    So i have a nice little story to share with you guys

    A few weeks ago a friend of mine was in a competion called "useless utility" Basiclly they most useless utility program for a computer won, and indeed he did win. He created a program that would download the internet. As he lives in the woods he cant get a good internet connection, he as a 1Mbit DSL and often get dissconnects and so on, so he decided that he would create a program to download the internet so that he could surf the web even if the internet went down and basiclly what the programm did was to query a preset range of IP addresses and if there was a webserver behind it the program would echo download everyting on the webserver and store it on hes server wich he could surf trough from a single index.html in the root folder. indeed it's a useless utility but still quite fun. Now he can have internez even without a connection :p

    Anyway, I don't think it is that useless, it is useful for UN-Dynamic websites "Static HTML Websites", Not for Dynamic Webs, like Search Engines, etc..
