Using split to prevent the browser from resizing an image
Someone asked me if YubNub can be used to prevent the browser from resizing a large image to fit the window, such as http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/Katmo/Graphcopy.jpg?t=1243143459.
It turns out that the split command can do this: split http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/Katmo/Graphcopy.jpg?t=1243143459 will display the image at its original size. This works in IE7 and Chrome, but not Firefox 3.

Good to know. Admittedly I haven't used the other browsers in awhile and prefer how Firefox forces an image to fit. When you can't make out what's in the picture, though, a mouse click zooms you all the way in. Sometimes I use the "Ctrl +/-" shortcut to zoom in or out gradually too.
If you do not like Firefox automatically resizing images to fit the window, then this option can be disabled. Simply:
1> Type 'about:config' in the address bar
2> Search for the option 'browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing', and change its value to 'false'.
