Whoa subby...Kentucky? Do they even have electricity there?

/Don't ban me.

The internet is no longer cool

...since AOL got connected.

Wake me up, when September ends.

The internet is no longer cool, now that every toothless troll can get high speed a Fark account.
/I don't even own a TV
//your show sucks
///Your beliefs are stupid

Interactive newsgroups?

I am more upset any freeper can get internet.

Now we get to watch Darwinian selection at play, all to breed, MUSTAKRAKISH the supertroll!

prepare for more hillbilly porn!

The coolness factor is low if you think of it as a bunch of dumptrucks. But, really, it's a series of tubes.

The Interweb started to suck for me when 14 year old girls were like "getting on line easy. All I have to do is point and click". In my day we had to edit the autobat.config file to get our modems to work properly.

That must include subby.

/Unsolicited insults are so droll.

The internet lost any semblance of cool the first time some loser felt superior because he paid for totalfark.

If I was a troll trolling blogs, fark, and digg... I could still get away with a 256k modem.

Jeebus christ, I've had high speed for like 10 years.

I hear they got some cool internets out in Californie....

the internet, that thing's still around?

/amidoinitright

You lose one dang tooth and all
of a sudden you're "toothless"!

"Hey maw, we got the internets!"

St_Francis_P: Whoa subby...Kentucky? Do they even have electricity there?

/Don't ban me.

TN and KY have had electricity since the LAST depression. You know the one where FDR was president.

"Toothless People"

They only show you their gums when they smile
Ain't got a tooth in their heads now...how vile
Only can eat things like pudding and applesauce
They never have to buy toothpicks or dental floss

Hey! Stand up!
Toothless people...their breath is lethal, wanna tell you
Hey...come on! Stand up...get on your feet!
Toothless people...old and feeble, what I say

No more of those pearly whites will they possess
Their oral hygiene is frightful...a mess
Lots of 'em suffering from trench mouth and gum disease
At least they don't have to worry 'bout cavities

Hey! Stand up...take out your teeth!
Toothless people...old and feeble, oh yes

You can brush 'em, you can floss 'em
They're something you just can't ignore
If you lose 'em, you're in trouble
'Cause the tooth fairy won't come no more
You need something to show your dentist
The next time he makes you say "ahh..."
You don't wanna have to wind up
Eating all of your food through a straw

Like toothless people
Toothless people...you'd better brush your teeth now
Hey...toothless, toothless, toothless, toothless people

No way. Next you'll be telling me that Drew lives in KY.

the internet was awesome until myspace came along. that ruined it in my opinion.

Monkeypillow: jonasborg: so what's next?

Interactive newsgroups?

Oh sure, next you'll be saying there will be games that thousands of people will be able to play at the same time. Dreamers.

Don't forget where Fark hails from, ya'll...

The internet began to suck when they commercialized it in the 90's.

Don't get me started on talking ads...

/'Congratulations, you've been selected...'
//'Say something!'
///'Helloooooo!'

How many have Total Fark accounts?

Lumber Jack Off: the internet was awesome until myspace came along. that ruined it in my opinion.

I think most people liked it better when it required the slightest bit of technical know-how to get online. When it was only university students and a few tech-heads, it was more of a community. Now that every vapid teenager has several pages dedicated to themselves and their lives, it's lost its charm.

That being said, I was only born in 1990, so I would have missed out on the experience, and although I'm sure it used to be better, I enjoy it in its current form.

/Likes to consider himself more refined than his peers
//Then again, I'm on Fark, which throws that out the window

The internet was waaay cool when I started using it in the early '70s. Back then it was just a few universities and government labs hooked together. It was known as OnionBeltNet.

/If I had a lawn, you'd be unwelcome on it

I'm surprised half these religions nutbars can even spell ".com".

ZAZ: The internet is no longer cool

...since AOL got connected.

Wake me up, when September ends.

So, since 1994?

Face it, the Internet hasn't really been cool since it was ARPANet.

Britney Spear's Speculum: Did someone say Troll?

Does it make me a geek if seeing that pic made me hum the FFI theme song?

Well, how are they supposed to buy meth? Dialup?!

Hey, I still have teeff.

Could be worse, could be Arkansas.

Religions nutbars can spell?

Not trying to threadjack, but I'm reminded of the days before broadband.

When I started delving into Web page design around 1995 or so, one of the most important things I learned was to be very careful to compress all graphics and photos down to the smallest possible size (while maintaining reasonable quality) so as to keep the page from taking forever to load over a 14.4k modem.

It was preferable to keep the entire page size, all text and graphics, to a maximum of 50KB. I would sometimes literally tweak a graphic pixel-by-pixel to try to shave a few more KB off without losing quality, because getting the page to load in 20 seconds was way better than having it take 30 seconds. Those days are long gone, thankfully.
