More People I’m Sick Unto Death Of

29 May 2009 / Hostile Witness

As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
     I’ve got a little list–I’ve got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
     And who never would be missed–who never would be missed!

— W.S. Gilbert, The Mikado

People who use the word “bandwidth” to mean “time,” as in “I’ll see if Sally has the bandwidth to handle that.”

Analog signals have bandwidth, communication channels have bandwidth . . . people don’t have bandwidth.
