- rlittle66, on 11/19/2008, -0/+7Does this mean we can stop sending radio signals out into space in hopes of locating life on other planets? Now we can just set up an Earth Webpage and wait for comments or friend request from other galaxies.

Recently, our esteemed leader, Zorax, lost his life in a tragic plasma explosion, leaving 6000 quadrillion praloons to his next of kin..... - McNash, on 11/20/2008, -0/+6Even nature throttles your internet.

With a one second lag, due to the speed of light.
Though, I wouldn't plan on playing Counterstrike. - wheresjim, on 11/19/2008, -0/+3Screw it - I'm sick of paying my car lease anyway:

Imagine an ad-hoc wireless network that slowly but resiliently delivers large files across cities; one that cannot be switched off because there is no service provider and that is incredibly difficult to police because there are no central logs.
- inactive, on 11/20/2008, -0/+3Spacenet
