      What a lame attempt for a "+5, Funny".

      It's called overkill. You are obviously the master at it.

    It should be obvious, but with Microsoft throwing FUD around (if you aren't using AdBlock or such, hit reload on the /. homepage & eventually you'll see some), the suits who actually make the decisions may not see it, despite how obvious it is to you & me.

    I use AOL 9 at home (UK) on 1mb broadband.. I have been using them for just under 12 months - and as soon as the 17th December 2004 hits I will be changing to another ISP - whilst I have found the connection ok - the customer support is appaling - the length of time on hold is unbearable... and they were not able to tell me why dns goes out the windows every 20 mins on average and the latency on FPS's is unbearable!!... also that browser drives me nuts! (I use firefox with the AOL browser minimised) - I am ready for all your anti AOL slagging - although I bet there are loads of AOL slashdot users...
