there is an ongoing debate on who "invented" packet switching; who invented internet; etc. however, discounting Dr. Kleinrock would be foolish. ever heard of queueing theory? I think the argument against his contribution goes something like "well, he did all his work for a single node, so its irrelevant". However, as I understand it, there are plenty of evidence that this is not entirely true. Furthermore, his contributions to internet through the great body of work in the queueing theory are hard to ignore.
The "first node of the Internet?" You can't have an Internet with only one node.
Now, this statement of yours makes so little sense, its not even funny. Go read up on some history of what really happened (just the facts) and you'll see exactly where this comes from. (would you trust vint cerf saying the same thing.. which he did...?)
This is a problem with posts like this: people try to make smart-ass remarks, and give others wrong perceptions.
doubt it. "those who cant program manage?". i think you really have to program for a while first, understand whats right/wrong in the management, prepare yourself, and only then go into management. merits of the MBA are debatable (although i am not denying the usefulness or anything like that)
and i definitely agree with many people who don't equate good programmers with good managers. i do believe, though, that if you were to sample the level of request from the programmers, then managers who used to program would come out on top.
... which are built on plenty of theory.
internet does not work on brute force -- it would
not make it very far that way. it works because
lots of people invested lots of time into thinking about it.

it appears that out of all of the US sites, only mapquest has "avoid highways" feature, which comes quite handy sometimes.
