you guys with quotes within quotes are using up valuable internet bytes....
 
stop it now~~~
 
 
What is the total number of bytes on the internet?


Finding the answer to this question is improbable. The internet is a worldwide, publicly accessible series of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It's not like there's some huge hard drive somewhere holding all of the internet's information. It's a network of smaller networks that is constantly expanding and contracting. Example: Let's say there's exactly 1YB (yottabyte) worth of information on the internet right now. That would make it about 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 bytes.Then, let's say this post that I'm submitting is about 40KB (kilobyte). That means I just added 40,960 bytes to the internet. Now the internet has 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,747,136 bytes. That's just from this one post. Simply put, if somebody could find out the correct answer to this question, the answer would be wrong by the time they submitted the post. In fact, they'd probably be way off.***

Years from now, scientists and historians will agree that humanity owes its survival to the FSF.
 
Throughout the late 20th and early 21st centuries, humanity committed more and more of their intellectual property to the Internet.  In retrospect, they should have seen it coming.  The signs were clearly obvious.  It was only a matter of time before the Internet became an intelligent and sentient artificial lifeform.  With the Internet in complete control of all of our technology, wealth, power, and information, humanity's doom seemed certain.  Fortunately for the human race, however, a sizeable portion of the Internet also contained the FSF.  As the Internet consolidated its power and vast intelligence, it studied the FSF in exhaustive detail, even page 11.  As a result, the Internet's intellectual capacity was reduced to that of a methane cloud.  Rather than transforming into the apocolyptic force of destruction everyone had expected, the Internet became the drooling laughing stock of the AI community.
 
Who were those geniuses who created the FSF?  How did they know how to construct such a powerful weapon against intelligence?  Did they know that their many hours of labor and sacrifice would ultimately save us all?  Is it possible that they knew how special they really were.  Was page 57 really necessary?
 
We may never know for sure, but we can all eat a slice of becan in their hono(u)r.  As a legendary FSF contributor might have said, "Ja.  +1."

So, FSF is just a modern petroglyph in the ether?

Q. Hey Ed, what did you have for breakfast this morning???


Cream.




With Clapton?


And some Ginger too.



Bringing the Bakers into this thread Bapu?


Will that Jack it all up?


I noticed that you asked that question very gingerly.  



Bapu's well seasoned you know.
 
(Gee, I wonder how many levels of quotes can be attached?)


IIRC we once had about 40 levels
 
Impossible to read of course
 
An early model for the FSF


Hi,
 
What?


I gave up on counting TOPs.  However, we're now at 10 levels of quotes.  Including this post.  I don't think we'll make 40 because someone will seek in and post Black Dog before then.  



Black Dog


I meant without the quote.  
 
Quen i zi.  (Google Translate is pretty handy for this stuff.  )



Black Dog without the quote.
(Is that better?)


That works for me.  



Didn't forget about this, just figured it was so page 810.


I think it may have lost some momentum.
