-Web applications typically update data from servers (//eg.// whether, time, streaming media, dollar rates, thread posts). Developers have to overcome the issue of using obsolete data due to a late response of a server. For example, consider a website that shows an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media|streaming media]] using several ajax requests. If responses of ajax requests are retrieved in wrong order, the streaming media cannot be observed correctly. A solution could be to wait for all frames, however, this solution could delay to much the streaming media. A better solution is to discard the late frames (//a.k.a// frame skip) to show the streaming media. The **DiscardLate** strategy discards the late responses of ajax requests (obsolete responses). As an example, we present below a streaming media about a fight (the streaming media is finite by simplicity). This example shows the effects that reproduce in a streaming media when frames are retrieved in a random order.

 When the "activate order" button is clicked, the streaming media is shown in the correct flow. When the "deactivate order" button is clicked, the streaming media is shown a random flow. **NOTE:** Please first watch the application without clicking the "activate order" button to appreciate clearly the aforementioned issue.
