Robin Hanson is breaking the Internet.

No GravatarVia Gawker (which I&#8217-m paraphrasing), the New York Times warns us that there might not be enough Internet left for the rest of us!

In a widely cited report published last November, a research firm projected that user demand for the Internet could outpace network capacity by 2011.

It&#8217-s true: there is only so much Internet, and Robin Hanson and his folks at OvercomingBias.com (a boring philosophy blog, where the prof blablates on angels&#8217- gender with his students) are using like all of it. Look at the damming evidence, the trend shows clearly that the implosion of the known Universe is next:

Maybe the gullible and intrepid Robin Hanson fanboys will take comfort in the fact, reminded to us by Gawker, that engineer Robert Metcalfe predicted in 1995 that the Internet would suffer from a &#8220-catastrophic collapse&#8221- in 1996. :-D
