[20:12] Let me give you some information, Mr.Einstein
[20:12] WebChat is a BETA TEST Network for a Commercial Conferencing Software company called Webmaster, Inc.
[20:12] http://www.webmaster.com
[20:12] no really?
[20:12] ya dont say
[20:12] Yes.
[20:13] * @ScottK glares at mouse^
[20:13] again, and?
[20:13] interesting
[20:13] its pre alpha servers
[20:13] an ircop
[20:13] So, if we put a new version of our software to test it, we do it
[20:13] correcyt
[20:13] -y
[20:13] shame it's buggy
[20:13] and what's this deal about "infected"????
[20:13] I was under the impression it was more of a SHOWCASE network, but that's just me
[20:13] well
[20:14] * Track sets mode: +c
[20:14] or did you mean "affected"
[20:14] as of now, it seems apple and sauron are still running the old, non-buggy servers
[20:14] infected, affected
[20:14] _Mist_ - let me clue you in
[20:15] I close channels that have said less
[20:15] underlines/bold are now seen as colour
[20:15] but since I respect ChrisP, I'm going to look the other way and hope you'll come to your senses
[20:16] hmm, ok
[20:16] just a minute
[20:16] ScottK take a look at what Track said
[20:16] what you on about man... we didn't do a thing... bold is seen as colour... that's what we find odd
[20:16] bold/underline that kinda stuff
[20:16] which it wasn't
[20:16] * _Mist_ changes topic to 'Webnet are currently using this network as an ALPHA test. If you still want to use servers that are not affected by this, please use sauron or apple, as these seem unaffected for now.'
[20:16] Better?
[20:17] slightly
[20:17] * @ScottK sighs
[20:17] and by that I mean, "acceptable?"
[20:17] * ScottK (scottk@=zpgw-tbnfejcb5g-30.lgvwwa.adelphia.net) has left #lockergnome
[20:17] *ScottK* - ever hear of "biting the hand that feeds you"???
[20:17] ^^ Last one is a pm
Not more X10 ads.
I heard that the internet is on computers now, and computers need power dont they?
It is a logical choice/next step!
But seriously, why even consider this option. I would rather people looking into getting a minimum 1 foot RADIUS (not diameter) fiber optic cable coming into my house. So I can download porn, mp3's, movies, games, software, and mod chip bios's quicker. Because cable is not fast enough to meet my needs. At least I am honest.

You mean you rest of the world.
260 million people using the Imperial Measures, all in the good old U.S.A. The 5.8 billion people, everywhere else (including the rest of the British Empire) using metric.
Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the merger of state and corporate power.

Who writes your bad jokes for you?
I don't think you're paying them enough, because they're not that funny.
Maybe you'd do better with
Power line internet? Does that mean when my sockets break, I need to call an electrician?
Or
So, when I get DDOSed I can _really_ have a firewall to protect me?
See, now, you can do better...
