Internet nearing capacity, U.S. study says
Now help me compile a list of websites that should be deleted to save bandwidth. So far I've got:
1)Myspace
2)Any site dedicated to skinning Myspace or anyother social networking site
3)Anything registered to or under the control of Tim Buckley

Just sayin'.
This is fine.
But where will people store their retarded gifs and shock images?
You can't fill up the
you know what, nevermind
The one stamped INTERNET
I heard they put it in the ocean.
We need to know where the internets are so we can clean out the tubes.
Also to wash the truck.
And defrag the blagoblog.
HAHAHAHA LIKE WHAT THAT GUY SAID THAT ONE TIME!
HAHAHAH LOOK OUT OSCAR WILDE!
Actually pipes. The actual INTERNET looks like a borg cube. But now some of those pipes are starting to spring leaks. Bursting, shooting steam, klaxons blaring. Engineers and repair men frantically trying to seal the breaches.
tshhhh
tshhhhh
Mistype some of those words so I feel even more dumb about it.
I'm scared to upload the graph that explains why this is serious, but you have to trust me, it is very serious.
Think waterworld, but with the internet instead.
who did this study?
who paid for this bullshit?
it'll be fine
we can just put seawater in the pee-filtering machine
Evil ISP empire paid for this, I guarantee it.
Without myspace how are modern youth supposed to socialize. What do you expect them to do, actually go out and meet real people?
found the movie http://www.warriorsofthe.net/movie.html I was wrong about Road being in the title.
Oh that's your answer for everything.
the comparison falls apart when you compare the cost of building a highway to laying more cable and upgrading servers
You may die but at least you'll die knowing that I passed the exam.
It's ok. I just tattoo'ed a map of the internet on the back of a fat guy.
He better have a neckbeard and a cape.
human interaction
real communities
learning through collaboration
its all a bunch of bullshit and if we arent careful we will be reduced to talking to one of those fake conversation bots to fight the withdrawal
Cat-5 is fucking expensive, and forget that cat-6 shit that's like spun gold.
I really don't have a problem with tiered access.
If I wanna drive all the fuck over the nation's highways, I end up paying a lot of tolls. There's no reason that a person should be able to spam out (and/or receive) unlimited data for a flat rate. Makes no sense.
I'm not seeing why; the increased cost of maintaining extra infrastructure is brought on by increased usage of the existing infrastructure.
The numbers aren't the same, but the concept of "increased cost to match increased use" holds.
That is great.
Or Berk.
right, i'm saying that owing to size and cost it's far easier to create new 'internet pipes' than it is to create new highways. A highway gets congested enough and it turns to shit and takes eages to fix and lay new highways. Installing new fiber optic is cheaper and faster so the odds of a critical shutdown from overuse is laughable.
Oh oh yeah. A gridlock condition like that is totally laughable, given how fast and cheap it would be to fix, and how far we actually are from it. OK.
I also don't get why people are always shitting on the "series of tubes" analogy. It's a good analogy! Hell, I've heard more than one person with a PhD in computer science, in some cases teaching courses on networking, use a "water going through pipes" analogy. For an old senator, probably with no computer science experience whatsoever, the "tubes" analogy is pretty damn accurate. (I know you didn't shit on that analogy, but someone else in the thread kinda made a derisive reference to it.)
