Thank Al Gore for the Internet

Gore for president

ya so he voted for a bill. Thank MIT , Berky, UCLA and ITT for the internet.

What is the Internet?

Thanks God he saved me from taking drive thru orders fulltime instead of just part!

Al Gore's responsible for the Internet the same way that Clinton's responsible for the Internet bubble and the resulting economy boom. THEY'RE NOT!

Both of those chucklheads just happened to be sitting in the right seat, at the right time. Clinton got re-elected because all of us and tens of thousands of other geeks were out there busting our asses to make the Internet and telecom happen as they have. Then Clinton stepped up and said "Y'all like all 'dat money? Thank me! I sho 'nuff da one 'dat made it happen for ya!" Gore just thought he could ride those coat tails into office and Thank Krishna...he failed. That pussy probably would've called a drum circle and "Kumbaya" after 9/11.

As far as Gore and his webby, he's just trying to justify another run in 2008 by taking down the objections one at a time. He didn't vote for those bills or do anything procative becuase he thought it was the right thing to do. That's not how politics or politicians work. He got PAID to vote this way or that, based on campaign contributions, comped trips, "gifts"...on and on. Then, it just so happened that his voting record showed that he said yes or no on things that helped advance the Internet. So, the $500/hr consultants he's got scowering his record to help advance his liberal agenda found this little tid bit and now they're trying to spin it into something else to tell the press.

Democrats, Republicans...doesn't make a difference. They're all just liars, lying and scammers, scamming trying to make another million and another powerful friend. We're all just peasants fighting over bread crumbs.

Bill Gates is the one who brought the Intenet to the masses.

Anyone see the Internet before M$ got into it? It was horrible.

Computers in general where horrible before M$

Remember?


C:\>RUN

I want to see the other internets the current president talks about

Actually Gates said the internet was a flash in the pan and wouldn't last.

I always get a good chuckle when Gore and the Internet are brought up.

That was Microsoft as well, don't forget it's call MS Dos.

Al Gore is fucking anti-muslim
thats why he lost. Bush fucker got all Muslim votes in America.

Learn the truth before you go spouting off right wing bullshit.

Gore co-sponsored the legislation that created defensenet, a project that military computers and later grew into the worldwide web.

He was pretty much the "Alpha Geek" in the senate from the early 80's, sponsoring and promoting internet related legislation and helping remove the legal obstacles to make the modern internet possible.

Vint Cerf, a senior vice president with MCI Worldcom who's been called the Father of the Internet, has said "The Internet would not be where it is in the United States without the strong support given to it and related research areas by the Vice President in his current role and in his earlier role as Senator."

The inventor of the Mosaic Browser, Marc Andreesen, credits Gore with making his work possible. He received a federal grant through Gore's High Performance Computing Act. The University of Pennsylvania's Dave Ferber says that without Gore the Internet "would not be where it is today."

Joseph E. Traub, a computer science professor at Columbia University, claims that Gore "was perhaps the first political leader to grasp the importance of networking the country. Could we perhaps see an end to cheap shots from politicians and pundits about inventing the Internet?"

But you know more than these people, dont you.

It's easier for those who want to seem wise and world-weary to just act cynical about everything and talk about how there's 'no difference' between the parties.

Take a look at John Ashcroft, then take a look at John Kerry. Look at the party histories and platform. There's a difference, and not knowing what it is doesn't make you wise or above it all, it just makes you lazy.

Should I believe an angry GFY nick or Vint Cerf?

I'm pretty sure most of them still do

What do you think MS stands for in MS-DOS
