gollark: So in theory (I said this to them, and apparently I wouldn't have enough time to cheat so it didn't matter, which would have been wrong as I in fact had lots of spare time) you could access the internet by manually sending HTTP requests from python and parsing the HTML, yes.
gollark: They "block internet access" by stopping the browsers opening. However, we can access python for obvious reasons, and python has built-in HTTP libraries.
gollark: Talking of great exam systems, I had a computer science exam today at school, and they do them partly on computers (nobody wants to write code on paper).
gollark: Nobody seemed to care or notice when someone found that Intel's ring interconnect thing was usable for similar covert channel stuff *and* actual side channel attacks.
