1. Intranet

Popular in the mid-90s, the term "intranet" referred to a private network running the Internet Protocol and other Internet standards such as the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). It was also used to describe an internal Web site that was hosted behind a firewall and was accessible only to employees. Today, every private network runs IP. So you can just use the term virtual private network or VPN to describe a private IP-based network

The entertainment doesn't end there...

Sometimes the freedom of speech would be more appropriately described as the freedom to say stupid things....

    I just don't understand how you could be so wrong about so much. I don't fault her for not being an expert on this stuff, but why would you bother to write an article on a subject you are so out of touch with?

    Actually, you should do a web search on her, or look at her LinkedIn profile. She's been a technical journalist for quite some time for some big name mags. There's really not a good excuse for this.

    Now I just need to take a deep breath and figure out what to say... Maybe I'll write her back in all binary... I'll tell her its the latest techy thing to do.
