[supernova1965]

What was the first message sent via the internet.:question: I am sure that someone knows. If not I have the answer.;)

[Outbackmanyep]

Years ago I was working on bridge for a freeway extension. The large cable ducts (16 if I remember correctly) run down the middle of South street to Fremantle then off into the ocean. Problem was we had to put three big footings on top of them so it was decided to move them across to one side a bit at a time to minimise disruption. When the day came to expose the cables there were bigwigs everywhere (telecom, main roads, hornibrook you name it). After much sampling and messing around with plans and detection gadgets the excavator operator was told to "dig here". Second bucket was full of cables and wire :D. You had to be there to appreciate the caos that followed as a very large proportion of Perth's communication had been lost. I have never seen so much finger pointing in my life :lol:. Glad I was only an observer.

The second message would have been, "got pix?"

Darth Wader, how are you gentlemen? You have no chance to survive. Make your time. Move zig.

First message over the internet? I reckon it would have been along the lines of "you can save $nn a year by bundling your home phone, etc, all together with us"

;)

[jjjnettie]

I only know this from the text adventure game "Dope Wars".
Where is it from originally?

[troypiggo]

First message was "Hellooooooooo, anyone heeeeeere? Where do I download the porn?"

[supernova1965]

Please put me out of my misery I don't get it I might be slow but no matter how much I think on it I don't get it.:confused2:

[troypiggo]

It's a famous quote from a broken English translation of a cut scene in an old video game. It's even got a Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us).

Go to Youtube and search for "All your base are belong to us" and check out some of the hits. It's quite the phenomenon.

From memory it may have been "LOG" sent between UCLA and other institutions, but in reality I think that noone remembers now.

Here are some links that might be of interest to some...
