Back in the day, when protocols were more trusting we would play games by storing data archives in other people's SMTP queues. Open the connection and send a message to yourself by bouncing it through a remote server, but wait to accept the returning email message until you wanted the data back. As long as you pulled it back in before it times out on that queue and looped it back out to the remote SMTP queue you could store several hundred MB (which was a lot of data at the time) in uuencoded chunks spread out across the NSFNet.
I watch these things and I begin to realize I'll never be as intelligent as someone like this. It's good to know no matter how much you're grown there is always a bigger fish.
I agree that there will always be smarter fish, but you can definitely be this smart it just takes the proper motivation ( or weird idea ) to wiggle its way into your brain.

What part of the video discusses this? :D So far it’s about juggling chainsaws
Edit: OK, I see where this is going. Lol
