I think Stephen Nortucutt said it best when addressing the question of
what a DMZ really is.  From where does the term come from?  Tha classic
example is found in that dead piece of real estate between North and
South Korea.

I'm generally not one to go off splitting hairs, but I think it is
important to come away with the understanding at the very least that a
screened subnet is NOT the classic definition of a DMZ.  It is merely a
screened subnet.

I think that the message is very clear here: somewhere outside of and beyond our universe is
an operating system, coded up over incalculable spans of time by some kind of hacker-demiurge.
The cosmic operating system uses a command-line interface. It runs on something like a
teletype, with lots of noise and heat; punched-out bits flutter down into its hopper like
drifting stars. The demiurge sits at his teletype, pounding out one command line after
another, specifying the values of fundamental constants of physics:

universe -G 6.672e-11 -e 1.602e-19 -h 6.626e-34 -protonmass 1.673e-27....

and when he's finished typing out the command line, his right pinky hesitates above the ENTER
key for an aeon or two, wondering what's going to happen; then down it comes--and the WHACK
you hear is another Big Bang.
