Good idea

Did you know that:
rgrep -ri " nsa " .|wc -l
in /usr/src/linux returns "20" ?
Im using 2.5.66.

And fyi, I did some searches on the website, and in the history, no mention of army or military as far as I could tell

Cool

Actully MasterCLQ... The Internet was first created by the military as a form of faster communication for battle. It took to long to gte the information across so w/ the internet they could transfer messages about troop movements at a much faster pace

cuckoopint · 04-11-2003, 05:38 PM

Actually Nefarious, I think he was referring to pine.

you're right about the net, though....
