 If you were being prevented from posting, start posting. Start a thread, say 
something interesting, tell us something we didn't ! know, give us an insight

 If you can't manage a whole thread you can share brain cells until you've

of participation and one line posts that add nothing that infest this place.

 Software development would come to a halt.  These days a programmer's right 
hand man is the Internet.  Instead of books you look up how to solve a 
programming problem by looking it up online.  Of course we'd have to go back to 
selling software in boxes at stores and mailing out discs with updates.  That 
is if anyone bothered to turn on their computers again.
 

 It's lucky for us it's all fairly hypothetical.
 

 But what if some terrorist group could create a virus so evil it took down the 
web for a month. Would civilisation survive?
 

 Shops wouldn't get food, shipping would stop, power regulation relies on 
information gathered and passed over the net. Probably everything in the modern 
world is connected in some way.
 

 It's lucky that ISIS are more intent on buying nuclear weapons than good 
programmers

 Image what you'd do without the Internet.
 

 Can't imagine life without it. But it would probably be like when I used to go 
travelling and I'd miss the TV and phone for about half a minute before 
adjusting.
 
 
 The web has always been like a newsagents to me. Mostly for browsing the 
magazines and trying to decide what camera/bike to buy. But it does avoid the 
tedious going down the library and looking through a catalogue to find the 
right book to order if I want to know how far it is to the Andromeda galaxy, 
and then wait two weeks for delivery. Much easier with Wikipedia.

Software development would come to a halt.  These days a programmer's 
right hand man is the Internet. Instead of books you look up how to 
solve a programming problem by looking it up online.  Of course we'd 
have to go back to selling software in boxes at stores and mailing out 
discs with updates. That is if anyone bothered to turn on their 
computers again.

The web has always been like a newsagents to me. Mostly for browsing

memory, after forgetfulness of memory, the loss of spiritual
intelligence, and losing spiritual intelligence, one perishes'.

Both, Barry and Judy are no longer posting here. I also
losing my inclination to post here.

Is it time for Rick to shut down FFL? Nothing lasts forever.
All things must end.

If Barry were around he would have quoted Nietzsche

Software development would come to a halt.  These days a programmer's

have to go back to selling software in boxes at stores and mailing out 
discs with updates. That is if anyone bothered to turn on their 
computers again.


It's lucky for us it's all fairly hypothetical.

But what if some terrorist group could create a virus so evil it took 
down the web for a month. Would civilisation survive?


Shops wouldn't get food, shipping would stop, power regulation relies 
on information gathered and passed over the net. Probably everything 
in the modern world is connected in some way.


It's lucky that ISIS are more intent on buying nuclear weapons than 
good programmers

Image what you'd do without the Internet.

Can't imagine life without it. But it would probably be like when I 
used to go travelling and I'd miss the TV and phone for about half a 
minute before adjusting.


The web has always been like a newsagents to me. Mostly for browsing 
the magazines and trying to decide what camera/bike to buy. But it 
does avoid the tedious going down the library and looking through a 
catalogue to find the right book to order if I want to know how far 
it is to the Andromeda galaxy, and then wait two weeks for delivery. 
Much easier with Wikipedia.

Is this an obituary?

I'm trying hard to shed a tear, but it's just not happening.  (-:

I was pretty positive half of FFL was going to leave as soon as
they found out Doug was going to be the moderator and I said so
to various people. Funnily enough, that didn't happen and
doesn't appear to be going to happen. I guess everyone currently
posting here just can't quite pull themselves away. Part of it
is addiction, part seems to be the love of drama and some of it
seems to be that some consider it their second home. Let's see
who voluntarily unsubscribes first, either in disgust or as a
protest move. I'm pretty sure, if things stay the way they are
currently, that it will be no one. But I like to be surprised.
qu! ot;You can check out any time you like but you can never
(quite) leave.

This place may just fade into the woodwork. It does get
tiresome. I am pretty sure Barry was feeling wearisome about it.
He did post many marvellous things. His not being here seems the
result of a personal vendetta at the hands of the moderator. The
problem with power is it reveals one's corruption. Judy seemed
to lose interest, maybe she just got tired. Her method of
posting did not seem to have changed. Barry challenged people at
the gut level as well as at the intellectual level. The gut
level is much more difficult to respond to because it activates
the lower emotional brain functions, and the intellect goes into
hibernation as a result. You even see this in the Bhagavad-Gita:
