That's good, you have no business knowing my screen resolution, browser language nor lot of other information. You just feel entitled to have them, for some unfathomable reason.

Just prepare your web{site,app} and have the webserver serve it to my browser. If it is too large for my screen, my browser has these newfangled things called scrollbars to deal with it, and I will see that my screen is too small to comfortably view content you graciously share with me.

I couldn't agree more. Why can't web developers produce websites that just serve clean standards compliant html+css(+/-javascript where really need -- no highjacking scrolling is not a good use for javascript) and trust my browser to display it how I like it?
