And somewhere to spend it?

Even the CIA claim not to know if anyone on Pitcairn has an internet
connection

Although the government has a web site and an email address.

Great link. Lots of interesting stuff there if you go to a certain country.
I looked at the Cayman Islands and looked up mortality figures. Interesting.
Thanks again,

Nice link. The only thing is doesn't show (which might interest
chucktard) is "countries with _no_ access."

The Vatican is not listed. And, according to this following link, does
not meet the eight criteria for being a country, and is rather an
"Independent State."

The country of Monaco has two ISPs.

How many countries are there? 195

...and 229 of them have internet access!! <lol>

All it takes is a connection to a server, and you have usenet access?
Huh?

By definition, any computer can be a server.

So if I'm in the middle of nowhere - literally - with nothing but two
computers, a generator, router, ethernet cables, etc - I have a
network. One of the computer is a server. Does that mean I have USENET
access?

Maybe you meant something like "All it takes is an internet
connection."

In the context of this discussion, I suspect that the poster meant a
connection to a news server.

Nothing interests that tard. He's wrong. Always. Full stop. And even
when he's proven wrong, he's still right.
