typeof is a keyword in gcc, so you can't (by default) use it as the
name of a function.  There is some option to turn of typeof as a
keyword, but I don't remember it at the moment.



No.  Internet is (simply speaking) the physical network that connects
the machine to each other and the protocols they use to actually talk
to each other.  Internet gives you FTP, telnet, rlogin, etc.

Usenet is a way for computers to exchange "articles".  It doesn't have
anything to do with how the exchange is really done, it only says that
a text file that looks like so and so is an article.  Usenet is a
network only in a theoretical sense, it consists of no wires, modems,
or other hardware.  Usenet uses some other (real, physical) "network"
for the exchange, e.g. Internet, two computers linked via a null-modem
cable, or a modem, or by somebody who carries floppies here and there.

(The above is simplistic, but hopefully gives the correct impression.)
