Yeah Justin, you can do it!
Man, that stream loading patent just redlined my Outrage-O-Meter. Notice how the claims are structured that way for no other reason than to be as ridiculously broad as possible. What a joke!

God almighty, I'm delighted to hear it Justin, it can be done! Once you get past three or four days the chemical pangs end and every after that is psychological.

Regarding: IBM patents web transcoding proxies I use wwwoffle every day, and it rewrites lustily, showing me what's cached and blocking ads. Beta version 0.9 of WWWOFFLE released Sat Jan 11 1997 http://www.gedanken.demon.co.uk/wwwoffle/ |

I'm absolutely mystified by this from the 'caught sight of' link:
"Visiting San Francisco for the first time in 2001, it all snapped into place. Here was a city cross-hatched by freeways that each felt just a little too dangerous to walk under. Coupled with a lack of decent public transportation, it meant there were loads of communities slightly too small to support really big stores or specialist shops."
I don't know what city the writer is talking about, but San Francisco it most certainly is not. It's just way off.

ben, yeah. all I can think is that he's conflating the Bay Area in general.
it is a little odd, but if you drop the reference to SF and think of the Bay Area (or most of SoCal, or indeed most of the rest of the US) it makes sense.

Well, that just raises further problems -- difficulties in walking or taking public transit to the shops aren't a signficiant barrier to petfood procurement in most of the US: the ubiquity of the automobile, and a built environment which caters to it, makes sure of that. The problem is that web-ordering and delivery of dogfood, in the Bay Area or anywhere else, doesn't make sense *AT ALL* and was never intended to -- the Pets.com type of model was about entrepeneurs and VCs taking advantage of a climate that was uniquely suited for screwing lots of money out of gullible investors. I think he's got a theory in search of a problem, really.
