Telnet

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Probably the best way to connect to another machine and get a remote shell. Also the only manly way, as SSH is for faggot Linux pussies.

[edit] History of Telnet

Telnet was made official and became part of the superior ARPANet in 1980, around long before the general WWW and Internets. Long before the world was plagued by blogs and teenage girls with LiveJournals, cool people used telnet to communicate with each other.

A typical response when attempting to telnet in. People are such pussies.

Telnet is completely unencrypted and thus make a perfect gift wrap for your docs. This ensures the fastest possible connection and lowest overhead, since encryption just wastes CPU and makes more packets. Believe me, you aren't important enough to be sniffed.

[edit] Current Uses for Telnet

• Accessing your kick ass homepage via UNIX shell
• Hacking the system of the Linux pussy that first wrote this crap article
