This is funny. This is about the   tag.
Dont worry there is no such thing as a   virus. Its the person who makes the webpage. I think microsoft word does it in html mode.
I think its enter without making a new paragraph.
Something funny about the non breaking space tag
A.) No it wasn't funny.
B.) creates a space. like hitting the spacebar.
I dont think this markup will destory the internet. It is like all other mark up.
wtf? " " is a quite useful tag that keeps text on one line. I have no idea what that guy is talking about. 😮dd:
its not me, its whoever worte it
That's one of the dumbest things I've ever read. If anybody knows anything about web developement, the   tag is user created. Hold down the space key for more than one space at a time, and you get those. (this, of course rivals the AGN forum way of doing things, where holding down the space key eliminates extra spaces.)
This guy should check his enemas and delete his page off of his server for wasting people's time.
Being a satire, it does bring up what seems to be a valid point. Wouldn't using take five times as much filesize to load than a normal space? Especially if used all the time, that actually could have a significant effect. If so, then he has a point under the sarcasm.
How much text would you really need to slow down my 1.5 Mbit DSL?
let see i have a 512 kbs (which translates to 60KB/s in downloading) at a coffe shops wireless access point (its free except for the 50$ PCMIA card). You have 1.5 MB which would be 180 KB/s...
My coffe shop connection "eats" a full (650MB) ISO in like 5-7 hours.
So if you can do an iso in like 2-4 hours I can imangine how fast a agn page would be inhaled!! w00T
I have 3.0 MB/s (cable) like 5 goddamn miles away from me and i cant GET IT!!!!!! and that would, by the way, can eat a iso for lunch! 1-2 hours for a d/l.
At home i got 28 on this computer and 43 on my laptop. (no not MB/s (which would be like T3) but kb/s)

use something as small as a 1px x 1px spacer gif and you've already completely blown that theory out of the water. god forbid you put a bigger picture on a website. WHEW!

<<<<< here is 20 copies of the 1 pixel image. If its only 1x1 doesnt that make it 1-D as oposed to 2-d and 3-d
