The nthw.com foul-up started days upon days of people posting traceroutes, trying different proxies, etc etc etc...

Technology tamed? Pah!

From that definition in Webopaedia, Proxies are meant to speed things up, yet a lot of people posting said proxies were actually slowing them down. Somehow that sounds so ntl.

According to my System Preferences there are no proxies set up on my machine. Why would ntl make some people use them and others not?

And how does a proxy server know that a web page hasn't been updated since it cached it?
