The inventor of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee, has been awarded a knighthood!

The British scientist, who lives in the US at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was told he was getting the Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire.

He created his hypertext protocol while he was at the particle physics institute, Cern, in Geneva. He then offered it royalty free. That’s were the "http" comes from in Pixies’ url.

We all owe him a BIG "Thank You"!

Yay, Sir WWW!



Er, to again debunk a myth, Gore never said that:

Clearly, Blitzer is asking Gore to offer an explanation of how he differs as a politician from other politicians in general, and his rival at the time, Bill Bradley, in particular.

Here is Gore's response to Blitzer's question:

GORE: Well, I will be offering - I'll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be.

But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.

I hear you, Irish, it's just that I moderate a journalism discussion list and we were recently discussing how that fallacy has become a truth in American media. A lot of journalists report it as fact and I just took the opportunity to set the record straight.

daughters son)has NO school this week.He decided that he wanted to spend time,with his "Grampie" instead of going to Day
Care.His brother is Autistic & has specialy trained people,come in
while my daughter works!I call my place Leprechaun Day Care.I
have now been informed of every "F"word,that is on my VCR tapes. Irish
P.S.Yes,I am a sucker,but HE IS my daughters son & she needs ALL the help,that she can get!She is divorced & her ex doesn't
help much financially!
