"Can I access the network from my program?No, access to the network is blocked."
Ha! There goes my strategy.

As in a strategy for a program to output the first 500 character of Romeo & Juliet? Use HTML (not really a language I know)...

I don't think we're actually doing the R&J one - that was just an example!
When should we start this?

I will be watching but not playing. I like tricksy programming but it's not how my mind works, at all.
(I wrote a quine once! It tooks hours of mental bleeding. I thought it was my homework assignment. Turns out my homework assignment was to write the Pascal equivalent of open (my $fh,'<','ownsourcecode.pl'); print while <$fh> and the teacher obviously thought my obfuscated trickery was a load of retarded nonsense typing.
So yeah, not getting burnt like that again, my first thought for the R+J was that a one-liner cd probably scrape it off gutenberg.org, but not on ideone it seems. But ideone is pretty neat, thanks!)

I'll try and think of a good one and put something up tonight, say one week from when it starts as the deadline?
