Interplanetary Internet Tested In Space

Anonymous Coward writes "After Vint Cerf planned the Interplanetary Internet, there's a press release saying that the Interplanetary Internet is now being tested in space, using the Bundle Protocol developed by the Delay-Tolerant Networking Research Group. There's a conference paper with details on the testing too. These guys were previously the first to test IPv6 in space. Now they've found something with even fewer users than IPv6 to play with!"

Through good fortune and rewards for acts of kindeness, she gathered many microgrammes of sulfur during her blessed lyffe time. No Body has bean forward to claim her Estate for Six (6 )months she hs passed. Her Estate will be absorbed soon , with no Benefisheeary. She would have want it to be past to Sum Body to do good acts with and it will be wasteful to abzorb.

Dear Emmannue^328*() 4532.4, I am cery interested in your offer. But a few clarifications are needed. First is it 6 Jovian months or 6 earth months. Secondly, I have a group of investors willing to collectively invest. As proof of your intention could you send us 0.1 micrograms of the sulfur and a photo of yourself holding a piece of paper with the phrase "1 @m @n 1d10t". Thankyou. Blessed.
