But just because you hate them, doesn't give you the right to go sue
Normally true, but in this case the point is that AOL is charging for every second you spend online, and effectively forcing subscribers to spend that time viewing ads they don't want.
Sounds like they've got a pretty good case to me (although IANAL).
So "THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE" between an extra 10 second delay while my webform gets submitted, and spending half my morning queuing in some grotty govt. office? I don't think so.
Regarding the "lower transparency" of online govt., how is there more transparency in submitting a paper form to some nameless clerk who goes away and does something with it where I can't see them, compared to submitting a webform to a server that then does some processing on it where I also can't see it?

Or perhaps we just don't care who knows about it - let's face it, unless it's going to get back to my colleagues, who might be on more or less, I couldn't care less who knows how much I'm on.
Unfortunately, all of my colleagues read/. so I'd better keep my mouth shut!
I'm sure I remember hearing about someone doing exactly that (yelling "format cee colon backslash return") just before a demo of some voice recognition software -- wish I could remember whose it was -- anyway, according to the story, it worked! Probably boll*cks, but a good story anwyway.

I've used Jmeter - great tool.
FYI, it also does the http proxy recording thing now.

and like AMD they will be crushed by Intel - if not now, in the near future
AMD getting crushed by Intel? Evidence please - AFAICT they're going great guns. And my Athlon 700MHz agrees with me.
