As in my further woes (see recent reply in thread), at issue is the
adequacy of the data in describing the phenomena In this case, users cannot
simultaneously click a mouse on more than one thing -- though it's not
impossible to identify ways that http GETs can occur concurrently on one
machine under one user's context. At any rate, it should be obvious that
minute precision for web browsing event recording is insanely coarse. But I
doubt anyone planned for local Internet History to be used for purposes I'm
stretching it to. A proxy server is a choke-point that allows for more
precise dating, because it's an ideal platform for doing so. A Microsoft
DLL is not necessarily designed to meet needs its coders never had in mind,
alas.
Dang, if they'd only gone to second precision. I'd be content with that, I
swear! ;-)
