Your explination requires special software running at the contents original source, and it would take too long to find the initial connection. That's not how Akamai works.
I suppose so. I bet it only automatically goes to microsoft.com when it's "checking for browser updates", which can be disabled in the advanced settings.
IE tries the redirect through microsoft.com. If it can't get there in a VERY short amount of time, it will go directly to the homepage. These are just my suspicions. Check your firewall/http proxy logs to verify.
But I suspect there are soon to be ex-fans of Metallica at 11 major American Universities.
Not that it really matters to Metallica. The RIAA is shoving tons of money up Lars' ass, keeping him motivated to fight Napster. He could care less if everyone hates him. The RIAA is going to make him much richer than he was before, whether he loses all of his fans or not.
Windows is way too easy to corrupt with a bad driver, bad hardware, or whatever. Believe me, I've fixed literally hundreds if not thousands of problems over the past few years on the boxen at the school where I work, and a huge percentage of the time, the solution has been "reformat and copy a good hard drive over to this one."
Why are you installing bad drivers and bad hardware? Use some common sense, please.
Oh wait, you work at a school. That explains alot.

Sorry, but these systems are a bit more complicated than your little open source HTTP proxies.

The Linux zealot part of his brain believes it, but the rest of him knows the truth.
Yeah have fun spoofing a TCP connect with your little script.

i hate lawyers.
The college scene definitely has the rest of us beat. We only have a few gigabits to the 'net at my work.
You can get your degree...but you will still be a fuck-up.
Please name a group messaging function that can't be done with Outlook and Exchange (outside of full cross-platform stuff).
Meanwhile, the people who correspond with you think you are a moron, since your computer can't read business-standard attachments.

You have a very narrow viewpoint. I'll name a few apps that compell people to use Windows: Office, Autocad and Internet Explorer.
Why do you always get moded up for saying such stupid things?
You don't know the first thing about high-traffic web serving, do you?
nevermind, I forgot that Linux never crashes. I bet the problem was related to Microsoft.
You got hired because you didn't want to learn something? Must have been a rigourous process. SIGN ME UP!!
Just kidding.
The Tea templating system can be picked up in a few hours. From there, managing a web site becomes extremely fast, simple and reliable.
I'm sure I have enraged all of the Russian Slashdot readers, just because I mocked a building that happened to be in Russia.
Hey that was funny. No....really....everyone's laughing.
Would you ever buy anything that came from a place that looked like this?
Nice thought process, but not economical or managable. For cheaper and faster results, just add a second, third, fourth CPU.
