Information visualization - display 6 related ranges on a single chart Well, options 1,3 & 4 actually harm the main requirement - to quickly assess the overall amount. In the case of 4 it can be ok when the first measure exceeds expectations (then the two bars seem continuous), but that's uncommon - and in any case it doesn't offer a way to assess "overall expectations". I think that the most promising solution is #2. |

Information visualization - display 6 related ranges on a single chart Thanks Roger! It's a good direction but here's what bothers me about it: Let's say that the external bar is the expected amount and the internal bar is the actual amount. I can divide each bar in two, and get the breakdowns. But the 2nd half of the internal bar will only align to the 2nd half of the external bar once the 1 half of the internal is "full" - and until that point it's difficult to compare the two. I'm playing with the idea of fixing the zero point in the middle and having the two bars grows sideways, but that proves difficult to understand. |

Why don't sandwich toasters have an on/off switch? @Ben Not quite. Your answer says that it's because the cable is the most explicit indicator. This is equally true for all other electrical appliances and yet they all have buttons. Benny's answer explains how a toaster is different from other appliances and provides convincing reasoning for the lack of the button. |

Why don't sandwich toasters have an on/off switch? I haven't encountered one with a button that's meant for home use. The electricity cable is a good indicator for all electrical appliances, but still most of them do have a button :). Why should the toaster be any different? |

Why do we say we “browse” to a place on the Internet when we actually download a web server’s content to our browser? This may be a question for English Language and Usage, but I really don't think it belongs on this site. An English-specific linguistic question about the internet isn't a UX question. |
