What the internet was made for.

I stole that from another FReeper.

I think someone should have had the decency to tell me the luncheon was free. To make someone run out with potato salad in his hand, pretending he's throwing up, is not what I call hospitality.

he First person ever to use the Internet was Charley Kline at UCLA on the ARPANET.

However, as he tried logging in, the first attempt resulted in the system crashing as the letter G of LOGIN was entered. (October 29, 1969)

Wow...you KNEW this?! I'm impressed! :-)

[hiredhand]

OOOH! Now's THAT is most definitely a bunny with a pancake on its head! :-)

Great! Because I'm a TCP in the TCP/IP but there're a lot of IP's, so now I'm trying to be a quality TCP/IP.

Ah yes! Transmission Control Protocol! Session oriented! PAR!...Positive Acknowlegement with Response! So much like UDP, which is more like fire and forget. I wonder if we could be classified as TCP, but DUers be UDP?

Oh boy...this has great potential for digressing into good geek discussion. :-)

I had to leave this thread twice because I was laughing too hard. Thanks for the eye-wash.

If you're ever alone and a streetwalker with huge eyes suddenly jumps out and grabs you by the arm and says, "Tell me what you know about the gemstones!" You should maintain a look of sadness and say, "Haven't you heard? They're already in place." If he lets go of your arm right away fine. If he doesn't, get ready, because he's about to go berserk.

Are there 'more of her' where she comes from?
And where are examples of women like her found?

[JesseHousman]

Hello friends. I live in New York. Need I say more? I am very happy to be here.

[JimWforBush]

I'd like to know as well.

[SlowBoat407]

I live in New York. Need I say more?

How could you possibly follow that?

[Darksheare]

I know!

[OLordWhatNow]

I used to live in San Francisco. You'd think that was worse, but lo and behold, New York City trumped 'em. I think it is the combination of whacked leftist reactionary politics and the obnoxiousness of a New Yorker that creates that oh so charming scent.

[SlowBoat407]

I was in New York for six years. Long enough for me for a lifetime.

"to reveal the patters"

the pitter patter of little liberal feet?

I would never call fellow FReepers UDPeepers, you're correct it's a term for DUcreepers. To late, where's the Dungeons/Dragons....
