More playing around in cyberspace

Some more things unearthed (is that the right word?), courtesy of the WayBack Machine.


And a special prize: a QuickTime movie showing a very important moment in the first episode. To my astonishment, I was able it to download to RealPlayer. And it works. Kinda crude, but it works. Good Lord.

It was implied Nick had a drug problem. He had an "addiction" that was handled by locking him in his house and sliding him fruit roll-ups, but it was never made clear what that addiction was.

The .exe piece you downloaded for the NeoPlanet browser skin is no more than a placeholder, from what I can tell. Almost nothing useful can be present in 5 KB, not even an over-the-Web download manager.

Tools of massive destruction, though, can be placed in far smaller packages, so I would delete it without running it.

I've never run into any genuine executable file having made it through the archive.org mill. They avoid archiving such programs.

If any such downloads actually worked and were booby-trapped with virii, or otherwise misbehaved, Big Fat Lawsuits could ensue, which could wreck such a non-profit entity.

(That incomplete page, by the way, was for the "DarLa.com," cap L, browser skin. MTV not caring very much, part XCVIII.)
