An example of good money spent for a bad web site

Good lordy! Every single image is resized by HTML only, which means
that the full sized images are loaded on the front page. I counted
close to 15 MB while it was loading.

I see someone need to learn how to resize images in an image editor,
and not just by HTML.

Then again, I've seen some bozo load a 3 MB GIF animation of New York
in their website (can't remember which one, but I did leave the GIF
animation URL in the "Transfers" tab of Opera, just to re-download when
I felt like stealing some more bandwidth transfer from the nuthead;
some people need to learn the hard way).

I see that the DanielReillyGlass.com domain name is hosted at Yahoo!.
With a page like that, his allocated transfer amount is bound to run
out pretty early in the month.

How do you know that?

I know how to do it with domains registered in my country (.com.ar),
but not for .com

A basic WHOIS on the domain name shows the following:
Name Server: YNS2.YAHOO.COM
Name Server: YNS1.YAHOO.COM

And a DNS lookup on the website address reveals:
danielreillyglass.com has address 68.142.234.135
Reverse DNS for 68.142.234.135 => premium6.geo.vip.re2.yahoo.com.

Good god in heaven, did you see the source? Ladies and gentlemen say hello
to front page 5.0

Why is so much of the HTML commented out. There are complex table tags
which are just commented out - it doesn't make any sense to me... :/

Those are "conditional comments" - a non-standard Microsoft invention that
means their contents will show in certain programs. <[if IE] is quite
common for giving IE hacks in a seperate CSS script.

I'm more alarmed by all this:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

What does FP put need all these spaces for?
