Humanity has finally done it. Scientists at a base in London are about to open a Wormhole to a far off sector of the galaxy. The implications are enormous, and nothing will ever be the same again.

Counterintuitive as it may sound, the solution to the queues is to limit the rate at which information reaches your computer, directly on your computer.
