@nemobis "Bots hadn’t been invented yet" in 1994? GEEZE THE IGNORANCE OF THIS ASSHOLE.

ELIZA was invented in 1966.

RFC 439: PARRY encounters the DOCTOR was 1973.

So-called "bots" have been online longer than HTTP.

The advertising industry is a leech.

Bill Hicks was too kind IMHO, people were still laughing at him. @jdp23

I remember lovely #warez bots on EFNet from right about then. They may not have been great conversationalists, but they delivered cracked Microprose, so who cared!

@Shufei a friend in high school used to have a "game" wherein the goal was to collect shells in as many countries as possible.

What to do with the shells?

Create private hidden directories.

Potentially patch df and du to report disk space differently to root users? ;)

Set up (X)DCC bots.

Serve warez.

Good sort of friend to have for all sorts of reasons. ;)

@byterhymer Haha, that sounds like a fun contest game, really. But indeed even better to have the shell accounts in pocket for rainy days. Did your friend ever figure out the disk space hack?

@Shufei possibly? We met up last year (we live in different states these days) but didn't talk much about those days.

Something to ask for another time!
