Seriously, of course if it's okay with lagado, maybe Matt can squeeze in a few seconds and move it inside the page, and stem all the complaints.

I find our interpretations of that Rorchack an interesting topic in itself!

Eric wonders what Mark thinks.... :0)

I think it's a good idea, now that the evil Roschach isn't melting my brain. It's sure a pretty applet.

I noticed that someone else just requested java and images be unpostable on the home page, which is probably a good idea.
