Yahoo, Apache, Ebay, Amazon, Netscape Celebrate 10 Year Anniversaries
tagish writes "Roy Fielding writes on the Apache dev mailing list: 10 years ago today, the Apache Group decloaked with the creation
of the new-httpd archive and initial accounts on hyperreal.org.
I had the lucky timing of having the first message archived on
the list, though we had actually been talking about what to do
for at least a week before that (sadly, without any archives)." At the same time, Mike Porter simply writes "Yahoo celebrates its tenth anniversary on March 2nd." News about some other anniversaries available via an MSNBC article.
10th year of "Year of Linux"
After the celebrations are you considering giving us a clean home page? Please YAHOO... its been long due
fuvoo: watch something
Yahoo, Apache, Ebay, Amazon, Netscape
One of these things is not the same kind.
Well hooray for a bunch of people who got to ride the .com bubble and get far richer than I'll ever be.

um, did we not mention www.wonderbra.com?
This also means I have been online 10 years. Wow. Where does the time go?
Oh yeah, multiplayer internet games!
What is "relevant", Alex?
"It's immensely more challenging to get to $10 billion in revenue than it was to get to $10 million in revenue," Filo said. "That's why we are still here today.
Sounds like tough work. How will they ever make enough to see ends meet.
Where have you gone, HomeGrocer.com and WebVan?
Not anymore you don't
Yes, we know
If you are going to use a fraction why not 3/5? But why use a fraction, why not just say 36 minutes? Something is not right here.
But they're going head to head with Netzero!
Ever heard of Google?
Before Apache
you did realize that his username is "nolife", right?
...whose remaining four employees will get trashed on listerine in the broom closet.
14 years of gopher !
no pop ups/downs/arounds/unders
no ads
no pictures
but it did have a clickable interface, and it might have been the beginning of the "everything I can see is the filesystem" revolution leading to the web browser/filesystem browser integration.

> Are click-thru ads really that profitable?
It's, uh, very complicated. It's, uh, it's, it's aggregate so I'm talking about fractions of a cent that, uh, over time, they add up to a lot. I'm just talking about fractions of a penny here, but Yahoo! does it from a much bigger tray. A couple of million times. So what's wrong with that?
I'm about the same age as the founders of some of these companies, and what do I have to show after a decade on the internet? One massive pr0n collection.
I hope you don't get marked insightful for not reading your own link and being able to think by yourself.
But it would be hypocracy if he was modded down for that : )
If it helps, I've been on the Internet more than ten years and I didn't get rich from the dot com bubble. Damn, I made the mistake of buying into the geeky net culture of making information and software available for free. Damn me for falling in with the wrong crowd. Why didn't I try some yuppie greed?!
Actually, from the first point I started recording my Internet experience (I was online maybe a year before that.), I've spent 10 years, 11 months, and 17 days on the Internet so far. Give or take a few hours a day to sleep and stuff.
At what price learning? At what cost wisdom? The price is a man's peace of mind, and the cost is his life.
ok, so now the first post guy is celebrating his tenth anniversary, and bragging about it? ("hey, I got first post ten years ago! nah-nah-nah-nah boo-boo")
First five messages on the "new-httpd" archive:
1) fp?? ... profit...

4) In Soviet Russia, Daemon posts you

Ever heard of Google?
No way! Google was not around before Apache. And I don't think they were ever a web server either!
Geez, n00b!
I'm sure I can prove it... let me see, how could I research this...
Oh wait...
Martin Luther King Jr. day.
He was purchased and assimilated by Gandhi during the great French Borg wars, and later Gandhi Luther King Jr. was bought out by Microsoft in 1812 for their revolutionary new version of Windows due out sometime in 2015.
Sheesh. Don't they teach history in schools anymore?
No, they couldn't figure out how to use the Post Anonymously box.
Haha, gotta love this reply to Bezos' post about developers.
Jeff,
My name is Jonathan. I think that commerce on the Internet will never
work, because people prefer to buy things in stores. Just my two
cents, I don't want to see you wasting effort on a company that is
going to bankrupt you very quickly. If you want to hear a much better
outlet for capital funding, my start-up company is involved in
something called the XFL, which is sure to be the most successful
enterprise of the decade. Just my two cents.
