Folks at Engadget are pretty smart, but they just don't know how to whack it.
In an article paraphrasing Tim Berners-Lee, the man apparently having to do more with creating the World Wide Web than Al Gore, recently revealed that his only regret is that folks are forced to type out the, essentially unnecessary, double forward slash to begin a network path or URL.
So my fav folks at Engadget got all that right but missed the opportunity to use one of my favorite terms "whack, whack" used by IT pros to refer to the double forward slashes . So when your networking guy says "whack, whack", don't be scared. He's not signaling his plans to do a mobster mash up on you. Trust me though, he's capable of it.
