Bear in mind: IIS is microsoft technology. And microsoft has a history of ignoring, twisting, or abusing standards. Especially when it benefits them. See J++ for a good example of the twisting/abusing concept. IIS 4 and 5 not supporting pipelining is no reason for it to be pulled from the RFC. Bear in mind: IIS is microsoft technology.

This must have been an informed decision, based on the visitor extensive data they have.

Only if you *know* a significant percentage of your site (or intranet) visitors use IE6 on Window XP pre-SP2 should you consider serving them the uncompressed version of certain files. And yes, do it in a smart way!

I've had the Dash for about 10 months. I don't know how I'm gonna live with it for another 14!!! Like you said, it drained the battery on my nightstand from full at 10pm to nothing at 3am. It woke me up when I heard it playing the power-off jingle. I use it for an alarm clock, so I had to wake up and figure out another alarm. <br><br>I frequently locks up and I have to take the battery out to reboot it. It doesn't even have the courtesy of giving me the blue screen of death. When my contract is up, T-mobile will probably lose me as a customer. I agree with those comments.

After all, if an OS was not really different from any other, why buy Windows 7, or Snow Leopard? Or even why pay money at all, and go with any of the GNU/Linux flavors? Is it artificial? Clearly. But so long as consumers actually think there is an appreciable difference in operating systems, and gear their thinking specifically towards those differences, then the particulars of the software industry will continue to thrive. Once consumers get smart, then things will have to change.

good article, txs.
Question: how do I log *only* the variables (url_effective, …)?
The HTML is thrown into output_raw_1.txt as well, and I don't want that.
I just want the values for url_effective, size_download, etc.

txs,
Aaron
