I cannot believe I neglected to ask ANYTHING about the ARPANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and its history. FROMTHE HORSES MOUTH.

IQ Crew

Thanks again, everyone... our next IE Radio guest is Gregg Spiridellis, co-founder of political satire site JibJab.com -- the folks who brought us the Bush/Kerry animated duet of "This Land Is Your Land" in 2004. He's on Tuesday 11/24 at 2 pm ET.

Must hop off chat now. Talk to you all soon!

IQ Crew

Works OK on IE8 as well.

IQ Crew

I'm on an old Firefox and it starts up right away now.

IQ Crew

Catch us on your home PC

IQ Crew

Thanks for the help.

Rank: Cave Painter

Tried with both IE and Firefox. Same result. And java got updated yesterday along with my copy of IE 'cause I couldn't get any of the links to work in IE. None. It was weird.

Rank: Cave Painter

either that, or you may beed to update whatever java client you;re using. What browser are you on?

IQ Crew

I've been meaning to log in at home to see what the interface looks like.

Rank: Cave Painter

Ah OK well I hope you'll try again from another computer. :)

IQ Crew

I'm special. :) I work for DVA and I'm guessing they've got some means of blocking it.

Rank: Cave Painter

Nothing is there at all?

IQ Crew

Yes. Not sure why it isn't showing up for you.

IQ Crew

I'm guessing the player is supposed to appear above the java chat area, since there's a big chunk of white space between the name of the visitor and youChat.

Rank: Cave Painter

If the player comes up and there's no audio, hit pause and then play.

IQ Crew

Don't see any buttons. Just the java chat area.

Rank: Cave Painter

It's BlogTalkRadio. Is there a pause/play button?

IQ Crew

No. I've tried a couple times before. What technology is it using for the broadcast? I don't see any icons.

Rank: Cave Painter

Oaksong, is it your first time tuning in?

IQ Crew

Yeah, Terry, I felt so dumb. First to admit it, but at least I can use what I learned today to make better informed decisions for my internet use.

IQ Crew

Who can I talk to about why I don't get any audio?

Rank: Cave Painter

I actually didn't appreciate the personal asides and the off-topic stuff. We really appreciate your enthusiasm and great energy here, artfrankmiami. but my hope is that it could be better directed to the topic at hand and to the person in the guest chair

IQ Crew

Good one. Thanks. Nice format.

Thinkernetter

Yeah, I'm sorry it took so long too, artfrankmiami. A real squandered opportunity when we had one of the brightest minds of the Internet live and in person

IQ Crew

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks everyone for coming.

IQ Crew

To everyone at InEv. I know it was a bit racous today, but you have created a very nice conversational virtual roundtable for us. I actually felt like we were all in a room together talking about the subject.

IQ Crew

Thanks, sorry I finally thought a moderately good question at the very end.

IQ Crew

thank you Dr. Roberts. Nicole, Terry, Mary, Michael.

IQ Crew

Does Mr Roberts feel it is imperative that VoIP be allowed uninhibited on Cell phones? Sprint is basically giving it away now on a free Cell to Cell calling plan anyway (at 125 a month for two lines), so why quibble if calls are being made on the data plan?

IQ Crew

Thanks, and goodby.

Larry

Rank: Cave Painter

Thank you Dr. Roberts!

Thinkernetter

Thanks for your time today, Dr. Roberts

IQ Crew

I think we may be just about wrapped here

IQ Crew

I built an eight story house of cards, I feel so inadequate.

IQ Crew

Does this mean you'll have a faraday cage ready for 2012 (December 21).

IQ Crew

Dr. Roberts, I read that you built a tesla coil as a child.

IQ Crew

T-Mobile is really bad in Miami. My friend hacked his G1 to run ATT.

IQ Crew

I heard that Verizon and At&t (wireless) are going to merge. I have T-mobile and the wireless web is NOTHING in comparison to the sprint air card I borrowed from a friend.

IQ Crew

After Wilma, I had to walk up to the cell tower across the street to get a call through. Opa Locka I had a 1 foot wide area in the middle of the street in fronmt of my job.

IQ Crew

Currently I use the G1 phone using T-Mobile. That is partly due to which service works at my house, thus my phone choices are limited. But most Internet phones have similar services.

