From the page style:

    textarea {
       font-family: monaco, courier, monospace;
       width: 500px;
       ...
    }

Web designing mistake, wrong choice of units. Depending on user's choice of font width, text will wrap inside the text area and not produce the expected result. 'width: 40em' would be a lot more sensible and produce the expected results.

This needs to be at the top of Hacker News.

It's cute, but why do people buy domains for things like this?

[th → dstein]

Appeal. textaligncentaur.com is more likely to get clicks from Hacker News or Reddit than camerondaigle.com.

If you mean why spend the money... I'd say $10 is worth it for the number of people that will probably click through to his own site.

If your karma is under 100, you should be unable to post links. This is just further evidence.

Pretentious, much? If you don't like it, flag it and move on.

And what if that fails to fix the problem?
