    I, for one, sure hope the Supremes take the case, and do so quickly.

    No shit. The sooner the better. I have it on good authority that Dianna Ross despises Bill Gates.

    That site is a START. Let me just say, though, that any web host ranking site that lists Superb Internet as among the top 25 is suspect.

    Actually, I think all those web host lists are deceptive. And largely sponsored by the very hosts on thier lists.

    As a former Superb customer of 18 months, I can flat out tell you that the only thing they are "superb" in is sucking. Stay away from Superb.

    When I implemented my own HTTP server in java, I set it up to *always* send HTTP 200's even when there's an error, so the user always sees the custom message, instaid the IE blather.

    Can I do this with Apache? I mean, without rebuilding it? I'm not that competent at the UNIX command line, but I'd like to be able to do that on my remotely hosted web sites.

    Your machine crashes half-way thru viewing. Must you buy a new liscence? What if you get disconnected? When you dial back up and re-run the liscence their servers would say you already used your activation.

    Somewhere out there, there is a Microsoft developer thinking "Nah. We'll just code the SQL so that each download is a transaction. With a long time-out parameter. Yeah, that's the ticket! Lessee, 30,000,000 AOL users at 56K dropping carrier an average of 6.8 times per download... <shrug> should work! We'll use ASP on IIS!"

    your seemingly "helpful" mirror doesn't seem to work for some bizarre, incomprehensible reason

    But that was he funniest part, it was a very subtle slam on Windoze and IE5, but you'd have to be running them to get it. One of the innovations in IE5 was to shield us lusers from those ugly, disgusting and confusing server error pages. IE5 pops up a standard one size fits all error page with lots of reassuring sounding text, and does this pretty much no matter what it encounters, including no response at all. So when I clicked on the localhost "mirror", I saw exactly what IE5 users see when a site is slashdotted! I cracked up!

    consumer pods

    I think its time they began hearing en masse from some of us pods. They have a cleverly obscure web form for contact. Heres the two cents I sent:

    For a year or more I have been noting your bad behavior on the internet. You sue at the drop of a hat for some pretty nebulous reasons. I've read all about the employee with the carpal tunnel problems you harrassed. This morning I read about your DSSAgent spyware being included in childrens CD-ROMS. My children are grown, however, as one who is about to become a grandparent in plural, I wanted to let you know that until I see some evidence of a reformed, forward-thinking attitude with regard to the internet (on which, I might point out, your company is a GUEST, rather than an OWNER OF) no grandchild of mine will receive Mattel products. I have five brothers, all with children and grandchildren, and will be emailing them as well as posting to the family website my strong recommendation that they boycott Mattel and the reasons why. I see your attitude even boils down to the level of this "e-mail form", which displays such a tiny amount of the message body that it is very difficult to compose/edit a message here.
