    It breaks my heart to see this immaculate piece of ASCII artwork constantly degrade in the hands of insensitive crapflooders. Therefore, I have taken the time to restore it to its former glory.

  10. VPN sort of by idg101 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    There is no logically way of make a new 'Internet'. The physical lines are laid that carry data and they will always be. What we need is another network. A user could choose to log onto the network they wish. The new network, would be regulated though and even independent. Network could compete with each other even. I can only see a sort of VPN currently being setup. I am very intrested in setting up another 'Internet' and would like to become more involved. Can anyone help me?

    What do you think those blue signs next to the interstate with corporate logos on them are? Normal countries have little symbols to indicate road related services, such as gasoline and hotel, at exits. Here we plaster all that ugly stuff up and let people erect huge billboards that blot out the sky. Thank you Bill Clinton, you sellout.
