So I'm troubleshooting a network problem and I ping another host from my
Windows 2000 box, and after about half the packets get dropped, I get this
summary:
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 330ms, Maximum = 701ms, Average = 257ms
Um...huh? Is there some math trick I don't know about to make the average
less than the minimum?

... most SF writers are small blokes; they spent a lot of time grubbing
around on the floor for old SF mags, not stretching up to the top shelf
for pornography . . . As an aside, Douglas Adams is quite tall . . .
