Re: American Pie (Fight?) (4.00 / 2)

I've gone to very, very many concerts in the U.S. and never had the experience. Sorry, I didn't think of the link. I'm still a bit (to say the least) backwards when it comes to internet gadgets. Why do we write internet with an upper-case letter: like Television and Telephone?

There are many telephones in the world, but there is only one Internet.

Re: American Pie (Fight?) (none / 1)

The Internet and the World Wide Web are two separate components. The Internet is the infrastructure ('pipes'), the www is the data handling (pumps)

Re: American Pie (Fight?) (none / 0)

www is one data handling (the html-based), though nowadays the others (ftp, gopher, usenet) are marginalised, except for the newer p2p.

Re: American Pie (Fight?) (none / 0)

Of course - I was merely pointing out (ineffectively) that many people confuse the two terms.

Noooooooo!

There are much more datat handling possibilities than the www. To name one you probably use: email.

But there are others too.
