Thumbnails or resized full images?

Hey all... just a question about best practices. I'm redoing a gallery and wondered if it was a better practice to use a resized thumbnail or the original image with a specified size, such as:
Code: 
<a href="gallery/05115.html"><img src="gallery/images/pt05115-460.jpg"
  style="height:134px;" alt=""/></a>
 
it is absolutely 100% better to use thumbnails than just resizing the original image with width/height tags because if you do that, the user must download the whole big image file for each image on the page, which will take a long time and will waste bandwidth since the user may not want to view the full size version of each picture. also, browsers do a poor job of resizing pictures
 
BINGO! :D

Definitely resize the images. Leaving it to the web browser is a bad idea. No need to make you page/site load any slower than it has too.
