In his notes, Vint talks about, 'Where is the Science in CS?' He also goes on to talk about real potential trouble spots with the Internet, but there is a bit on Interplanetary Internet (IPN).

    Vint Cerf may have "invented the Internet" but his association with ICANN, one of the major scumbag organizations of the Internet, destroys all of his credibility.

    It only works when you commit electronic election fraud and park your 'white econoline diebold van' at Dominoes Pizza at lunchtime.

    Now that's over, expect felons, domestic terrorists, and theives to fuck everything else up. It won't be long and you WILL FEEL THE ELECTION FRAUD IMPACT.

    You can't sue.
    You can't stay private.
    Your ID can be stolen.
    Social Security will be plundered.
    More evil murdering fuckers from Central America will run our country.
    They have their hands in everything now.
    Threatening, Attacking, Murdering, and Apointing Judges.

    I told ya the jury box would be next, but I guess they did that by going a different route.

    Now we have no fuckin BALLOT BOX.
    And Soon no JURY BOX.

    So, enjoy that Meatball Pizza, Trump is so grown up, he even has a Girlfriend now.

    Side note: Interesting how the folks that call themselves Christian. Break ALL THE FUCKING COMMANDMENTS! They Murder, Steal, Covet Neighbor wife, divorce, etc.
