Pepper-o-Meter 2005!
By Pepper of the Daily Pepper
UPDATE: Size of file is now greatly reduced! Microsoft Paint is definitely "bell"!
I'm in the mood to spice up the typical end-of-year lists with a chart. In honor of what was hot and what was not in 2005, the Daily Pepper presents a Pepper-o-Meter to reveal what is truly habanero, just jalapeno, or flat-out bell. And, yes, you are supposed to read across for the full effect.
Any other suggestions as to what was spicy and not-so-spicy?

With all due respect, there's really no reason to put up a 300 kilobyte image to achieve that table. Even if you don't want to write up a HTML or CSS table for it, which would be easily done with, say, Microsoft Word, simply switching the file format to GIF would take the size of the image down to 6.8 kilobytes, a 97% size reduction.
I'm on dialup for the holidays. Just sayin'.

I would just like to say this is definitely the funniest end of year list I've seen.

Habenero: Bahamas
Jalapeno: Jamaica
Bell: Aruba
Also, 300 KB is painful for those of us on 256 kbits/s DSL lines, which have a practical maximum of 25-30 kbytes/s and sometimes go slower.

Habenero: Premium High Speed Internet from Cox Communications (6 Mbps downstream)
Jalapeno: DSL Lite from BellSouth
Bell: Net Zero with Bullshit Dialup Accelerator!

Oh, dear. I made it with Paint because I wanted to get the colors right ... lemme see if I can get a fix in. My apologies for not thinking of those who suffer with low-bandwidth.

OK, folks - should be fixed! Sorry about that. I take my high-speed access for granted. Tsk-tsk for me.

Thanks, Pepper. I appreciate it.
