my DSL connection sucks

The network seems to be losing packets. I often have to issue requests for
a web page twice, because nothing happens the first time. For downloads of
very large files, I actually have to run a concurrent network access (e.g.,
run "ping" of some remote IP address once a second for as long as the
download is expected to take) in order for the download to complete.

that... I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American
pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the
Americans know it." - Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, October 3, 2001
