I have had the honor of knowing both some of the people from MIT's World War 2 era Building 20 (mentioned in the Book "Hackers" ) and a number of Linux users. This story sound like exactly what they would delight in doing. BTW IBM's internal Bitnet network was largely built by system admins as an underground project. It was built because it was needed and formed the backbone of IBMs business for many years. This network was larger than the ArpaNet and the Internet for many years. Its core was IBM's VM series of OSes, a system IBM tried to kill off, in favor of its batch based Flagship OS MVS. MVS could barely work as a client OS, IT could not run the core network functions. Yes people actually did stuff like in this story in the real world. They didn't care it was impossible, unsupported and against business and legal rules. I am writing this from a Linux system,, what may be thought od as the Stone Soup clone of Unix.
Anyone else notice a couple of references from "A Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy?" The references concerned have the same humour as the book that inspired them, but it's there
Quantum refers to a discrete unit of a phenomenon. Why so overused in these stories? Rather a disruptive spoiler. Quantum here, quantum there everywhere a quantum thingy !
