Via Robot Wisdom comes this Gamasutra article about coding network gaming. It suffers because the author isn't terribly knowledgeable about networking issues and terminology, but it is a good reminder that simply opening up a socket stream and sending data is not an acceptable solution to real time issues. Especially under Windows where the socket layer sucks solar systems through surgical tubing.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
