Chris Rankin : "And Smithy: For the record, the Internet is, and always has been, built on Open Source. Consider TCP/IP, HTTP, DHCP and DNS, for example; all Open Protocols. "
You keep getting funnier by the minute.
So the open source crazies invented TCP/IP did they?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!
Now that I have stopped laughing..I am sure Bob Kahn, Vinton Cerf and the rest of the super smart guys who REALLY invented TCP/IP and what we call the internet, will be as surprised as I am, that some open source nut is now claiming open source haters invented TCP/IP.
Umm..is your name Al Gore by any chance?
I suppose you are next going to tell us that Linus Torvalds invented the internet well are you?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Wake up from your dream, dude!!
Bottom line, the internet and the protocols that make it run were developed by the above named gentlemen and their team, together with other teams, as part of the United States Government funded ARPANET program!
Had NOTHING do do with open source nuts, a group that is full of rabid anti-American haters.
These guys who developed the internet like Vint Cerf, actually loved their country for starters, and they certainly didn't belong to no open source group!
