The internet is dead

The kid formerly known as Prince Rogers Nelson became the pop musician known as [B]Prince[/B].

Then, Prince became [B]The Artist Formerly Known as Prince[/B] I.[/I]

Then, in yet another reversal, The Artist Formerly Known as Prince became [B]the artist formerly known as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince[/B]. I guess that would be abbreviated as [I]“tafkaTAFKAP”.[/I]

Now, this very stable and rational fellow has declared that the internet is dead. Damn! who knew?

This earth-shaking news was broken by Yahoo! …

July 5-11: This Is What It Sounds Like When The Internet Cries - That’s Really Week

…so it must be 100% true. I mean, we can believe everything we read on the internet, right?

Oh wait, the internet is dead. What the … ?

I guess, from now on, Prince will have to release his albums on 8-track tape.

And we forex traders will have to phone our brokers for price quotes, and draw price charts by hand on graph paper.

Welcome to the brave, new world of … [B]Whatever He Calls Himself Now[/B]. That would be [I]tbnwoWHCHN.[/I]

The artist formerly known as who? …Yeah I know who Prince is/was…but he really must be full of himself to think we really care to know what he was formerly known as. To me, he’ll always be known as “Prince”, no matter what he calls himself now :stuck_out_tongue: …which is probably why he considers the internet dead since it fails to acknowledge his new “known as” name…how immature, for a more mature known artist :rolleyes:

I heard on the radio today: we’re running out of IP addresses worldwide!!!

The internet might as well be dead.

Young people just coming online will never know what the internet once was and the potential it once had.

It’s now over commercialized. Worse than television even when it comes to advertising. 50,000 blog posts saying exactly the same thing (most are simply (copy/paste).

Everybody and their mother has a Facebook, and most of them aren’t for the intended purpose of socializing but to represent a commercial interest.

Can’t watch a video anymore without having to deal with advertising overlays and delays. As if the videos were of any value. Video hosts have all but silenced their original user/audience in favor of commercial interests.

It used to be about knowledge and [U]sharing[/U].

There is a campaign currently underway to do away with traditional ISP’s and make the internet free for everyone, this sounds great until you get to the part where everything will be pay per view. I imagine that will also mean pay to publish.

Prince is right.

Take me back to 1999.

ipv6 will fix that.

[B]icup[/B] is correct.

Here’s a short article describing the problem, and the solution —

yeah, ipv6 is the solution, they will never stop providing solution for the consumers and at the same time they can gain profit too :):):slight_smile:

One word: AdBlock. Available for Firefox or Google Chrome (I need more posts before I can include links - do a google search). Blocks about 90% of all internet advertising. The web is far more endurable without epilepsy-inducing flashing banner ads.

I’ve used Adblock but there are still few that can escape, only a few.

I’ve read some funny joke about that and the user says
"… and also I’ve got a girl problem"
I hope you can get his problem heheh
