It's a meme created by his political opponents, just like most of the more outrageous bad stuff you hear about politicians.
QFT: It's hard to remember nowadays, but Dubya was an anomaly, and most of the time you have to distort or even fabricate the truth to slam a politician.
Now after saying that, I should mention that it was defensible when Bush referred to the "Internets" and when Ted Stevens referred to the Internet as a "series of tubes" because originally "internet" referred to any large connected cluster of networks (now known as an intranet when not connected to the Internet) and the connections between computers have been referred to with tubular metaphors like how big a company's pipes are.

I'm sorry but encoding really isn't for the "layman" and you will need to become tech-savvy to do a really good job of it, but the Encoder Guidelines are useful: http://tasvideos.org/EncoderGuidelines.html
I'd really like to give this 10.0 for technical value but I can't, sorry - not your fault but those bastards at Capcom who can't make consistent games:)
That's not what "tech quality" means. You're not supposed to judge the game, but the play...
I thought the saying went the other way: "Don't hate the player, hate the game."
(I wouldn't be at all surprised if some people ask questions like "do I need to have internet explorer running in order to use skype?")
I love how some people tell you to "turn off the Internet" (==close the browser) to have better performance in online games. The use of words just creeps me out.
The browser might be hogging resources, though.
The point is that it's called the (web) browser, not the Internet connection.
No, see Gore was on some committee that provided extra funding to the Internet or something, and he wasn't even in Congress back when the Web's granddaddy DARPA created the Internet back in 1969.
Anyway the Internet is more than just the Web, and things like USENET and IRC and e-mail existed long before the WWW; hell even Internets worms existed before the Webbernets.
Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee OM KBE FRS FREng FRSA (born 8 June 1955) is an English computer scientist credited with inventing the World Wide Web. On 25 December 1990 he implemented the first successful communication between an HTTP client and server via the Internet with the help of Robert Cailliau and a young student staff at CERN. He was ranked Joint First alongside Albert Hofmann in The Telegraph's list of 100 greatest living geniuses. Berners-Lee is the director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which oversees the Web's continued development, the founder of the World Wide Web Foundation and he is a senior researcher and holder of the 3Com Founders Chair at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL).
Berners-Lee wrote WorldWideWeb on a NeXT Computer during the second half of 1990, while working for CERN. The first successful build was completed on December 25, 1990
I have a terrible memory...I guess this means a 100% TAS should be under 5:30, but at any rate I guess I should get to work learning the tricks of the trade first.
What would be the best way to do this? Should I first map out the SDA route and try to follow it as closely as possible? Would it be a better idea to first see where I might be able to take shortcuts that YautjaElder could not take because they require too much precision? Should I just master everything on this Wiki page and go from there?
Common / popular is not mutually exclusive with bad.
e.g. Pokémon or basically any other game for which glitchfests are possible, though I must admit that few games make it onto shelves that are as badly programmed as Cheetahmen II or Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing.
I just finished watching the 100% run on SDA, and I must say it was awe-inspiring to see what that hidden grotto with the Dekus hidden underground was meant for; I had thought it was an unfinished part of the game because I couldn't figure out what to do and it wasn't in the Nintendo guide but it turns out you get upgrades to your capacities of Deku Sticks and Nuts in that room.
The only thing cooler than seeing it in an unassisted speed run would be seeing it in a TAS, and if only I had the time to master the techniques and tweak the route (a TAS, even with save-warping, wouldn't need 64 segments) I would do it. I think in the end, a run like this would manage to be just under 6 hours (the unassisted segmented run is 6:55) and might be the first TAS on the site with three authors lol.
I can barely wait to see some hot hot Webbernets action.
