What is Webable? And Webbabble, Webbable and Webbabel? You tell me. And what's a Webster or a Webber or plain Webber. It's all Webberish to me.
Item 22:
Have I got news for you. Watch it, BBC.
Item 23:
If you got this far, you may also be interested in the King William's Test Paper, the quiz published by HP/De Tijd at about Yuletide. I think the original is some British prank to get through boxing day digging through the Brittanica. In truth, it takes more than a day; it's not your average crossword.
Item 24:
To send the ever smiling Maura your greetings, you might send her a smile back.
Item 25:
Someone is trying to monopolize the wrong thing: a Dutch company has registered WEB Internet as its name. In protest, I will not give you the address. The Chamber of Commerce seems to have glitched big time.
Item 26:
Cool sites need not be hot, hot sites need not be cool, cool sites may be hot, hot sites may be definitely uncool. Get it?
Item 27:
Even if surfing is easy, surfing is not. The surfing jargon seems for some reason to have been chosen as the jargon for the net. So what's the Hookipa of the net.
Item 28:
Commercializing the net may destroy the net as we have just started to know it. Beware, although I don't think it can be contained. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Item 29:
Webberish: overt technical Internet talk designed to ruin any sensible conversation at any party.
Item 30:
Censorship is a hot issue. Do not be unduly worried. Politicians will need at least 39.5 years to get to an immediately outdated decision. So as long as the net community keeps them at arm's length and gets united on this, there is nothing to worry about.
Also, the net is ultimate free speech, which happens to be on the UN fundamental human rights list. A good many trials may be needed to establish any government's right to infringe this right.
Lastly, should push come to shove: have the European Commission take charge: the practical application of any measure may just prove too much even for that model of bureaucratic efficiency to handle.
