Fidonet!

Ok, I tried that, and it errored out saying something about the Home partition being full. Could somebody just e-mail me a winzipped copy?

src2pkg internet.tar.gz
It's very useful, that src2pkg. I forget who it was who created it...:)
:) Unfortunately, it won't compile

Code:
gazl@slack:~/Projects$ cd internet
gazl@slack:~/Projects/internet$ make all
make funnycats.avi
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/gazl/Projects/internet'
make[1]: `funnycats.avi' is up to date.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gazl/Projects/internet'
make: *** No rule to make target `enough_porn', needed by `internet'.  Stop.

You need to install porn-0.0.69-noarch-2.tgz.

This is the post-free, er, post-911 world. Liberty is a threat to fatherland, er, homeland security.

To be really secure, all forms of human communication must be banned: spoken, written, electronic, sign-language, smoke-signals, drums, facial expressions, and whatever else.

Security is a right. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are privileges. Because the legal injustice system says so. Man's law supersedes natural/God's law.

I think one has to realize that there is no spoon :)

Al gore wrote the source code for the internets as we all know. I'm pretty sure it was paul reubens that wrote the slackbuild.

Well, srcpkg has finished creating the package, but its' 'lint' functionality threw up a lot of warning messages about hidden files, dirs and files with 'unusual' permissions and it was unable to find any man-pages in the sources. I did have to pass the EXTRA_CONFIGS='--disable-gnome' -otherwise the dependencies would have been hell! The program seems to be really slow to load and run, though -I guess it has something do with being based on KDE4...

I visited a page that allowed me to download the Internet back in the nineties. After a while I got an error message saying my harddisk was full and that I had to insert a floppy. I didn't have any floppy available so I had to abort. Thats a shame as I believe it would be easier to get a full copy by doing an incremental upgrade. Its so large now, and I can't download it all at the moment.

Slightly disturbingly, in a matrix-y kind of way, there is an alternative reality in which this is all real. It is called google who mirror a large chunk of the internet, although I don't think that the command they use is dd...

We should all meet up, at the time we realize the internet is truly done for, at the.... LIBRARY!

Back to the basics...

Boy what a shock it would be to the people in the library to all of a sudden be flooded by people who aren't snotty kids looking at myspace on their computers, or playing tetris, and instead had some crazy people like those who frequent LQ-GD march in and begin discussing the next logical hypothetical topic..

Should we blow up the libraries?

That'd raise some eyebrows, for sure.

Perhaps we could petition for the creation of a "General Discussion" area of the library? I know talking is generally frowned upon in such a place, so we could instead use old tech projectors and the like, and simply write everything out as usual.
