Now, I'm deathly afraid of common brown snakes, taipans, salties,
kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, red dirt, drought and gum trees. I do know
"Waltzing Matilda" by heart. Will Qantas allow me a shovel as a carry-on?

Of course, anywhere there is grass we put lambs to grow -
there is just so many of them!

How deep do you plant them?

 

[Bill Clark]

the trench needs to me a minimum of 1.5m deep x .5m wide and pass the
phone company inspection. the friendly phone company would do it for
only $11.5k

Then just send me a cruise ship ticket for my backhoe... Operator
included...

You are talking about hits, I am talking about bandwidth, if your client
sent it's requests in a bunch then bandwidth is the determining factor
not request-response RTT.

Of course, it can't send all the requests at once though. For instance, it
won't know which style sheets to download until it's already recieved the
HTML page, nor which images. And CSS background images and @imported
styles sheets will have to wait some more.

I noticed that Message-ID:

1.5 metres? Just for a duct? They don't bury them that deep round
here, I'm sure.

its below the root structure of most trees. e.g huge gum trees only go
down about .5m. probably why they fall over a lot when it rains.

You are talking about hits, I am talking about bandwidth, if your client
sent it's requests in a bunch then bandwidth is the determining factor
not request-response RTT.

If you are referring to HTTP 1.1 persistent connections and pipelining,
then it would be better to use the terminology of RFC2616 so that we all
know what we are talking about.

Using pipelining does eliminate much of the latency effect, but you
still have the header overhead for each separate piece. A site delivered
in many fragments will require more downloaded data to deliver the
content than it would in fewer fragments. It also requires more HTML to
refer to many image fragments than to refer to one, so there is more
content to download for the same visual effect.

not request-response RTT.

So how many http requests should a browser send at once?

Certainly it's not very friendly to send 100 at a time.

RFC 2616 says: A single-user client SHOULD NOT maintain more than 2
connections with any server or proxy.

How deep do you plant them?

Depends on how high the grass

 

[Mak]

And the point is . . . . ?

Bugadifino.

 

[Mark Parnell]

And the point is . . . . ?

The majority of the target market will have dial up.

 

[kchayka]

the ONE issue I have with the site, the
text size is too small for many MANY users

This is the case with just about every other Flash site on the web, too.
If Macromedia put decent zoom functionality into the Flash player, it
wouldn't be so bad, but as it stands, most Flash sites are unreadable
for me. Thus, they are in fact inaccessible.

 

[Charlie]

depends how one defines 'rich'

wealth isn't (currently) a major factor in defining broadband usage.

Sorry, but this statement reminded me of a comedian I saw on the tv a few
days ago. The difference between "rich" and "wealthy" is that anyone can get
rich, but very few can be wealthy. Shaq (American basketball superstar) is
rich - the man who pays him is wealthy.

You missed games. Consider that all consoles are broadband enabled
now, and all the 3rd gen console are coming out this Christmas, all
bundled with broadband...

You may wish to not bother considering this, since it's not true.

This is what it looks like when you filter flash:

Nothing there...

That's what it looks like using Oregano - totally blank page.


Sorry - late in!!
