Sorry, I hate it (and most people in places where Internet access costs $$$
and/or is slow will too). I can't just fire up a connection to the other
side of the world each time the compiler thinks I've written something
wrong. Can't expect people where a big machine is a 386 or 486 to lug
around a webserver for seeing error messages either.
