[edit] Random geek quote:

That sounds like exactly the right way Microsoft would do it:

   * With UDP, your packets will almost certainly get there unmangled. But you'll never know.
   * With TCP, your message will be corrupt and interrupted for no apparent reason. Attempts to correct errors will cause your disconnection. When you attempt to        reconnect, the TCP/IP unstack will pretend not to hear. 

(I'm picturing Windows NT jamming a network backbone going "la la la la I can't hear you la la la la la".)

'. '. (_______)____) My name is Mike I am a 22 year old male from Ontario, Canada. I am a computer geek, biology/life sciences major (life sciences = premed). I am also a Red Cross First Responder, same level of medical aid of the paramedics in PEI, and the fire fighters in Ontario. I am certified to administer oxygen, use a KED board, and a bunch of other crazy stuff. I am planning on doing a WEMT course next fall to further my skills. Some of my hobbies are cycling, anything whitewater, computers, soccer, and camping. If you need any help writing anything computer/biology/medical/white water/first aid related drop me a line Id love to help. If anyone would like to nom me for an admin save yourself the trouble, I will never accept a nomination ever. Its a thankless job which frankly I don't want. I want to do what is right, not what is Politki correct, thanks =).
