Me too, but by "all the time" I mean a few times per hour.
I'm not really. I just stand up for what I
believe. Let me just say this
though. The "consumer-oriented public Internet" is what the internet is
now. Netflix alone was something like 30% of all internet traffic last
month.
That's because it's friggin' VIDEO, man! You can get a hundred
thousand SSH sessions for the bandwidth that one movie consumes.
Surely you can't be this stupid.
My GOD why am I entertaining this? You are a fucking TROLL, and you
like pushing my (very pushable!) buttons.
Maybe occasionally I tunnel a remote connection on
top of that. Why even bring it up. I am not sure if you even combined
worldwide ssh usage on a single day it would even show up as a blip on a
traffic graph. Even if you compared numbers of connections to each other
and not bandwidth. This I obviously can't back up. I just suspect it's
true. *opinion alert* for those needing a disclaimer.
So you're saying that what the Internet "is" is defined by what eats
the most bandwidth? So what happens if I get thirty of my closest
friends with serious bandwidth access to start moving data on port 70,
does that mean Gopher is now what the Internet is all about?
Do you see why I'm saying your reasoning is flawed? At this point,
note well that I don't believe for a second that you actually THINK this
way. I'm quite certain you're just pushing my buttons, probably because
you know I'm hip-deep in op-amps at the moment (oh, but we probably
don't really use THOSE anymore either!) with a demo mere days away.
