<anvar> a life?
<anvar> i heard they were overrated
<Punk-Kitty> Whats this ‘Life’ thing I keep hearing about?
<krzyk> massive multiplayer online rpg
<krzyk> not worth playing
<Aristan> the graphics are bad, the terrain seems to repeat an awful lot, there’s no save points, getting healed is expensive as hell, everyone camps, and you’re fucked if you need someone to cast Resurrection. The roll for that has worked ONCE and that was 2000 cycles ago.

Predicting the Internet’s catastrophic collapse
Almost all of the many predictions now being made about 1996 hinge on the Internet’s continuing exponential growth. But I predict the Internet, which only just recently got this section here in InfoWorld, will soon go spectacularly supernova and in 1996 catastrophically collapse. Here’s why there soon will be only World Wide Web ghost pages.
