Any idea on when I might see a response on this?  I think this is important
because if you look through all the bugs reported in various forums, where
myspace does not work etc, I have a feeling, it is as a result of this.  It is
the one site that has so much going on (no, I do not even have an account), and
despite my hatred for it, it shows why all Mac users complain that they can
never load a myspace page, and all windows users say it works just fine.

Now i know better, even today, I hit two sites, that would not load, came to me
from reddit.com, I watched the activity window, and sure enough, a dead .js
host referenced in the head.  I used `curl` to fetch the article, and was able
to at least read the text.
