Where "is" money to begin with? Surely you're not talking about cash (which has an obvious location), you can't really use that on the internet. Maybe you could say that money "is in the bank", but the bank doesn't have cash lying around to represent the value of your bank account. It's just a number. So does money even exist at all? And if not, does the question where it goes to even make sense? Also, your money is sent through big tubes (the internets!) straight into the vaults of rich people.

You don't pay money for the internet. It's still a free resource. You pay money for the telecommunications infrastructure, electricity, etc. If everyone stopped paying then the people employed either directly or indirectly will lose their jobs. I take it that you enjoy anarchy.

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein -
What this message has to do with this forum? I kindly request you to have a close look on how the codeproject works and then only post the thread.But yes, please don't post such CHILDISH questions. This is similar to where the fuel goes after Aeroplane flies. Have a look here : How Internet Infrastructure Works[^]

Oh wait, my mistake, he did actually. It came to him when he was conjuring up "global warming" and he decided to run with both in his hands like sharp scissors until he tripped and fell on them in a tragic embarrassment.

Indeed, those were his last words before all credibility danced out the window like a fresh breath of two of the necessities for life on this planet, oxygen and carbon dioxide.

So you know that the backbone of the internet is carrier pigeons, and the telephone exchange is stuffed full of the little darlin's. When you "post" a message it is transcribed, attached to a pigeon and sent to the exchange nearest the website. It's response returns the same way. SO what do you think pays for all the bird seed if it isn't the money you pay for the internet?
Yeah. I know I'm a bit late about that. But I was out of the office much of last week :D However this reminded me of this: Google Pigeon Rank[^] :laugh:

Well it's the same as the money you pay for your telephone service. It funds the businesses that maintain the systems on which the internet runs. What did you think, that the entire system runs on thin air?

Mine runs on fat air... I've asked it to start working out again and cut back on fast food. :cool:

...I must sadly report that a lot of these carrier pigeons end up in my city... they mustve lost track of where they were going. :sigh:

Maybe you do not understand this but these three letters ISP[^], do a lot more than get you a valid access point.
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet. The interesting thing about software is it can not reproduce, until it can.

He never claimed he did. ref[^] It was just political buzz used to burn him. And the fact that people to this day still think he claimed that shows it worked. Simple fact is though, he never claimed that.

And I didn't claim that he claimed to. It was a silly joke in a silly thread.

And I did not claim that you claimed that he claimed to. Just pointing out the facts :)

More to the point as far as I am concerned - why do so many people expect everything to be free nowadays? I write open source software and have a donation feature - after around 350,000 downloads of one of the applications I have had around 5 donations. That's why I use 'crappy advertising' if you don't want to pay for a service then expect to either get advertising or rubbish.
