    Into his eye socket and rubbed it around to see what would happen, "betwixt my eye and the bone as near to backside of my eye as I could".

    September 2 1969: Birth of the internet

    The very beginning of what would become the internet was achieved when two computers at UCLA were connected and managed to communicate with each other. The first message was “LO.” It was supposed to be “Login,” but the system crashed after two letters. Yet the milestone was officially reached.

    I thought it was pretty amazing in the early eighties when an Indian grad student showed me how he could type a message on a mainframe terminal in the computer lab to his friend at a university back home, and it would report back each time the message was relayed from one university mainframe to another as it made its way across the continents.

    Men will never be redundant. They're lovely creatures and most of us like them.

    Just look which people build these infrastructures and most tech hardware: that remains to be mainly men.
    Also: humour. We can't depend on women for good humour (and God knows good humour is important to have in our societies), except for subject matter naturally (not saying men aren't great subject matter for humour/comedy, but they're also on average far better in self mockery) :D Mel knows im right.
