what sort of blabbering idiot refers to the internets in such a ridiculous manner?
it reminds me of when people say "i'm on my way down" when they're actually coming from the South, so technically they'd be on their way "up"... but i always get irritated and feel the need to correct them. one of my old friends used to get sooo pissed whenever i'd correct him about it. |

They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material. |
