Why not?

You have a page with a piece of JavaScript on it. Every 30 seconds it pings back "What's the status of request 12345678?" and updates a div.

If Domino's can display "your order has been handed to Steve for delivery", then a taxi service can say "Tom is stuck on the 405."

You mean the same Javascript that gets paused when you go to another tab?
I agree, it was a double negative.
