Das Internet is nicht fuer gefingerclicken und
giffengrabben. Ist easy droppenpacket der routers und overloaden
der backbone mit der spammen und der me-tooen. Ist nicht fuer
gewerken bei das dumpkopfen. Das mausklicken sichtseeren keepen
das bandwit-spewin hans in das pockets muss; relaxen und watchen
das cursorblinken.
This newest version partly reflects reports that the word
`blinkenlights' is (in 1999) undergoing something of a revival in
usage, but applied to networking equipment. The transmit and
receive lights on routers, activity lights on switches and hubs,
and other network equipment often blink in visually pleasing and
seemingly coordinated ways. Although this is different in some
ways from register readings, a tall stack of Cisco equipment or a
19-inch rack of ISDN terminals can provoke a similar feeling of
hypnotic awe, especially in a darkened network operations center
or server room.
