#1 John McCain is a personal friend, a great friend, and I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off, be well off no matter who... - meaning better of than with G.W?

McCain still beats Biden on gaffes by a mile, but nobody tops Bush. lol

Check the internets.

#2 Which one of the internets?

There actually are several, including multiple ones restricted to DOD and the intel community.

Or perhaps you didn't know that the TCP/IP protocol standards were developed for DOD and only replaced the OSI stack and the commercial X.25 packet switched data services offered by General Electric for general use after DOD funded a TCP/IP reference implementation at UC Berkeley (BSD Unix 2.4 IIRC).

What's that? You didn't know? You should if you repeat mindless snark about them.

And yes - I implemented one of the first TCP/IP stacks in Silicon Valley around that time, along with X.25 compliant protocol handlers for some major corporations migrating off of IBM's proprietary SNA comms architecture.

If you're gonna snark the snark, be sure you can back it up.

#3 LOL

Do you mean you were one of first to send data over TCP. BIG WOW! I hope you aspire to more in life!

I'd have more respect for you if you worked on UDP which would be just little bit more work or invented something instead of claiming some authority on the subject!

And who cares if someone knows the OSI layer, even my mom who's not even a network engineer knows about OSI/TCP/UDP and about PRIVATE net works.

LOL I don't think G.W. meant ARPA, INTERNET, INTERNET IP6!

You're just appologizing for Dubya! It is what it is!

I worked in Silicon Valley when 237 had stop lights and was lined with orchards. Broke my heart when they tore down those trees and substituted 1 and 2-story buildings with huge parking lots to avoid the more expensive earthquake measures required in buildings of 3+ stories.

Mr. Lotp, a Bay area native, used to say they should just pave over the whole lower end of the Bay and let people drive without lanes etc.

Of course he didn't, silly newbie. He meant the public Internet, the NIPRNET, the SIPRNET and others.

#9 Thank You lotp, for the validation part, It breaks my heart too..

The High quality top soil, sun and water resources there make for Ideal farming/growing country 365 days a year.. Even without any work the land and country is lush there..

I could wax on and on... but Im glad you were able to see part of the beginning before some of the developement.

#10 We still own the modest house Mr. Lotp's parents build right after WWII further north in the east Bay area. We plan to move back there when we retire in a decade or so.

I fell in love with the land and the sea in northern CA when I first visited there in '73. We lived in Silicon Valley from '78 through the '83, getting out just before the huge building boom there. Lived on the west side of LA from '84-90 which wasn't nearly so lovely although being right on the bike path to the ocean was nice ....

Mr. Lotp's parents are buried in the military cemetary in the central Valley - another peaceful, fertile and lovely place.

#11 are these internets you speak of connected to Senator Ted Stevens' Intertubes (which keep getting clogged up, preventing delivery of his email)?

#12 I try not to be connected to Ted Stevens at all, Frank. LOL

Besides, aren't intertubes what you float down rivers on?

#15 Biden is a gift that just can't stop giving. The man is a mental midget (I doubt his IQ is higher than mine - nothing he's said or done shows it).

I'm not too well versed on TCP/IP except as a user, but if you want to talk SCSI...
