Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Good morning.

I'm watching this cooking show called "Pioneer Woman" with this vapid woman, and she's making scones. Suddenly, while she's doing it, she looks proudly at the camera and says, "There's nothing like a vanilla bean," before going back to what she was doing, with no elaboration or explanation. I'm just thinking, "Well, yeah! There's nothing like a banana or an elephant, either!"

Ugh, and all she does is this ridiculous smile all the time, as if there's nothing underneath that thick skull of hers. I don't know why I'm watching this.

Oh yeah, it's because my Netflix isn't working, anymore. /sigh

I unno. Even if it does though, the modem is all the way downstairs and it would be too much of a hassle to drag a phone line all the way upstairs just to have it work a little better. I can suffer through the cooking shows. I actually like Guy Fieri.

In computer science and in Information and communications technology, the Internet protocol suite is the computer networking model and communications protocols used by the Internet and similar computer networks. It is commonly known as TCP/IP, because its most important protocols, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP), were the first networking protocols defined in this standard. It is occasionally known as the DoD model, because the development of the networking model was funded by DARPA, an agency of the United States Department of Defense.

TCP/IP provides end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be formatted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality has been organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.[1][2] From lowest to highest, the layers are the link layer, containing communication technologies for a single network segment (link), the internet layer, connecting hosts across independent networks, thus establishing internetworking, the transport layer handling host-to-host communication, and the application layer, which provides process-to-process application data exchange.

We have a cable... something or other. Isn't it a phone line that goes from the modem or router to whatever?

Looks like a phone line to me.
