It's antennas - not, "antennae"; those belong on bugs...

US English is horrible on following rules. Another example is double negatives - "I ain't doing nothing" should mean "I am doing something" not "I am doing nothing". How hard is it to understand things like this? Maybe is the US English is called Americanish or something, these could be okay in the "new" language!; Like this

by hawkeyeaz1 June 8, 2009 12:08 PM PDT: The average webpage is about 20Kb or so. There are about 1 trillion web pages (ok, a little more, but not a lot more). 20Kb * 10,00,000,000 is about 21Tb (1Kb = 1024bytes, 1024K is 1M, 1024Mb is 1Gb, 1024Gb is 1Tb). So yes.

But, then again. Google has the entire web in memory.; Like this
