Gave it 5 minutes in bare feet on the cold wet grass on my lawn in suburbia, but had forgotten my coffee inside and gave up. A slight cloud haze is reflecting the light pollution.
Neighbours probably had more fun watching me.
Thanks for the tip, tho!

Per the article, it's already happened:
"One e-tailer that's been bitten is 1-800-Flowers.com. When certain Web surfers visit the site to browse for bouquets, a pop-up ad appears for $10 off at chief rival FTD.com. The same sort of thing happens at AmericanAirlines.com, where a Delta Air Lines promotion is waiting in the wings."

Newbies, Instant Feedback, and Results
I'm the Online Director of the Calgary Herald, and I was involved in the roll-out of DSL in Calgary a few years back just as North America was getting a whiff of it. (Leggo my Ego, I'm just stating I'm in a position to comment on this.)
What are we shooting for with the Web? Where are you applying your talents? The Internet is not an elitest secret. Everyone here knows low ping is inversely related to frags... but what does it MEAN?
Comments have flown along the lines of, "What a waste."
Wow.
Not to be flippant, but, What are you doing here?
Is it not Insanely Great (TM) that we can even have this discourse? Would you bother at 300 bps?
I meant, "Think about what's happening here".
If Mister Alberta Farmer does a cost/benefit analysis of taking the time to look up some Euchre tips on his box (M$, *nix, Orange - whatEVER) and impresses/enlightens everyone at Saturday nite cards...... you know where I'm going. Anyone who's tasted broadband could write a book about it.
Web infrastrucure's value goes deeper than building a road.

Wow. Wondered why the National Post and canada.com were down this a.m..
Now I know.
I'm part of the online newspaper network that's currently enjoying the wonderful interest you folks are expressing in the National Post article.
(Not posting the link to MY newspaper site tho!)
Any hot tips I can pass along to the techies?
I let 'em know... probably slamming IP's shut as we speak.
I'd already suggested the that *nix was the way to go. (Heh-heh.)

Doh! I misread what you said. I read the articles - I just need to read the COMMENTS! Sorry - it is not autoredirection. R.
