It's time for some Q&A.Let's start with familiar/. lore. Q. Who invented the Internet?
#1: I obviuosly concede that that government paid for the INITIAL infrastructure costs, requisite research (TCP/IP) etc... but to call the Internet an invention is shortsighted and wrong. The Internet is an evolving organism. Where would the Internet be without countless labors of geeks, nerds on such projects such as Apache (Whoever has used the bug ridden-NCSA web server will understand....This is hearsay of course, I have never used it myself....problably because it sucked) , or by individuals who create those countless websites for FAQ's, general information, poetry, art....etc. What sort of monetary return on their time are these people getting. NOTHING. They do it because they want to. To say we should not complaim about our government WASTING OUR money simply because they laid down a couple million for a network the military could use to email the president after he has blown up half the earth.....is an absurdity.
#2: My train of thought has derailed, Im tired. Another 13 hour day (-30 min for/.) for 55k/year salary. (Started out at 40k)
What the hell is the matter with you. People like you and the fanatics who did this are the reason I hope there is Hell. I pray you suffer an eternity for your cruelty.
