"I am the Internet" is just too tempting, methinks.

I DONT'T KNOW

I wonder what kind of calculator the Internet had, that it come here.

Well it looks like the Internet has multiple instances of itself (judging from the votes)...

if anyone ever tries to sell you satellite internet, run away!!!

Why? Wouldn't that be the ultimate connection?

no. i have a satellite modem and sometimes it gets lazy and gives me 10-20 kbps downloads. plus, it often simply doesn't work. alas, i am out of range of cable and dsl.

I live on campus now an get good internet. but at home(where I am now) we get horrible internet I once saw the download speed reported as 0 kb/sec. we can only get dial up where we live.

I think it also depends on the remote server load for download speed

my connection must be fast, I can download the Internet in about 15 minutes :)

To download internet, click link.

"Insufficient memory for drive C:\"

Shouldn't that be "Insufficient disk space on Drive C:"?

Yes, but I didn't make it so don't blame me and most people don't know the difference between memory and disk space so it doesn't really matter.

I know you didn't make it. Just making an observation. :)

wow 4,361 years by that time the internet will have grown so I will never finish

That depends upon whether connection speed or amount of Internet content grows faster...I would bet upon the latter, since it seems at least some people use all bandwidth available to them for their content, & there is more than 1 person doing so.

Nice

and just why do you have 23993 TERA-bytes of memory?

If I had that much, I could certainly fill it (maybe with digits of pi...or (2^48)!, if it would fit). Not that I would...on my current computer, I can back up all my personal data onto a 128MB CompactFlash card & carry it with me (just in case there was a fire or someone stole my computer).

Or both, all at the same time? :-)

(2^48)!

==(2 xor 48)!

==(00000010 xor 00110000)!

==(00110010)!

==(50)!

That's less than 30 bytes ;)

You are mixing notation. C, which uses ^ for XOR, does not also use ! for factorial (at least, not last I checked). In every case I have ever seen ! used for factorial, ^ meant exponentiation. Then again, we could just use (2**48)! :)
