- BlackCow, on 10/21/2007, -2/+69Google is the central nervous system?
- UncleBadTouch, on 10/15/2007, -3/+59This article should have been labeled "21 mildly interesting facts about the internet that no one cares about, or ever needs to know"
- shinynew, on 10/21/2007, -2/+56somewhat useless and can kill a server if it becomes inflamed.
- Vazelos, on 10/16/2007, -7/+59One thing I know: Today, the internet is my entertainment, education, work efficiency and speech or written communications. Some people may say this is geeky but I really feel blessed to have this tool in my life. Especially for education and learning, I think the TV, radio or papers stand no chance against it.
And Digg is the best site for me for entertainment and education or learning. Like I say to my friends who do not know Digg: Digg is the website that concentrates everything that is worth being on the internet under one website, for learning, education, fun or plain silly. Digg stands for internet as far as I am concerned. - bioskope, on 10/15/2007, -1/+52And it is not a dump truck
- xxTazxx, on 10/16/2007, -3/+45I'm thinking the "13" in "elfprince13" denotes age.
- SpykerSpeed, on 10/15/2007, -1/+42Aww, that's so sweet! *tear*
~Resumes Technoviking video~ - skyshock1, on 10/21/2007, -4/+45FoxNews.com is the taint.
- trylleklovn, on 10/21/2007, -0/+37And the human body is not?
- jgtg32a, on 10/21/2007, -0/+33But actually it isn't completely useless it helps reboot the digestive system, if you get sick
- Rikkochet, on 10/15/2007, -3/+29I thought he was doing an impression of the mino chick in the "Internet is for Porn" video.
- BigW, on 10/15/2007, -0/+21No his facts can be completely right on. North America (as a continent) may have the most internet users, where Sweden (as a country) has the most, but Europe (as a continent) does not.
- dattaway, on 10/15/2007, -4/+23It always amuses me when some ignorant AOL yahoo comes out with that one liner. Mr. Gore was a very good friend of the internet.
- puredeviation, on 10/15/2007, -2/+2114. Country with the highest percentage of net users?
Sweden at 75%.
Lol, The Pirate Bay - RealmDown, on 10/15/2007, -3/+22Spam is large intestinal filler
- hinmanj, on 10/21/2007, -1/+19I always thought goatse was the ***** of the internet...
- moskaudancer, on 10/15/2007, -1/+17Because you have to know what it is to avoid it, unfortunately.
- Shiftyeyedgoat, on 10/15/2007, -1/+17"812 million are Internet users as of Dec. '04. "
Good thing this articleis on the cusp of breaking news. - TeamoSupremo, on 10/21/2007, -0/+14It became self-aware on August 4th 1997. It's waiting...
- Cyber_Akuma, on 10/15/2007, -0/+14Nah, thats just one big *****
- toejuiceDCUP, on 10/15/2007, -0/+14I'm sorry Dave, but I'm afraid I can't do that.
- panfist, on 10/15/2007, -1/+15#22: Pioneered by slashdot, what is popularly known around here as the "digg effect" has the power to overload websites ranging from weekender-blogs to corporate media outlets. Any article about the history of the internet is bound to be incomplete if it succumbs to a gang-bang of the online mob.
- Disease, on 10/16/2007, -0/+14If it exists, there's porn for it.
- speerross, on 10/15/2007, -0/+13Thats now what he meant. He said approx. 800 million people use the net. The USA has a poopulation of approx. 300 Million. There is no way the USA makes up 70% of all people using the net - rather 70% of Americans use the net meaning approx 210 Million of that 800 Million total users.
- MacEnvy, on 10/15/2007, -0/+13This comment makes me feel very old.
- Justin6512, on 10/15/2007, -0/+13how is number 8 directly relative to the title of the article?
- quentinmcalmott, on 10/15/2007, -0/+11TFA:"Each month you usually visit 59 domains, view 1,050 pages allocating 45 seconds for each page and spend about 25 hours doing all this net activity! Each surfing session lasts 51 minutes."
hahahaha. Even if this is from 2005, it doesn't describe me at all.
Also, 1050*45/3600 = 13.125 hours per month, not 25. - Xkribble, on 10/15/2007, -5/+16Try learning the difference between actual concentration and net percentage...
- nathanwalker, on 10/15/2007, -0/+11wow, they explained what html and http is? i feel so much more edumacated about the www now. /sarcasm
- davidpower, on 10/16/2007, -12/+22anyone on digg allready know these
- AfterTheCalm, on 10/15/2007, -0/+10The Internet is a communication tool used the world over where people can come together to bitch about movies and share pornography with one another.
- specialK16, on 10/15/2007, -0/+10WTF!!!!!!!!
- HonoredMule, on 10/15/2007, -0/+9The significance of Zymosis' statement is in pointing out a reason (not the only one) that ifm1989 has NOT actually found an error in the article, just an ambiguity.
- m0tbaillie, on 10/15/2007, -0/+9No. The earliest implementation of the Internet was definitely ARPANET. The US military championed its creation as a way of distributing military networks and spreading them out. This was done so that in case of a Soviet attack, we wouldn't have one central network to hit, but rather, a wide spread "web".
- exomni, on 10/15/2007, -1/+10#34: If you can think of it, there is porn for it.
- quomen, on 10/21/2007, -9/+18Human Body? I thought the internet was a bunch of tubes?
- shinynew, on 10/15/2007, -0/+9Dont listen to this site, measuring the size of the web by google is a poor estimate, its hard to do, and google is probably the closest by far, but its still way way off.
All sites that you have to be longed in to see are not take up by google, alot of dynamically generated pages are not taken in, email is not taken, any type of P2P etc. - Pelapp, on 10/15/2007, -0/+883% of people in Denmark, have internet access...
- chaparyan, on 10/15/2007, -1/+9Sounds like you are interviewing for a job at Digg...
