The end of the internet? 2012.

[Horrisyodo]

Well atleast how we know it...

"Every significant Internet provider around the globe is currently in talks with access and content providers to transform the internet into a television-like medium: no more freedom, you pay for a small commercial package of sites you can visit and you'll have to pay for seperate subscriptions for every site that's not in the package."

I don't know how much you guys already know about this but I personally found the video and article very interesting. If this really is the end of net neutrality all together where will a site like newgrounds fit in?

You're a dick. You're a dick. You're a dick. You're a dick. You're a dick. You're a dick. You're a dick.

Bitch.

That will suck ass, many people will stop using it. WEll.. depends on cost really. But if it's gonna be like : 10$ a month to view like 5 sites, I highly doubt people will use it as much as they do now.
Leading to the fall of the intrawebs!

That wasn't funny...at all. Just stop trying. Save yourself from humiliation.

To stay on topic, I don't know if this will happen or not. It may just be another case of North American Union-ism (ie baseless conspiracy theories).

Where do people get those?

This happening in 2012 is as likely as the world ending on 12-21-12.

Or less.

Fail and AIDS due to typo and lack of sense.

Internet companies seem to forget that their users know more about the Internet and computers in general than they do themselves. Some bright sparks will find ways to get unrestricted internet access and illegally provide it to the public at a reasonable price, the same way people are inclined to acquire all the TV channels illegally. The difference is that people are used to having unrestricted internet access and suddenly being told that they can't, will not go down well.

This is all to do with the Apocolypse, predicted by the Mayans, savages that were good at building advanced atronomical equipment out of stone.

When i say advanced, I mean like advanced for 4000 years ago.

anyway, thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the Lunar moon, and they were like half a minute out. On the mayan calendar the world will end on December 21st, Year 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark, it's likely that they've hit the nail on the head on when everyone's going to burn.

also... more on the Year 2012.... please read on.

Ill go onto explaining SunStorms... Solar experts from around the world who have all been monitoring the sun have made a suprising discovery: the Suns having a bad time at the moment, how can i put it... the amount of energy that is being let out of the sun isn't very stable, with recent solar storms bombarding the earth with so much radiation, it's been knocking out power grids and obliteration satellites. The activity is predicted to get worse, and calculations suggest it'll reach its deadly peak sometime in the year 2012...

But wait... even more to read...
Oh ho... the Atom Smasher, some oh so clever scientists have been building the world's largest particle accelerator. Basically its a 27km tunnel designed to smash atoms together to find out what makes the Universe tick. However, the iwoot wet dream has cause some serious concern, with some scientists suggesting that it's a bad idea even tiurning it on in the first place. they're predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black holes. so when this machine is fired up for its first serious experiment is the year 2012, the world could be crushed into a super-dense blob the size of a basketball.

lol, even the bible is against us...

Interpretations of the christian bible reveal that the date for armageddon, the final batlle between good and evil, has been pre-booked for the year 2012. the chinese book of changes, just so happens to say the same thing, as do various sections of hindu teachings.

supposedly, the poles (north and south) seem to bit of swapping around every 750,000 years or so - and right about now, we're 30,000 years late, and according to the speed the poles are drifting appart each year (20-30kms, which is quite fast)... once they have moved far enough we'll lose the magnetic layer stopping a deadly supply of UV rays from crisping our skins...

I found this one quite funny...
Some physicists at Berekely University have been crunching the numbers... and they're determined that the earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. What's even worse, they're claming their calculations prove, that we're all going to die, very, very soon - while also saying their prediction comes with a certainty of 99% - and 2012 is their best guess of when it's all going to happen....

end of the Internet? end of the fucking world mate....

Please, do not take any of this seriously. this was just meant for general chit chat, this post was not meant to scare anyone and I personally belive that the world is not going to end in the year 2012, the american's will kill us all off much, much sooner than that.
