Just out of curiousity I decided to trace how many hops I go through to get to the ttlg. I hop though 30 different spots to get here and all with no packet loss and only 250ms delay ... now if only I could travel that fast ...weeeeeee.

In your windows apps is one called TRACERT (spelling?) that you can run from the COMMAND line. It tells you how many different servers you go through to get to a Site.
So in this case 30 different locations with a time lag of 250 milliseconds.
From Vipercat's computer to the first node, then 28 more to end up at TTLG.
Like taking a bus and transferring 29 times to get to your destination.

CUZ IT'S AWESOME!
I was able to get to 18 nodes with just a 53ms loss before it started timing out on me.

All the hops is because the server belongs to a goddamn LIMEY!
Just as I was formulating this post, I was typing something in an IM window and I typed "warriours." Stop polluting my mind, you enemies of Freedom!
GOD BLESS AMERICA

Hey, it's more interesting than, say, people arguing about abortion. ;)

Okay. I had an idea it was something to do with nodes, servers and the like, although the jargon didn't help.
It's sadly, not "Jargon", no more so than some specific terms used in any business. In this case each term (hops, Milliseconds, etc.) has a specific meaning that explains exactly what occured.
So, you can always ask, as you did, for a translation if you don't get it. Optometrists use terms like "angle of refraction", "visual accuity" to describe specific ideas. Like any specialist field, most have thier own language, and a "specialist" can't always speak in layman's terms.
A subcutaneous hematoma associated with a depressed cranial fracture, and a "bruise on the back of the head with an associated soft spot" (in laymans terms) are not always the exact same thing. Although to "us" it may seem so. :)
