There’s also WOL (Wake On LAN), but those settings aren’t particularly useful unless you’re running services from your home computer. Regardless, your computer needs to be turned on for any data to be accessible.
Yes, I understand that this article was satire.

That graphic is classic but sadly outdated. That graphic shows the Internet is approx. 23 Petabytes. I worked for a hospital system that had over 20 EXAbytes (1 Exabyte = 1,024 Petabytes) of EMC SAN disk. More than enough to store the Internet from this graphic.
FWIW, there’s no real way to calculate the exact size of publicly accessible data. The total amount of stored data, public and private, is probably incalculable in a “Graham’s Number” sort of way.

Thanks for the education. I just found someplace and thought it was funny enough to use in a reply comment.
However, what you say makes perfect sense. The total information out there on the WWW is not just incalculably large, it is also growing exponentially every second we breath.
Even if we could download all the information, by the time we no sooner clicked the finish button, the information would have grown exponentially again. So we could never ever keep up with it even if we tried.
That is why, try as they may, the governments will never be able to control the content on the web, short of shutting down all the servers or sabotaging the phone line system and disabling the satellites.

Why was the image of me and my wife getting baptized removed from my comment?
It was me holding my paraplegic wife in my arms as two pastors were praying over us before they dunked us both to be baptized.
I could post it again but it belonged with the
comment #29.
Why would a moderator remove it? What harm did it do to this thread that I began? I am beginning to wonder about some of the moderators here. Removing a baptismal image? Wow,, strange.

Thank you for replacing the image.
I still would like to know why it was pulled.
However, it is what it is, and you put it back.
..... Again thank you.

Oh, wow! You stepped into the “Barbie Doll” argument! Someone should write a book for you guys so you don’t step in it so often. : )

By the way, that is a beautiful picture of you and your wife coming together in baptism. Made me remember my own baptism in 1964. Looooong time ago!

Thank you. It is my favorite of all time of us. That’s why it’s the wallpaper on my pc screen.
As for the barbie doll argument, it was my fault.
See, after 25 years I did learn some lessons.
Yes dear, you are right, and I am sorry.... :>)

It is the only way to be baptized. After all, it is supposed to be a public display of ones commitment to the lord.
I personally have nothing against a sprinkle baptism. After all, would anyone expect a person on their deathbed to be dunked? No, so a sprinkle on their head would suffice.
However, nothing should stand in the way of a healthy person from being dunked in a public way. Those who are ashamed to publicly admit their devotion and love for God, need to consider what Jesus told his disciples when he warned them about the troubles they will face for following him.
Whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
