No it couldn't. It means one thing, access to the internet. There aren't different levels of internet access.
You either have it or you don't.

actually that isnt true. there is the "world wide web" which is colloquially referred to as "THE internet" but an internet is merely an external networking of computers outside of your own.

a hand held laser scanner is "connected to the internet" when it updates prices or scans UPCs. I havent heard of anyone meeting a girl through a UPC scanner

Yes, but if you have internet access, generally you have access to any or all public internet servers. A handheld upc scanner would probaly user an intranet or VPN to get its information. You are saying internet access changes via the device used. That is not the case. The Upc scanner would have access to the same sites that any other client would. Doesn't mean that it would use it.

dont change your argument, k thnx.

and no, they arent just intranet. The parent company has to know how much every store sells of what item, for regionalization and shipping purposes.

You have access "generally" only through very specific internet utilities. There are more things that access the internet and cant utilize the WWW than can.

Your statements are too vague. I never said it was just intranet. I said it could be. Yeah, if your scanner thingie doesnt have the capability to use ftp then yeah it has limited internet access, but the definition of internet access is just that, a GENERAL connection to the internet. Period.

Are you serious? 65% of China? That is incredible!

I once met a girl while I was compiling a program

She hax0red the box through an ssh v1 buffer overrun exploit and proceeded to fill my screen with an ascii representation of her bodacious body

Later we met and had wild crazy sex

Sure there are...
I have access the internet by:
going home and turning on my computer...

A Chinese rice farmer living in one of the agricultural areas that fall into the 65% of China quoted, also has potential "access to the internet" by:
Learning what the internet is.
Buying a computer and learning to use it (as well as whatever equipment he might need to take advantage of his "access").
Paying the connection fees.

Or he might simply go to the nearest Internet cafe... but most probably wouldn't bother.

Quite clearly the statement that "most people in the world" meet people via the internet is erroneous.

I really dont think i would meet a person out of a chatroom, it is too easy to create a persona and be less modorated. This forum although a place where people can be who they want to be and get away with saying things they may normally not, i feel has an aspect of honesty through the common ground of trance (please corret me if i am wrong.) Therefore i am more likely to meet people off the forum.

Incidentily Ive met a bunch of ukta's from here, and one of them has turned into my fella I never thought in a million years id meet someone and date them off the internet, but i tell ya what it works

Thanks TA u've made my year

what the fuck does file transfer protocol have to do with anything? lol. hell, I dont have FTP right now.

And being connected to the internet, "generally" still doesnt matter if you have no software to interpret the data being received. You have to either have a GUI type program like IE, Netscab, or Opera or a text based thing like gopher and other linux stuff. Technically, i could be connected to the internet if I crammed an ethernet cable in my ear, but it would do me absolutely no good.

Again, we are talking colloquialisms. "connected" usually means being able to receive and interpret data. A higher connectivity would allow you to transmit data in a form others could interpret in addition to receiving and decoding. Now the aforementioned scanner does both. It can get and send stuff. It is a pretty high tech tool. I think people take the internet for granted just because they can double click on an E and have access to every bit of information on earth in full sound, color, and text.

LITERALLY speaking, connected to the internet could mean a physical connection (the cable in the ear) or mere transmit/receive function. My point of being "connected" would have to mean something different to a person, because if they cannot interact with the data, the PERSON becomes the tool and not the internet. People who do cycle counts are tools. People who check inventory are tools.

thats my point. Dont be a tool.

also You MUST be able to interact if you are to "connected" in the sense that people talk about.

Like I said, "connected to the internet" could mean a lot of things.

Met my g/f online. Spoke for a year and a half and then met up in usa! long distance relationships are shit! but they do work if both put enough effort in. In 3 years, after we both finished uni, either of us shall change countries. She will hopefully have nursing as a profession, and i will have teaching. SHe is like my best friend and soul mate, so altough it is hard and bloody expensive, i wouldnt change her for the world.

THe situation is hard, but if you both help each other it is do-able. I don't reccomend it to ppl though, being at uni with the temptation lol...it does make u think about things

Oh its our 9 months tomoz

Its much nicer to meet someone who gives you that same feeling everytime you think about them
