Actually, I disagree with you. My website http://www.sqlhacks.com has
these boxes. I use it a lot. Some of the code snippets are more than
500 char wide. This would mean the text is complete unreadable,
plus I could not use centred...

The scroll is  governed by the style .pre,.code which  you can adjust
to overflow:none and you will be able to lower you blood pressure.
