Putting such code on public pages would be most unpopular. My experience is that, for various reasons, a few hours web browsing can result in browsers being closed with the final page in an unwanted position. I am surprised that browsers don't come with a control to at least start the day with user defined window size and position. There has been considerable recent interest in bookmarklets and JS in home page links (does not work for WebKit) to achieve this. My page attempts to provide a simple cross browser/platform solution.
[robg adds: I tried this via the author's page, and it worked as described. Note that, after reading some of the comments indicating some confusion about this hint, Neville sent me some additional clarifying text, which I have now included in the hint itself.]
