Not only up, but my response time browsing python.org is dramatically faster going to the Netherlands than to CNRI down the street. Downloads are much zippier too. Sweet.

Is the Netherlands spinward or anti-spinward from your location with respect to the earth's rotation? I think you are 'down spin' . How about from CNRI ? That might explain it: less friction on the electrons flowing spinward.

Waiting for my Nobel Prize!
