The network ___ the computer – Scott McNealy
The future is already here. It’s just not ______ – William Gibson
…I took _____ in creating the Internet – Al Gore (See here for the actual quote in context.)
“The Net interprets censorship as damage and ________.” John Gilmore
On the Internet no one ____ you’re a ____ – Peter Steiner
As always, all entries will be routed around as if they were damage…unless we can ascertain that they came from a genuine dog.
