I sent the first network email in 1971 using a program I wrote called SNDMSG. I have written a brief account of the first email with the intent of forestalling some of the more common questions about that event. If you want to see what the computer used to send the first email looked like, you will find that here too. It is frequently said that I invented the at sign.
Ray Tomlinson Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Biographie[modifier | modifier le code] Ingénieur de la société BBN, il collabore en 1971 à un petit groupe de programmeurs qui développent un système d'exploitation à temps partagé nommé TENEX pour les ordinateurs Digital PDP-10[1]. Auparavant, il avait travaillé sur des programmes et protocoles réseau tel que Network Control Protocol dans le cadre de la conception, pour le gouvernement américain, du réseau ARPANET. Il a ainsi mis au point deux programmes :
Build an Atomic Bomb! Worldwide controversy has been generated recently by several United States government websites removing, or restricting access to, material regarding technical aspects of nuclear weapons; specifically, how to make an atomic bomb. The reason usually given by the Administration is that National Security would be compromised if such information were generally available. But, since it is commonly known that all of the information is publicly available in most major metropolitan libraries, obviously the Administration's officially stated position is covering up a more important factor; namely, that such atomic devices would prove too difficult for the average citizen to construct. The United States government cannot afford to insult the vast majorities by insinuating that they do not have the intelligence of a cabbage, and thus the "official" press releases claim National Security as a blanket restriction.
Lets make a dirty bomb As the government has informed us that a high school dropout street punk can make a dirty bomb, lets do a thought experiment. Lets make one. The government descriptions are of radioactive material being dispersed by an explosion. Dot-com bubble The period was marked by the founding (and, in many cases, spectacular failure) of a group of new Internet-based companies commonly referred to as dot-coms. Companies could cause their stock prices to increase by simply adding an "e-" prefix to their name or a ".com" to the end, which one author called "prefix investing."[3] A combination of rapidly increasing stock prices, market confidence that the companies would turn future profits, individual speculation in stocks, and widely available venture capital created an environment in which many investors were willing to overlook traditional metrics, such as P/E ratio, in favor of basing confidence on technological advancements. The collapse of the bubble took place during 1999–2001.
Boo.com Boo.com was a British Internet company, founded by Swedes Ernst Malmsten, Kajsa Leander and Patrik Hedelin, which went out of business following the dot-com boom of the late 1990s. After several highly publicized delays, Boo.com launched in the autumn of 1999 selling branded fashion apparel over the Internet. The company spent $135 million of venture capital in just 18 months,[1] and it was placed into receivership on 18 May 2000 and liquidated.
Buzzblog: Time Flies Dept.: Dot-com craze peaked 10 years ago When the NASDAQ stock index hit its all-time high of 5,133 on March 10, 2000 - having more than doubled in a year -- the now legendary dot-com bubble was already looking like a balloon strapped to the back of a porcupine. A week later the NASDAQ had fallen 9 percent. ... A year later it was under 2,000. And the finger-pointing would last deep into the decade. Since memories fade - especially memories of such an unpleasant nature - I've assembled a few items from various archives that capture the essentials of what transpired - and what was thought about what transpired -- in the aftermath of this week's high-water mark. First the players: A few of the names live on as poster children for failure, of course: Pets.com, Kozmo.com, MVP.com and Go.com, to cite but four from this list of "Top 10 Dot-Com Flops" by CNet.

page The history of 404 Before the beginning of time, when the Internet was still very much under the spell of bare Unix shells and Gopher, before SLIP or PPP became widely used, an ambitious group of young scientists at CERN (Switzerland) started working on what was to become the media revolution of the nineties: the World Wide Web, later to be known as WWW, or simply 'the Web'. Their aim: to create a database infrastructure that offered open access to data in various formats: multi-media. The ultimate goal was clearly to create a protocol that would combine text and pictures and present it as one document, and allow linking to other such documents: hypertext. Because these bright young minds were reluctant to reveal their progress (and setbacks) to the world, they started developing their protocol in a closed environment: CERN's internal network. Many hours were spend on what later became the world-wide standard for multimedia documents.
History of 404 What is 404, anyway? Where did it come from? What do the numbers mean? What are the other status codes? How can I use status codes?

Brewster Kahle, Internet Archive : “Le meilleur du web est déjà perdu” Dans le dernier numéro de Place de la Toile, Xavier de la Porte recevait Brewster Kahle, fondateur depuis 1996 et président de l’Internet Archive, cette organisation non gouvernementale américaine à but non lucratif consacrée à l’archivage du Web. Pour traduire ses propos, l’équipe de Place de la Toile a rédigé le transcript de son interview. Pour ceux qui ne l’auraient pas déjà écouté, le voici. L’occasion de revenir sur le rôle de l’archivage du web dans un monde où la circulation de l’information est toujours plus rapide et durée de vie de l’information toujours plus courte.
Frédéric Lefebvre et le web 2.0 : la revanche du député sur Twitter? Qui a osé dire que Frédéric Lefebvre, le porte parole de l’UMP et probable futur Secrétaire d’Etat à l’économie numérique, ne connaissait rien à Internet ? Piégé dans une interview par Jean-Jacques Bourdin sur BFM-TV, le député des Hauts de Seine fait la démonstration du contraire en assurant sa défense sur ... Twitter, le réseau de microblogging, encore très avant-gardiste (et confidentiel) en France. Cette page Twitter de Frédéric Lefebvre reste à confirmer, car selon certains commentateurs de cet article il pourrait s’agit d’un faux, dans ce cas très bien fait...
