Make Your Own DSL

Socialist Internet Service Provider?

Yeah... I love the part where he says "put the other end on the Internet backbone at your business." Okay, everyone ... get out your hard hats, we're stringin' circuits!

Oh, but wait -- if it's "my" business, aren't I paying for the magic "Internet backbone" there, too? He must mean someone else's business. But isn't that a little ethically dubious? Nah, I guess not... we're getting over on Da Man, after all. Damn telcos! I'll show 'em...

I don't have a cookie to give to him, but I'd like to grant an honorary cookie to Logic Bomb for correctly using who/whom [rutgers.edu] :-). (I thought I'd never see the day when I'd come across "whom" on Slashdot)

PS Through researching the link for who/whom, I came across this surprisingly interesting discussion [umich.edu] on teaching non-native English speakers the finer points of how to use the phrase "the hell!".

Dear Slashdot Editors and Submitters,

Please note. My name is Cringely, not Cringley.

The former sounds like what people do when they read the alarmist drivel I write.

The latter sounds like a potato chip commercial.

Sincerely,
Robert X. Cringely
