Startup Webaroo to put the 'Web on a Hard Drive'?

An anonymous reader writes "A new startup called Webaroo is launching Monday with an audacious proposition: You can search the Web without a net connection of any kind. Initial release consists of 'Web packs' on specific topics such as news, city guides or Wikipedia. Later this year they're promising a full-Web version that you can carry on a laptop -- provided you're willing to devote something in the neighborhood of 80 gig."

    Hahah...responding to an automatically generated compliant-letter shows just how blindly you follow Bush. Heil Bush!!

    Did you not see the link to the site that generates these right above them? Did you see the comment jokingly suggest using Bush's name to make one? No of course not, you didn't even read the thread before jumping on the oppotunity to spew anti Democratic Party garbage.

    The truth is all parties and politicians suck. They are the blood sucking leeches on societies wallet. We don't need politicians in office we need citizens. It's time to think outside of the party system. It has been failing us for years and is just getting worse. For the last 20 years our government has been locked up by these two childish parties. And instead of putting our foot down and saying "Enough is enough, get to fucking work already!" We stand around and get caught up in the game they feed us. We let them walk all over us. It's time for change! It's time to get rid of this electoral voting system that ignores a large percentage of the voters views and reinstate the popular vote so our voices can be heard again. This county will continue to deteriorate until we are once again a country for the people, by the people. Give us our country back or we will take it back!

    (ahhh...that felt good!)
