The following article was written by Corey W. deVos (a member of the Integral Institute) and I‘ve reproduced it here to hopefully preserve its message.
In the beginning, there is nothing. There is nothing at all. There are no stars, no moon, no mountains or ocean or sky. There isn’t even nothingness, not even the absence of absence. There is only pure reality—infinite, boundless, and silent. There is only pure unobstructed Awareness.
I have been trying to improve my website optimization score within Yahoo‘s “YSlow” Firebug plug-in and have been struggling with the section regarding GZIP‘ing.
To make things worse there didn‘t seem to be any useful articles on how to do this with just server-side code (such as PHP or ASP.NET etc), the only articles I could find were all related to how to GZIP content by changing settings on the server itself – which is useless if you‘re on a shared hosting platform and even more useless for me as the examples were ALWAYS based on the user having an Apache based web server (my site is hosted on a PHP enabled Windows server!)
