[22:58] 40 years after launch, copies of the Voyager Golden Records are for sale.
[22:35] While DownloadMoreRAM.com is a jest, german car manufacturer Porsche is actually considering to offer horsepower as DLC:

[20:32] Another reason to block scripts anywhere, anytime: 482 of the world's top 50k websites have keyloggers embedded. This happens when you give up control of your website and allow third parties to have you load whatever.

* * script block written in the temporary rules, then saved. Works fine.

[20:47] TTTThis asks wether we remember websites. The discussion on Hacker News links to a handful of interesting classic websites. No references to the tildeverse, however.
[20:09] Here's a visualization of the sound of dial up. (see also)
[20:16] Tristan da Cunha is the most remote inhabited island. They actually do have access to the internet there. Read about current news on communications and news from 2006 through 2013.
