Apparently, I know enough to keep hosting my website on the server in the next room:

I too scored average – 79%. But the very first question was about who founded Myspace, so I was pretty cynical about the whole remainder after that.

Here’s a surprise.

Well, I throw my lot in with Opie. It was a quiz about history, not about interneting.
Had it been about networking, it would have had questions such as “What does 404 mean?” (It means “page not found.”)
I can make a webpage dance. I don’t need to know who sent the first email to do that.

My bone was not so much with the history, as with what the first question was over the history of: Myspace. To me, that’s like starting a quiz for car buffs by asking them what colors the Dodge Aries came in: who flippin’ cares?
