I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially.


Just wow.

I also remember watching something on the Daily Show where some old geezer politicians were talking about gaming. One of them said something like "I am an avid gamer, I am an expert at Pong".

These people should seriously be barred from voting on anything related to technology. They don't understand it, the don't care about the publics' opinions about it, and the only people they will listen to about it are the damn lobbyists (like the MPAA and RIAA). Having these people vote on anything related to technology is just asking for trouble.

Anyone else want to chip in on this?

"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

reminds me of the bash.org quote about the guy saying that his grandparents asked them to send an email to someone and giving him the person's P.O. Box number.

BWAHAHAHA! Brilliant! Site bookmarked for use on grandparents...

If I were to write a site like that, I'd make it actually provide a 'file' for download. Randomly generated and effectively of infinite size. That way, the download window would be right for the browser and OS, but I suppose anyone ignorant enough to fall for that site is probably still using Windows and IE anyway.
