The 20th Anniversary of the Internet

Ross Finlayson writes "In a message posted to the IETF general mailing list, Bob Braden reminds us that, on January 1st, 2003, 20 years will have passed since "the most logical date of origin of the Internet [...] when the ARPANET officially switched from the NCP protocol to TCP/IP". And the rest is history..."

    Just like a liberal to support the further demise of the global society with an incredibly addictive technology. After all, the Internet is nothing more than deviant lawbreakers who share P0RN, MP3's, and Pipebomb making instructions.

    Way to go Al!!!!

    You want to know the real reason Al didn't run?

    Answer: 'Four" rhymes with 'Gore', and the chant would have been, "No more Gore in 2004!" :)

    Ok, back to the New Years party... Pass me the wine!

    Dunno why I'm replying, cuz it won't do any good anyway...

    i'm a dem sympathizer (i would sooner admit being a miami dolphins fan too), and have voted more dems than backwards racists party.

    For the record (dig out your history books if you doubt me), the dixiecrats, segregationists all, split from the democratic party, not the republicans. George Wallace (Boo! Boo! Boo!) was a democrat, too. Lincoln, the guy who set the black man free, was a republican.

    Lott? His racist years were spent as a democrat, and he dropped his views when he joined up with the republicans.

    Ok, class, repeat after me... democrats are the rasicts, republicans never were.
