- savingadvice, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28Nice rendering...would have been nice if the image was a bit bigger to make it easier to read...
- 5thfreedom, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16This is the map that I always follow when I need to find my way around the internets, too bad I have to wait patiently for 15 minutes without moving my mouse before I get to look at it.

- glguy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Maybe because the rule you cite is not a rule at all...
Quoting: http://www.bartleby.com/64/C001/050.html
preposition ending a sentence. It was John Dryden, the 17th-century poet and dramatist, who first promulgated the doctrine that a preposition may not be used at the end a sentence. Grammarians in the 18th century refined the doctrine, and the rule has since become one of the most venerated maxims of schoolroom grammar. But sentences ending with prepositions can be found in the works of most of the great writers since the Renaissance. In fact, English syntax not only allows but sometimes even requires final placement of the preposition, as in We have much to be thankful for or That depends on what you believe in. Efforts to rewrite such sentences to place the preposition elsewhere can have comical results, as Winston Churchill demonstrated when he objected to the doctrine by saying “This is the sort of English up with which I cannot put.” 1
Even sticklers for the traditional rule can have no grounds for criticizing sentences such as I don’t know where she will end up or It’s the most curious book I’ve ever run across; in these examples, up and across are adverbs, not prepositions. You can be sure of this because it is impossible to transform these examples into sentences with prepositional phrases. It is simply not grammatical English to say I don’t know up where she will end and It’s the most curious book across which I have ever run.

Enough for you? - B0jangles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's a truck which you just something on!
- Netmindstorm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5What are you complaining for?
- SirNuke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3In case anyone is wondering, in the early days of IP address allocation (1980s), allocation was very wasteful due to assumptions about the rate of growth of IP address needs (it was assumed that Internet would continue to evolve like the huge ARPNET network, rather than small LANs). A few American universities were assigned full Class A networks (in short, Class A networks are the entire 16 million IP addresses that all start with the same digit, ex 16.x.x.x).
In the early 90s, it became clear that smaller networks would be used, and the IANA eliminated the Class A/Class B/Class C designations and start assigning organizations much smaller networks. With the advent of NAT in 1996, IP address allocation has become even more limited. All of China's Internet growth has taken place during limited allocation policies, hence why China has less IP addresses than a few American colleges. - atorpey, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Maybe someone should show this to Ted Stevens
- EP235, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I use The Google to look at map...I love map...I love stapler
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5My picture of the Internet: It is full of people who end their sentences with prepositions.
"What does the Internet look like?" OMG! What did you post that for? What category should this go under? - neuralcooker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3This is cool. I'd like to see a vector graphics format of this where you can zoom in and stuff.
- PhilBoswell, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3The map from last month was for IPv6 and is therefore somewhere right out on the bleeding edge, hence rather sparse.
This map is IPv4 which is what nearly everyone is currently using, hence considerably more dense. - ToadMcFrog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@ SirNuke
"With the advent of NAT in 1996, IP address allocation has become even more limited."
NAT (Network Address Translation) has _lessened_ the strain on IP address allocation, not the other way around. Because NAT allows a single "live" IP address to act as a gateway for thousands of hosts using private IP addresses, each host that connects to the internet may do so without taking up a live IP. NAT is the sole reason that the proliferation of IPv6 has been as slow as it has...
Not trying to bust your chops or anything, just putting it out there. - junk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Cool that Discover has Digg, Reddit and Del.icio.us buttons on most stories.
- Mrkamikaze, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Wow a big picture view of Al Gore's invention brilliant!.
- PharmaPhool, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1As suspected, it looks like hell. Hey, what happens when we pull this wire over here?
- Omadhaun, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Funny that TimeWarner is on there, yet there is no trace of Comcast.
- Crid, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3822am PST, dugg to death?
- RocketSeason, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3Anyone know if there is a high-rez version of this image available for download?
- jakebarnes, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2At glguy...
Just because you have a reference saying that the rule is not a rule doesn't mean that people don't sound like dumb asses when they end sentences with a preposition. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1glguy:
"as in We have much to be thankful for or That depends on what you believe in."
Have you tried
"We have much for which to be thankful."
or
"That depends on that in which you believe." - gert2, on 10/12/2007, -12/+4"What does the Internet look like?"
It looks like a series of tubes.
Yes, I know it's old. - Feanor, on 10/12/2007, -12/+3bury
