Whose house is of glasse, must not throw stones at another. « jg's Ramblings
We’re all frogs in heating water; the water has been getting hotter gradually as the buffers grow in subsequent generations of hardware, and memory has become cheaper. We’ve been forgetting what the Internet *should* feel like for interactive applications. Us old guy’s memory is fading of how well the Internet worked in the days when links were 64Kb, fractional T1 or T1 speeds.
