Q3. Karath, how many characters do you think http://www.w3.org/ has?
A3. Hmm ... oh, several thousand I should think.
Q4. Karath, how much memory do you think http://www.w3.org/ has?
A4. Huh?
Q3. Victor, how much memory do you think http://www.w3.org/ has?
A3. Hmm ... oh, half a gig or at a guess.
Q4. Victor, how many characters do you think http://www.w3.org/ has?
A4. Huh?
Q5. Karath, when I asked Victor how many characters http://www.w3.org/
has he didn't understand the question, but he thought that it had
about half a gig of memory. Do you still think you're both talking
about the same thing?
A5. Err ... guess not, he must have been talking about the web server.
Q5. Victor, when I asked Karath how much memory http://www.w3.org/
has she didn't understand the question, but she thought that it had
several thousand characters. Do you still think you're both
talking about the same thing?
A5. Err ... guess not, she must have been talking about the HTML
document.
Cheers,
Miles
