A Brief History of the Internet
Ant writes "'Many young people around the world use the internet every day, and yet they have no memory of the history that led to the creation of the global network. Many have no understanding of how or why the internet has developed. As part of out continuing efforts to combat ignorance around the world, The Lemon is proud to present this timeline...'"
Where would we be today had Al Gore never invented the internet?
Im dreaming ofa big bndwdth, That can resist the
Stupid male-ass-fucking "funny" karma cuntfaced whore. Burn is hell, bitch. I FUCKING HATE YOU.
They also do not mention Postel, or anyone at BBN, or Vint Cerf, or the guy who chose the @ symbol for email whos name escapes me, or..
In fact, they do not mention anyone who actually built the ARAPNET/Internet. Almost all of them are more important than Tim Berners-Lee, by the way.
Face it, Tim Berners-Lee is not as important a diety as you make him out to be. Before the World Wide Web there was Gopher. Essentially the same thing but without the SGML based markup. Even then, the first Web browser didn't do much more than a Gopher client. So we would have gotten here eventually through Gopher without Tim Berners-Lee.
On top of all that, the article is humourous! You know, Haha funny laugh? What does it matter if they don't mention any of the architects of the Internet? It's not that sort of article!
2003 : in april, AMD releases the Opteron, which has Palladium Hardwired. The AMD Athlon64 and Intel Prescott will follow.
2004 : the mass market of hardware is mainly converted to Palladium.
2005 : M$ releases Windows Longhorn, thus activating Palladium.
Internet has no future.
War doesn't prove who's right, just who's left.
2003: Bill Gates buys Unix from SCO, sues every Linux co. on earth, buys the Internet from itself, and All Your Base Belong To Us.
What the fuck is wrong with Slashdot's LITE mode, you cum guzzling, cock sucking, ass licking, retarded WAP user? I use it just fine on my piece of shit Zaurus SLC-700. If that 'aint "light" enough for your ass, just use the google.com's "Go To URL" service and you can wireless-ize just about anything except pr0n. I use it for CNN on my docomo keitai, rather than paying those dickfuckers for their so-called "premium content".
