What exactly is the "Internet"? Most folks believe the web is the "Internet".
Yeah, I hear ya. It would be nice if we could just step into a time machine and go back and visit the hay-day of the BBS era. :-) It is kind of happening with BBS's coming back online that have been dark for so many years, so that is something to be grateful for. :-)
I don't any of my computers even HAVE modems anymore. I know my laptop doesn't, I just double checked.

I dunno? BBS's have never left me. The only the that's changed is I don't use a dialup modem anymore. ;-)
I used "dub dub dub" when communicating the "www" parts in a web
address years ago. And even that is depricated now.

That one pisses me out. Just because a domain exist it does not mean a web server is hosted there. That is what you can have multiple hosts in a domain, so you can have mail.operationalsecurity.es for mails, and www.operationalsecurity.es for web, for example.

Sure. But wouldn't it make sense for the shorted form (e.g. operationalsecurity.es) to point to the server of most use/typing (e.g. the server)?
It used to annoy me when a site required a "www." sub-domain be specified in web browser. Now, that's pretty rare.

In those instances, it's a good idea to just have a small web server at the raw host that does a redirect to www.

An apache re-write rule should take care of that without another server stanza.
I use Dreamhost for my blog and a couple of other sites, and one of the options that have is how you want www.domain.tld and domain.tld. I usually tell them to strip the www and redirect to domain.tld, I presume that a rewrite is how they do it.

Nah .. self check out did though.
One thing I've wondered about - People complain because they don't like self-checkouts at the store, yet people like to pump their own gas for their car and often don't like needing a gas station attendant. Seems a bit contradictory.

I live in a state where self-service gas stations were against the law (only recently did my state start allowing self-service gas), and I've often seen people from out of state complain when they come here and find out they couldn't pump their own gas. But they don't like checking their own groceries?
i love self check out. now they dont have enough self checkout lines open. i just think we should get a discount for using it.

Yeh, I haven't seen anyone complain about someone else pumping their gas, unless they were being charged more to do it. Then again, I don't live in Oregon :). Been there once, though! Didn't mind letting someone else fill 'er up. Back in the day, we had a full service option in my state. That went away, though, because who wants to pay more for gas? People with those jobs here weren't that careful anyway, I don't think.
Personally, I don't use self-checkout because I'm not a fan of machines replacing our workforce... or having ME replace the workforce! I'll let another person check me out. That's one more job for them and possibly one more available job elsewhere for someone like me.
Whereas, checking out cartful of things is multi-step and takes
more fiddling around - such as identifying the locations of the
barcodes or entering them manually, etc..

I'm not a big fan of replacing the workforce either. And that's one argument people here have had about gas station attendants - They're
jobs people have where they're earning money, and allowing self-service gas would mean elimination of jobs.
at you strangely when you asked for a bag. They'd sort of pull off one
of those thin plastic bags that most US states have banned, and have
you bag away.

I was in Italy this summer. At the little corner stores, they'd
scan your items, but then leave them at the bottom of the conveyor
and look at you strangely when you asked for a bag. They'd sort of pull off one of those thin plastic bags that most US states have banned, and have you bag away.

Full serve used to cost around 10 cents a gallon more in states that offered both. If self-checkout gives me a discount, sure, I'll do your job for you!

US states banned plastic bags at grocery stores? that's news to me.

And, then, having a "loss control specialist" look through your items
and possibly detain you for shoplifting, justified or otherwise.

You hadn't heard about that? It was big in the news several years ago. I think California did, and then Oregon did about 3 or 4 years ago. They're not totally banned though, it's just that now, stores are mandated by law to charge you 10 cents per bag at checkout (even for paper bags), to encourage people to buy & use re-usable grocery bags.
And it's only for grocery bags at checkout. Stores still have plastic bags for vegetables in the produce section and for items in other sections, and those are still free. I'm not sure how it makes sense.

i heard something about it but i didn't know they followed through. i used to travel across the usa every year and i never experienced the no plastic bags during my stops.
i'm not surprised california and oregon did something.

In the end, they didn't totally ban the plastic bags; they just charge for them now. Also, they've been offering more sturdy plastic bags that you could probably use multiple times.
I'm pretty sure stores even charge for paper bags. They just want you to bring your own re-usable bags.

Pretty sure most of our stations here only employ cashiers. Most of them are just one person, but some are bigger and have two or three cash registers.
