That's Sir Tim to You
andrew_j_w writes "British born creator of the web Tim Berners-Lee has finally received his Knighthood from the Queen. It's nice to a pioneer, who certainly not a household name, get such a high honour from the establishment. Hopefully more people will now recognise the great work he did!"
A graduate of Oxford University, England, Tim now holds the 3Com Founders chair at the Laboratory for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL)at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He directs the World Wide Web Consortium, an open forum of companies and organizations with the mission to lead the Web to its full potential.
Pfft... woopidie dooda! I hit a HR when I was in the 6th grade!
With a background of system design in real-time communications and text processing software development, in 1989 he invented the World Wide Web, an internet-based hypermedia initiative for global information sharing. while working at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory. He wrote the first web client (browser-editor) and server in 1990.

Tim Berners-Lee gains a knighthood but loses his manhood. One of the darker secrets of the British crown revealed tonight on SlashTV! Brought to you by GNAA brand Kielbasa. And here's your host Cowboy Ron Burgundy!
I don't get accused, I just get modded. I sometimes think it's a 1337/n00b thing, since other people post the same thing and get modded up for being funny or interesting or whatever
I have been waiting for this topic for years now. About time.

(mod me down if you like, this post is pointless)
It's kind of a dream of mine, to be knighted...
First step: Britain, here I come!
You have to get a sig if you want to be modded up instead of down. That's how people know you're a genuine slashdotter and not just someone who walked in off the street. I don't make the rules, I'm just letting you know. Probably too late now you've got a karma penalty anyway. Set up a new account. Give it a sig "I used to get modded down so I got a sig", or something, and try again.
