Wow! You people are good! I was a bit confused by Anna830’s comments and looked it up for myself…trainhead is correct, again! Anna830 was about 50 miles off with her hint!

Now we have all heard this but I don’t think it is sinking in to the general mind of the taxpayers out there…in the 3rd paragraph of the introduction they point out:...

I thought that this was an interesting read and have included the map and the 8 questions that they answer about the internet. I found it funny that they would even consider #6 as a question that people didn’t know about the internet! From NewScientist.com: Eight things you didn't know about the internet Who controls the internet? Could the net become self-aware? How big is the net? Is there only one internet? Is ...
