Jason, I don't think you have a government security clearance. Maybe I am wrong, if so Im sorry for doubting you.

I've taught government classes on internet security, and been a speaker on similar topics at numerous government-related seminars.

I will bet the password is "clearence" or "alot".

In order for you to have access to what I know you will need a security clearence. I don't know alot of you but I doubt you could get one.

ARPLANT was first created and linked form UCLA to Stanford 1969
The "@" email scheme was invented in 71

The DOD did not come along until 1975

However the internet remained in the public college system from its inception. It literately took 30 years of research and development.

Jason, I would guess you know what you are doing as far as your site goes but I doubt you know anything about the governments capabilities. The truth is, I would be more of an expert about that sence I spent over 20 years working in that area. Most of those 20 years on the leading edge of information technology. I know what the government can and can't do.

The internet was created by the military for a system of comm. that couldn't be crashed incase of war.

That's a terribly ridiculous rumor. Here's the original thread:
The grant for which we were applying was from Chase and Living Social, not the government. In order to qualify, we needed to have 250 "votes" by a certain date. I only found out about it a few days before the deadline, though, and the application required the voters to have a Facebook account (which a lot of our users don't), so we failed to get the necessary 250 votes.

Barney???

I know Jason was trying to get some grant money. Wonder how that went? I heard there was some people with a little fed pull trying to make sure he didn't get it. I don't know, just a rummor I heard.

So, you name a few pieces of equipment. The internet was created by the military for a system of comm. that couldn't be crashed incase of war. It is and always will be controled by the government.

And so on to a soap box. The internet is made of NTTP servers, IRC servers and http servers.

People forget about the first two because they require more knowledge than point and click

OUCH

you have been served sameo

Sigh. Are we? Please, elaborate. I'd love to hear more about this imaginary grant.


Umm, no it's not. The Internet isn't a singular thing at all; instead, it's a series of servers that are connected together by allowing access through an IP address and web server program (like Apache).

Gowilkes is under a federal grant i believe ?

All the internet is funded by our government. The internet is paid for and run by our military. They just allow us to use it so they can keep tract of what we are thinking.
