I'm really tired of reading webpages that look like this.

Please dont waste THAT much space when designing your pages.

Haha, gotta love those news sites that give 500px of their 800x600 layout to their ads and

I personally prefer narrow-width articles, but that's a bit too much.

Just copy and paste into Word or Notepad or something.

Edit - Perhaps you might wanna write something in Perl to automate that process. :p :)
