Handy add-on to swfobject that allows the developer to specify a minimum width & height for a full-browser flash movie:http://blog.pixelbreaker.com/flash/swfforcesize/
"scrollbars are added to the browser window if the user has sized it under the specified width or height."

I, like many of you, have been developing RIAs since before they were called that, yet only in the past few years, have I stopped to try to understand computers. I do not have a degree in Compsci, but I have realized recently why it is in my best interestes to pursue one. Everything I know about programming I have taught myself.
As programmers, we often forget-or don't know yet know-about the way computers interpret our commands, instead focusing on the tasks we need to accomplish. Indeed, our day is filled with adding more and more code to fix bugs or create new content in a program already bulging at the seams.
I suggest that as programmers it is really our duty to make the program as efficient as possible; a lean, mean fighting machine! As I being to attend classes, I intend to log and comment on my experiences, and how it is affecting the way I program. My first classes begin this fall-Precalculus and Java I-so expect to see more from me soon!
