ISP Information:
A condition caused by network congestion. When more traffic is flowing than a network or connection can handle, it causes programs waiting to send or receive data over the network to slow down, or lag. This term is often used to describe a slowdown while playing games online, especially over dial-up modems or any connection with high latency.

Lag - WASHINGTON - The first step of Howard Stern's call to action againstthe FCC crackdown on indecency is underway - the FCC today confirmedthat they have received a number of complaints against the OprahWinfrey Show for an episode that defined a number of sexual termspopular among teenage girls.After Infinity Broadcasting was fined earlier this month for a Sternshow that aired in 2001, Stern became furious when an episode of Oprahwas rerun last week that contained terms comparable to the terms thatled to Stern's fine and requested that fans complain about Oprah tothe FCC.http://www.avn.com/index.php?Primary_Navigation=Articles&Action=View_Article&Content_ID=78201[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: I always did thing Oprah always triedto act so goody-goody; once she claimed that 'my guests are nothinglike the ones Jerry Springer has on his show; mine are so much better.'Fact is, many of her guests are a bit more sophisticated (many timesSpringer's guests are downright ignorant and crude) but her guestsdo not act out right there on the stage (as Springer's do) but theyare not any better, IMO, than the people about whom *she* complains.
