"Arpanet was the first real network to run on packet switching technology (new at the time). On the October 29, 1969, computers at Stanford and UCLA connected for the first time. In effect, they were the first hosts on what would one day become the Internet.

"“While many smart artists — big, medium and small — have figured out ways to adjust and give fans what they want, record labels themselves still don’t seem to have understood,” says Masnick, adding: “Instead they want government and ISPs to punish fans, hoping that this will somehow, magically, get people to buy products they’ve shown no interest in buying for quite some time.”"

"irON is an abstract notation and associated vocabulary for specifying RDF triples and schema in non-RDF forms. Its purpose is to allow users and tools in non-RDF formats to stage interoperable datasets using RDF. The notation supports writing RDF and schema in JSON (irJSON), XML (irXML) and comma-delimited (CSV) formats (commON). The surprising thing about irON is that — by following its simple conventions and vocabulary — you will be authoring and creating interoperable RDF datasets without doing much different than your normal practice."

"So what is the solution? What you want is some sort of a personal site with all your own data. Then the data can be connected to other data by search engines. For that we need a way to say on a site to explain to search engines what some piece of data represents (eg genealogy, foto & place & data). One of the technologies which can do this is RDFa, it's like a CSS of meaning. This improves search and user experience; it improves services; and aggregators can create value by joining data."

Burroughs describes the meeting… “I waited and Kurt got out with another man. Cobain was very shy, very polite, and obviously enjoyed the fact that I wasn’t awestruck at meeting him. There was something about him, fragile and engagingly lost. He smoked cigarettes but didn’t drink. There were no drugs. I never showed him my gun collection.”

"If ghosts always exist, then they are simply physical creatures and can be handled like any other physical creature (i.e. subject to our scientific laws). If they have no physical existence, then they must be undetectable."
