Vint Cerf: 'The Internet Is For Everyone'

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pay-as-you-go dept.

Joel Rowbottom writes "Vint Cerf has written a damn fine RFC (3271), entitled 'The Internet Is For Everyone'. It's a good, well-balanced document which details the 'Internet Society's ideology' about the growth of the 'Net, where we can go now, and where we might be in some years' time. Worth a read."

    The Internet is for everyone except when it's just for Slashdot. (Poor, poor site...)

    Look! It's sunny out! It's warm outside!

    I bet a lot of geeks are heading out into the Big Blue Room to enjoy the enhanced weather that is out there on the East coast right now.

    ...until the site you want to use gets slashdotted. And right when I was just about to look up a different RFC (2321 FWIW), too.

  6. New kind of proof by Yarn · · Score: 3, Funny

    We've had proof by example, intimidation, vigorous handwaving, cumbersome notation, exhaustion, obfuscation, picture, vehement assertion and appeal to intuition.

    Now we have 'proof by reference to google'
