Internet Society (ISOC) All About The Internet: History of the Internet
The original ARPANET grew into the Internet. Internet was based on the idea that there would be multiple independent networks of rather arbitrary design, beginning with the ARPANET as the pioneering packet switching network, but soon to include packet satellite networks, ground-based packet radio networks and other networks. The Internet as we now know it embodies a key underlying technical idea, namely that of open architecture networking. In this approach, the choice of any individual network technology was not dictated by a particular network architecture but rather could be selected freely by a provider and made to interwork with the other networks through a meta-level “Internetworking Architecture”. Up until that time there was only one general method for federating networks. The idea of open-architecture networking was first introduced by Kahn shortly after having arrived at DARPA in 1972. Four ground rules were critical to Kahn’s early thinking:

Kaleazy Creative | Multidisciplinary Design Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 5 This isn’t really news as such, but Famitsu magazine also reports that Persona 5 development arrangements are in place, and the regular Persona team will be handling development of the game.

The key players are returning for Persona 5. They've solidified the themes they'd like to cover in the game. Hashino shared one technical bit about P5. However, he warned that he expects a lengthy wait until release. Sos kicap

Internet Society (ISOC) - Address by John Klensin to the opening of the IGF Internet Governance Forum (IGF) Address by John Klensin to the opening of the IGF Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, good morning I seem to be the odd person on this session's agenda since I do not have the privilege of speaking for a government or a large and important organization. While I do not bring greetings from an organization, I do, however, have some experience with the development of the Internet itself. Much of my long-term experience is with Internet applications—the protocols and interfaces that underlie the network that end users see, rather than the core technologies that connect countries and computers. I would like to thank the many people with whom I’ve discussed these topics in the last few weeks and the last 40 years for their considerable contributions to what I’m about to say, but time obviously doesn’t permit giving you a list. There were serious discussions about multiscript naming and content, including the first of many proposals for how to do it, by 1972.

NOTCOT.ORG which country is worst in the world? QUOTE(wodenus @ May 1 2010, 11:06 AM) You, a foreigner, were there for three weeks, and you're not dead yet? For a city boy like me, the first week was full on paranoia!!! If you don't try to find trouble, then in won't be finding you...so I fastly adapted this. Shit man! I had witnessed poverty and famine close-up while traveled in a Pajero looking at the environment... people smoking weed in the public, drinking home made brew( like tapai), a father punch his young son multiply in the gut, women helplessly getting groped public, police patrols Jeep with guys equipped with standard N.A.T.O. Ironically the beach is beautiful.... Although after awhile, you'll get it in your head that humans are still humans, there are good things too, so I personally don't hold contempt with the locals... (yeah, I counted them...) Even I returned back to M'sia after that 3 weeks, I couldn't forget the frequent gunfires that can be heard during the nights in Port Moresby , PNG.

Internet Society (ISOC) All About The Internet: History of the Internet Vint Cerf, 18 July, 1995 A bit of history: The Internet Society was formed by a number of people with long-term involvement in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). As a result, one of its principal rationales was to provide an institutional home for and financial support for the Internet Standards process. This rationale still exists today. In contemplation of the need for a mechanism for aggregating funding from many sources, it was proposed to form an Internet Society and to use its resources, in part, to provide funds in support of IETF. During the last half of 1992, the relationship between the IAB and the IETF came under scrutiny through the first POISED Working Group which reallocated responsibilities for standards decision making and established the framework around which the current practices for populating IAB and IETF are conducted. Starting in 1993, the Internet Society assumed its responsibilities under RFC 1602, and participated in various reviews of that process.
