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!"

We need new attempts to shock. Or maybe not.

/. is supposed to be a place for the innovative (or so we like to pretend). Show us something new. Shock from generic offensiveness is boring. It's old hat. Might as well try to impress us with your Pentium III. If you're going to be one of the FP obsessives, prepare something better to cut and paste in.
How about personal revelations? "I'm having sex with my brother" would do. "I buy all of my software at Target and I buy whatever they suggest" would do even better.
Or rude haiku about, say, Cowboy Neal. That might propagate.
Or blasts from the past. "I"M TYPING THIS IN MY NEW ACCOUNT ON AOL. HI THERE."


Ya see, some of us still have this silly idea THAT THREADS SHOULD BE ABOUT DISCUSSING THE FUCKING ISSUE BROUGHT UP IN THE GODDAMN INITIAL POST.
So if you insist on engaging in your adolescent crap, at least try to make it amusing.

Thank you.
