pinging 127.0.0.1

i get the following when i ping 127.0.0.1

PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.061 ms

64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=7 ttl=64 time=0.037 ms

dude.... 0.037 milliseconds is probably the time it takes to start and stop the counter....

seriously though, there's still a "device" it has to go through...

Would you like the Microsoft way of fooling users?
