It's obvious that all analogies are bad -- the Internet is a reality onto itself and cannot, but more importantly *should* not be compared to the physical "3d" reality. Internet has no law of gravity for instance, and certainly no garages. Please, just focus on what is relevant. Perhaps even take one step further back to determine what actually is relevant first. Stop comparing it to arbitrary things. No one lives in a server, so it's certainly not a house. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
