The Most Useless Three Letters
What would you answer if I asked you what the most useless, pointless, mind-numbingly stupid three letters that people utter left and right were, what would you answer? (No, I don’t mean ‘g’, ‘o’, ‘d’!)
Of course it’s “www”. Do those people that still put these letters in front of every web address (and non-web addresses too!) they give out have any idea what they represent? Do they know that there’s nothing special or magical about the “www”? How many of them actually have different server machines on their domains that they need to specify the sub-domain name as well? Heck, even different server types on different machines does not completely justify a sub-domain specification; they have to have different web servers with different content (or the same content but with no automatic load balancing mechanism) to warrant their use of “www”. In my book, the only group of people that are as stupid as these indiscriminate users of the “www” prefix are those claustrophobic cretins that rush the airplane aisles and doorways as soon as it touches the tarmac.
Please people. Use your heads. Most of the time, it takes more time to pronounce the “www” than to say the actual address. Drop the “www”.
Besides, each time you say or write “www”, you use energy, which more accurately means you are converting energy from a more usable, less chaotic form to a less usable one with more entropy (usually heat.) Therefore, you are irreversibly increasing the entropy of the whole universe and making “the end” jump forward. Don’t do that.
(The only understandable reason for wanting the end of the universe closer would be for a chance to dine at Milliway’s, which I don’t recommend myself.)
