For the last couple of weeks certain pages have been behaving exactly like this for me (Sadly, I am a comcast customer, there is no other option in my building). Specifically, the ESPN "Scoreboard" pages usually timeout 2 or 3 times before they actually load up. These pages likely generate a lot of AJAX requests for each game on this page, so that would create quite a few TCP connections...
There are more important national things begging for attention, like getting a bridge built to a barely inhabited island in AK.
Just a note on this, as I've seen this comment made a couple of times. The bridge that he wants to build crosses the Knik Arm of Cook Inlet (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q= anchorage&ie=UTF8&ll=61.22333,-149.916&spn=0.06743 2,0.32135&z=12&om=1). It isn't an island on the other side. You are correct that there isn't a whole lot over there at the moment, mostly because it takes 2 hours to drive around to Anchorage. The big push for this bridge is because Anchorage is running out of developable space, and that bridge would open up a huge new area with quick access to downtown. That's not saying I agree with the project, just getting the facts out there.
I have a Core 2 duo running at 2.8ghz and with full Aero my idle CPU usage is 0% to 2%. Moving windows around, minimizing/maximizing maxes CPU usage at 5%. Where did you read this?
In fact, there is a great deal of good things that have come out of Utah, many of which the slashdot crowd uses on a daily basis.

Bigfishgames amended their policies and now offer "unlimited" activations on as many computers as you like.

With soulseek, you can PM anyone on the network, and even create your own chatrooms.
If you're going to use a big word, might as well make sure it's correct. The correct word is Constabulary.
