I figured with a description like "I look forward to our AC overlord employing this.", that your retarded troll ass was full of shit.

Hurp durp, it is a new technique. I am sure AC could do something with this idea.

Have you got something against AC? Is it because he is more popular than you?

I never said I had anything against AC.

You think it is fairly cool? I thought it was quite clever.

That only affects the very last hop or two, in the route. Everything else is quite consistent and ping times typically only vary significantly during network outages/issues.

EDIT: fuck yes, coffee.

Yeah, it occurred to me after I hit post that they wouldn't actually need to ping the user's box. I need at least a few more cups of coffee before the brain starts working properly.
