David Clark: Rebuild the Internet
boarder8925 writes "David Clark, who led the development of the internet in the 1970s, is working with the National Science Foundation on a plan for a whole new infrastructure to replace today's global network. The NSF aims to put out a request for proposals in the fall for plans and designs that could lead to what Clark called a 'clean slate' internet architecture. Those designs, Clark said, could be tested on the National LambdaRail, the nationwide optical network that researchers are using to experiment with new networking technologies and applications."
No problem.

Researcher #1: Hmm, this old version of the internet is too shabby. Lets make a new one!
Researcher #2: This time, lets use those new "optical wires". I bet the speed will be fast!
Researcher #1: Whatever it takes to screw over the media industry.
Researcher #1: Amen.
I only hope they didn't forget to hire Al Gore or else this won't work.

How in the world is this Offtopic?
pr0n and Sci-Fi are the backbone of the Internet. Name an advance in Internet technology that didn't come from the pr0n community first. I mean, what else do you use 'tabbed browsing' for? Business?
The opposite of progress is congress
"*And if all you "/."ers think that you can lay the entire blame in corporate laps? Then you're bigger fools than I originally thought."
From your posting here it would appear that you too are a "/."er. Which makes you an even bigger fool than you originally thought.
fascinating.
Does that scare you? Since FTP is nearly dead as it is, are you partially smiles now? Does it work like that, or do you turn into smiles all at once? Does it hurt/tickle?
