I've invested the money I saved
by remaining a compassionate conservative modem lackey - in a carrier pigeon farm.
Time to plan for contingencies..

So...
You're planning on implementing the first live [link|http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1149.txt|RFC 1149] network? Alternately known as CPIP (Carrier Pigeon Internet Protocol)...

Prec\ufffdsamente caballero..
Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle..
Yes, I remember that one; lost link - thanks.
But we shall employ a method so advanced that these wimpy script-kiddies could never imagine it, for they are constitutionally unable to.. fit the techno- to the task
(As in - why buy a PC Jr.? to Do Your Recipes.. er, Mom..)
We shall employ a small tube with a graphite-mixture in center, rice paper, a magnifier-light and
[\ufffd]
We shall write with actual hands/fingers, as we relearn what hands were designed for. (PGP? lemon juice and a 000 nib)

You are behind the times...
That's [link|http://www.blug.linux.no/rfc1149/writeup.html|been done].
On Linux of course.
What did you expect? To see cutting edge geek research like this being done on Windows?
Cheers,
Ben

Give me a break...
If you're going to do that, you might as well take the shortwave radio operator exam and do X.25 packet switching over ham radio.
It's my understanding that you don't have to do the morse code part of the license anymore, either.

Careful, you're thinking logically again.
See: lectronic communication has brought us the 24/7 workday, 2-weeks a year vacations (mostly taken as a few long weekends) - 2 paychecks + childcare to manage the er inconveniece of there being a life other than at the office. Frantic scurrying about as techno adds more and more pointless things to do, just to walk in place at pre-'75 adjusted incomes.
Pigeons OTOH represent a time before techno- for its own sake, supplanted any human qualities remaining in the [employment units]. A time when construction of TLAs was not deemed an actual occupation, and language was not edited by Word's 'thesaurus' - to eliminate 'unpleasant associations' (see another post).
So you see? Pigeon-488 just might save the remnants of civilization from further robotification (in language and deed). If it comes in time, that is.
As our Selected pResident says: yer either For Us or Agin Us! (Remember too: the Department of Pigeon Relations.. may have to visit you at your home)
(A friendly reminder to a potential backsliding Lectronic Lackey, for your comfort and convenience.)

Umm... If you have any pull with the DPR
could you have them stay the hell away from my car? Biological warfare should not be used domestically, even against suspected political slackers...
