It's like lightning covered in astroglide.

it's KY for your browser
- brains0
ahah. you should get some sort of reward for that one.
anyone running firefox would be retarded to miss this !
it's almost as important as the monkey thread !
- cloned0
i knew this but missed the monkey thread
- abizzyman0
if I don't do it in the morning... bump this so everyone can have smiles of gleeming joy.
- brains0
will do. I have so much shit to do tommorrow. the mile long list only grows.
cloned.. you didn't seriously miss the monkey thread.
maybe I'll bump that too.

That was rubbish.
It fucked firefox, and I had to undo it all and reboot to get my internet back... :/

uh oh. sean getti... ah nevermind. I've got some booze somewhere.

why it's not such a good idea.
"Yes, enabling HTTP pipelining can dramatically improve networking performance. The downside, and the reason it's not enabled by default, is that it can prevent Web pages from displaying correctly. If you've enabled this, and you find pages that aren't displaying correctly, please don't blame Firefox or the Web developer. It's probably the fact that you enabled an "unsupported" feature which is incompatible with some Web servers and proxy servers. "

Sounds about right. Our servers have a max connection, and I'm fairly sure MT would too... It didn't even begin to load NT.., or any sites with frames.
- brains0
details, you guys windows or mac ? I haven't had one problem. NT loads fine. just really fast. any site with frames works fine too.. more details ?
- rabattski0
haha, this type of hack reminds me of a fridge magnet i got which says: drink coffee. do stupid things faster with more energy.
- mevsthem0
ahh fack that warning don't sond good. no troubles yet though...
- rabattski0
i think you'd be fine but just keep it in the back of yer head before you go like, whoah, that site's broke! me clients site is kaputt! alarm! alarm! :)
