I just noticed that the outside pistons are longer than the inner ones...

I put a lot of duct tape on mine.

But I still want Rat 7.

thanks!

initial loading it's still important (for me at least). Big homepages remind me of MS Live search engine that had a 500k homepage and that search engine lost the race.

Also, not only dialup is slow. Broadband but shitty internet connection is also slow. Free internet is slow (airports etc). In developing countries it is slow. In Africa it is slow.

I was thinking that maybe it would be possible a lite version.

Good to know that they will remove support for old browsers.

can they produce a 1k jQuery?

"3.3Khz was the accepted frequency that telephone calls are going to run"

The bandwidth was not "accepted". It was set by the engineers that design the first analog telephone systems. It is a compromise between the need to have very small bandwidth per channel (so you can multiplex a lot of channels, and send them on the expensive long-distance cable) and the need to understand what the other person is saying and also, very important, to recognize who that person is (large bandwidth is better). They made some tests and this is how they found the sweet spot.

it not like that at all. If you play fair then Google will send all the traffic to the ones that build links artificially. If you want to survive you have to do the same. You are forced to.
Competition has a very good site, let's say 100 links for good + some artificially created.
You have a very good site, 100 links also. Where will Google send the traffic?

The problem is that an algorithm can not really rank the content of a web page.

communists where atheists, they destroyed a lot of churches in Romania. Also there was a law that prohibited woman to have an abortion because they wanted to have more people. More people = more workforce. The workforce was paid with money but because you couldn't buy anything (food = scarce, car = maybe one in a lifetime, flat = never, just rent) or leave the country that meant they paid people with plain paper. And so on...

it's the other way around. High frequency waves travel very little, low frequency waves travel very far at the same power level.

it can work for you but I found that it is not really made for very large shops. The kind of items that you sell doesn't matter.
Just consider this:
- you can import products in bulk but you can't export them
- you can't edit products in bulk: ex. increase all the prices by 5$, or select 10-20 products and edit them in one page. All the time you have to edit product by product unless you install some extension for bulk editing
- if you decide to "regenerate thumbnails" while having thousands of products it will take very long and the hosting will stop the regeneration after 30s or so. PrestaShop has no means to -continue- the regeneration.

walkie-talkie communication: you need two walkie-talkies.
cell phone communication: you need four walkie-talkies; your phone is equivalent with two walkie-talkies.

"if the author didn't misrepresent basic facts he'd need to do actual work which is hard"

Basic fact: I can't select my country. Another basic fact: none of the smart people from this forum, including you, can't come up with a plausible reason for this.

There's tons of other ones including local business contracts, lack of local knowledge and so on.

no contacts or local knowledge for... China?

The reality is that Apple and for example Google are big (almost global) companies, but they are having problems trying to keep up with the Internet.
