What Would You Do If You Were Banned
<div class="IPBDescription">forever from the internet and computer</div> Lets say the government or some superior power beyond your reason, banned you and others like you from the computer and internet for life. Now, would it be hell or would it be another good excuse that you didn't complete your homework?
Would you revolt, and with your fellow interneters, overthrow the government, etc?
For me, I would probably go insane for a couple weeks, then get the grip of life and do stuff. I would have more time to do other things, but what other things?

Can you say "Insurrection"?
I'd go insane, rebel against the government, probably end up cheating on my girlfriend with many different girls as the computer is the one thing that keeps me in my room and then i'd calm down and just wipe out my campus with a home-built nuclear weapon.
Mmmhmmm. Can't you taste the plutonium?
Oh carp I just remembered I CANT SWIM OH NOES
100% class! HA!

I'd pat myself on the back and say my world domination plan worked, albeit with a few undesirable side effects <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Seriously, I'd probably just read some books and go out Salsa dancing more often.
My own ISP.
And my own computer of generic parts.
Than i can go on to teh net.
The nukeaquix or winlike?
Marik Steele, would you like to join forces? I could defend your base with my perfect baobabs of doom.
I hope your place has internet, but if it's dial-up, you can just kill me off right now!
and then hold people hostage with them until the gov't granted me access to the net.
Or help my friend with her plan to rule the world.

No need for worries about bandwidth. I'll make sure that at some point in the process of taking the entire globe's bandwidth and giving it to me, I'll make a big red button on my desk.
Instead of being my missile-launch button, it'll be a big button that says:
"Pr355 H3R3 2 D0wNL04d t3h 3nt1ar een7arw3b!!!!111oneoneeleventhousandelevenhundredandeleven." I'll then store all 5 dodecabytes of this backup on copyright-protected proprietary technology, so anyone who wishes to have nostalgic experiences of what the internet once was will have to pay through the nose for "DVD-leet" compatible drives.
I suppose a lifetime supply of baobab seeds <i>could</i> be a reasonable form of currency for such a transaction.
[edit]As a sidenote, I am positively <i>convinced</i> that if Bill Gates doesn't already have a "download the entire internet" button on his desk, he is in the process of inventing it.

Should be interesting. Do you have a 5 google hard drive that can fit it all?
