As I understand it, it's a black box that sits, unbypassed, between the ISP's main router and their main connection to the backbone. If nothing else, I'd like to see the stats on these things... they've got to handle a freaking LOT of I/O. Maybe they're running Linux:-) --

You're absolutely correct. Here's my numbers for June 2000...
Microsoft Internet Explorer Hits: 740,799 51.72% User sessions: 50,682 Netscape Hits: 584,832 40.83% User sessions: 16,521 Other Netscape Compatible Hits: 14,327 1% User sessions: 2,026
MSIE has about 75% of all user sessions, but only 52% of hits. I don't know what accounts for the difference. --
I'll bite and assume you're not really a troll... but I have no idea where you got that idea. It doesn't matter what the word size of your processor is. Software can be written to handle words of arbitrary numbers of bits. How do you think your 4-bit HP-48 can handle those huge numbers?
Wouldn't that make them more of a webapprentice, then, or maybe a webwannabe... too lazy to read the damn instructions. There are two ways to redirect browsers without breaking the back button...
Return a 302 Moved header, easily done in PHP or Perl by printing a Location: header
Use the Javascript function window.replace() instead of window.location() -- this is just as easy as the meta refresh
...hmmm, and powerful electric shocks when you call someone who isn't even tech support with a really stupid question? There's a UI enhancement I could recommend to a few people:-)
Both Win2K and Linux were serving web pages from 4 striped drives. The difference is, NT had one drive for the OS and paging, and two drives for log files, whereas Linux had one drive for OS, paging, *and* log files. Seems to me Win2K had the superior setup.
(And the OS certainly does not have to "search" multiple drives or even multiple sections of one drive for a file. That's ludicrous.)

It certainly does not ignore that. To paraphrase the guy, how can you compare a steel ball to the infinite complexities of human life? There's no relationship:-)
To respond to the people who say "not everyone has SSH," do what I do -- if the machine is also running a web server (likely) put up a page containing a Java applet SSH client implementation. MindTerm Lite is nice and can be used by Netscape 4.6+ or IE 4+, and you'll probably have one of those available anywhere you go.
With M16 under Windows, the Netscape Flash plugin works great -- with one exception, that geturl(javascript:) and do_FSCommand() don't seem to work correctly.
Just copy the nsswf-whatever.dll and the shockwave-whatever.class files to a directory called "plugins" under your mozilla-bin directory.

Good idea... how about:
X-Newspeak: Big Brother is watching you.
... or the like.

Only with absolute-positioned style sheets.
For example:
<div style="position: absolute; left: 100px; top: 100px; z-index: 1;"><img src="top-transparent.gif"></div>
<div style="position: absolute; left: 100px; top: 100px; z-index: 0;"><img src="bottom-opaque.gif"></div>

Here it is... they want to charge you a buck fifty for it though.

Duh. Make that Location.replace()... and note that it's only available in Javascript 1.1

I expect that'd be the 64-bit chip designed to replace the Alpha :-)
