Re: Issue 1. [Re: [ros-general] ROS-User-Issues]

Hi fellow ros-Users.
So far no silly programmers have bother to break into our trivial pursuit.
I hope it is because they are too serious to be bothered.
To be fair I started this with a silly mistake. Sorry, and pleased at the outcome.
I would like to end it with a serious analytical guess. Ahem, cough !

If we add an "e" we get User NeT(work) . Ok with that?
Now it we add the Letter for the the other great *nix discovery i.e. "X" (terminal). Still OK?
Put them both together you get NeXT, for Jobs's Apple HyperText and HyperCard
Which today is the backbone of the Internet.
Jobs takes his payout after being dumped from Apple, takes the bit he missed from Xerox Smalltalk80 and builds NeXT computers, the ferrari of Computers.
He brings it back to Apple again put it on a Linux kernel and calles it NextStep.
Together (AIM group Apple, IBM and Motorolla) they build the "G" series.
Microsofts decides to catch up by applying it to his own hardware base i.e.  Intel.
It is called the Wintel group.
This may just be a lot of proverbial codswallop, but as User-gossip goes, it does provide a base for further investigation.
Can we lift the level a bit?
So can I close Issue 1.0 and suggest opening, maybe Issue 2.0?

Cheers and rosuccess
Justin

NeXT was always based on BSD - OSX still is based on BSD, not Linux.

Jobs' failed OS and QBASIC-level scripting language are the backbone of 
the Internet?
I thought Al Gore was the man behind it!

Wasn't he also the lead singer in the band?  The Al Gore Rythms? ;)

Hyper-text, or rather HTML, is a mark-up language which allows (amongst many other things) to embed links to external objects behind the content. This results in the ability to navigate from one web page to another and each to be displayed in whatever format is appropriate for that page, as the HTML carries the formatting information as well as the content itself. I would suggest that rather than being the 'backbone' of the internet it is the 'foundation' of web pages. Perhaps better to describe telecoms lines as the 'backbone' (though in webspeak this word has a more specific meaning). 
I would say that the single factor which has had the largest positive effect on the growth of the internet is the fact that it is created for and by the people it serves, and not any external body. The actions of some politicians might have 'allowed' the internet to expend within their domain, but this is essentially a passive process. No one person or body has 'created' the internet, it has been grown by those who use it. Bodies like W3C (world wide web consortium) are basically an 'internal' body (they are part of the internet itself) who exist to give some focus to standards and organisation. 
I would say that the only way in which Al Gore (or most other people) is 'behind' the internet is in the sense that he is not in front of it. 
Worth remembering also that Al Gore's influence would only really extend over one country out of the 150 or so which are 'connected'.
