By oxygen, they mean money. A network might become victim of its' own popularity and not be able to pay its' bandwidth bills (as with SuprNova in its' early days). The people paying for ads on them are helping prevent this collapse.
Of course they're hopelessly unrealistic, there's no g-force when driving a racing car, there's no wind rushing through your hair while you run around a football pitch etc..
Yeah, well people don't get sexed up by Leonardo Di Caprio when they watch Titanic either, but some of them still cry as though it were the case, dammit. They still cry.
It's sad to see such senseless conflict. Here's to hoping the Nullsoft team gets to work on a new project soon enough now that they've mostly ditched AOL.
I'm especially irritated by the increasing number of highly-ranked pages that are nothing more than another search engine's results. If Google could find some way to identify and remove these from my result set, Google's usefulness to me would increase 10 times over.
Don't you mean 20 times over?
