How did pam bondi even fit that on her desk?

And then how did it accidentally go missing making people think that they never existed?

I used to be an app developer before I burnt out and started a distillery

I had some software that I owned and built which had a couple of customers. I struggled to make it a commercial success but they rely on it.

It needed a big update.

Instead of just dumping it, I make it open source, with a licence that says they can do anything they want with it, so long as they don't commercialise it and try to sell it (it's designed to be internal business software so use that no probs) and they need to contribute any changes back to the source code..

I think it was the fair thing to do, plus it stops me needing to support it and they can see what the road ahead of fixing it is like.

I'm gonna ignore non internet based methods. Here is the evolution imo

  1. BBS
  2. Usenet & warez websites
  3. Server client setups (Hotline etc)
  4. P2P without resuming (Napster etc)
  5. P2P W/resume & multiple sources (Kazaa, LimeWire etc)
  6. Torrents
  7. Streaming torrents
  8. Usenet

Edit: I'm seeing IRC a lot, not sure where it fits in this list. Assume it's around no 2.
