Gotcha! Just seeing if everyone is paying attention. The origins of the Internet goes way back to the Cold war. It in fact was a demand for a system to deliver data in the event of nuclear war. It then expanded to include research labs and colleges. This is not to be confused with the Web. That delveloped way afterwards and out of CERN. What alot of people don't realize is the demands and the development the military contributes. CDMA is an example. Microwave and FM are another example. Think about this; is it by chance that Bell labs Holmdel and what use to be Green Arces near Fort Monmouth (US Army's R&D facility) are but about 10 miles apart? Could the US taxpayers helped AT&T develop some technology that we use today thru the military desire for improved technology. The US military/industrial complex is huge. That why I disagree when my government levels attacks on trading partners about subsidized industry. Other governments do it in direct investment and protection laws, the US does it through taxes, miltiary and NASA. I don't see the difference. Ah don't get me started on Netscape, if it weren't for government funded programs at the University of Illinios Supercomputing Center, where Eudora and Mosiac was invented, Netscape would be bankrupt. Check out what school the wunderkid of Netscape is from. Spyglass too. It's akin to the US and Soviet military pick over the German scientific community at the end of WW II. We want that cup back, so don't fall in love with it.
