126277 2003-03-10 01:37:00 I know that at a few times there were around 7 people working on those login issues, Trying to figure out what it was..

7x wages, plus data costs... Dude, It mounts up to a LOT!

My Qwik Chat can do very minimal.. I have hosted it on a 2400kbps (That's right, 1/10th a 28K modem) connection, and it was fine with two in the chat, not lag etc.

Now, MSN on the other hand uses a good whack each time a message is sent, there's the overhead of font color, italics, bold, font face, name, and whether the user at the other end is typing or not..

I can send a meg with one chat in several minutes for MSN.. and its a chat prog.. supposedly low bandwidth stuff....

A 50K image... 2x per page... I visit at least 50 pages per time... there can be around 50 Id estimate at times... (Major guess there.. nothing solid..) and that's just the ads! I visit mroe than once a day... dude, this is a pretty major thing, and they're offering it for free!

For that, I am very grateful!

Thankyou to IDG for such and excellent service at such an invaluable price.

Holy hell, I just added 127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net to my C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc file, and bang, it's PF1 without ads :D

Is there one of these for Linux ?:|:D

126286 2003-03-11 00:49:00 Also using 0.0.0.0 can be a tad faster though some programs may spit up errors at it. -=JM=- (16)