Rank: Cave Painter

And that was just Irene, jwallace.

IQ Crew

so much for the koo-koo koo koo koo then.

IQ Crew

Vonage is the same price as my all inclusive BellSouth land line, so it is not cost effective for me.

IQ Crew

@artfrankmiami my cell/mobile phone didn't work during the hurricane in 99 when I lived in Doral..

IQ Crew

Once we have authentication security, we can hve network priority for emergency service. Then 911 and other emergency services can be supported effectively.

Rank: Cave Painter

It would also help if VoIP could become a box unit, rather than always a computer hookup, and somehow rermained powered during blackouts and disateres to be effective. During the worst hurricanes, i could always make a call during the storm, but they always shut the system down after the all clear for emergency managment.

IQ Crew

speaking of QoS.. Vonage and their 'VoIP'......

IQ Crew

Dr. Roberts, what's your mobile access device of choice?

IQ Crew

SPAM is today mainly economic due to the low cost of infecting many PC's and using these bots to send the SPAM. Once we do the right network security to improve the control of these infections, SPAM hopefully will become un-economic.

Rank: Cave Painter

I'm keeping my land line for emergencies and the telephone number, but even Skype seems to be a great alternative for less than $100 a year.

IQ Crew

this is the link I see for the spam: http://www.internetevolution.com/www.applebees.com/vetsday

IQ Crew

VoIP will become the standard for all voice within a few years so I doubt I will keep a land line then. But good QoS must be installed into the network first. VoIP on mobile is still a serious problem which flow management can fix but it needs to be fixed before VoIP replaces call or land lines totally.

Rank: Cave Painter

Dr. Roberts... any thoughts on how social engineering is hindering Internet security? I wouldn't click on this link that Mr. Richard_Adams is touting. But someone like my mother would. - your thoughts?

IQ Crew

there is answer to the 5% bandwidth hogs artfrankmiami. SPAMMERS.

IQ Crew

So VPN would be a "cloud" system rather than a locally based in-house system?

IQ Crew

VPN is a secure tunnel on the Internet. It may become obsolute with IPSEC.

Dr. Roberts, I heard that the new "term" for intranet is VPN. I don't see it. but do you agree?

IQ Crew

Mobile Internet is critical to the future and needs far greater control of fairness and quality.

Hi -- what does Dr. Roberts think of the mobile network? How does that fit with his work?

Thinkernetter

Sorry if I am repeating myself; I wasn't sure whether you had access and were able to view all queries, Dr. Roberts

Thinkernetter

Yes, I am about to switch to VOiP and that is a very important question.

IQ Crew

Dr. Roberts, can you address whether security handled within the network might affect privacy rights for individuals on the Net?

Thinkernetter

Let's get back to our topic... welcome, Dr. Roberts

IQ Crew

Dr. Roberts, speaking of VoIP, umm, do you and will you keep a landline for dire situations? will VoIP be "reliable" as a landline in the short run?

IQ Crew

Ahhhh my $500 1440 Fax Modem. Ahhh those were the days..... when I was always broke adding to my PC (So I got a mac ((;0)

IQ Crew

Anagran has now produced an economic system that greatly improves QoS on over any congested part of the Internet. It has proven very effective for VoIP quality, Web access time and most all QoS.

Rank: Cave Painter

and lighten up richard. if I can't think of an intelligent answer I hide in shame and make jokes. ((;0)

IQ Crew

was worse than the Kanye interrupt..

IQ Crew

where do  you see the bandwidth limits for the CONSUMER within the next 5 years? we went from 1440 baud to 18 mbps down in 16 years.

IQ Crew

Thanks, Richard Adams... suggest you go in and adjust your email preferences to avoid unwanted messages in the future

IQ Crew

Yeah, wi-max, couldn't think of it.

IQ Crew

Dr. Roberts, will efforts to control security within the Net create a threat to online anonymity and user rights to privacy?

Thinkernetter

Dr. Roberts, what about quality of service on the Internet? You tried to achieve this with your company Caspian. Where do we stand with that?

IQ Crew

what happened to wi-max?

IQ Crew

What kind of non-sense is this???

STOP sending me email for this...

Richard Adams, Systems Analyst

Rank: Cave Painter

yes, that's why I think maybe video should perhaps go wireless only, maybe using hubs (what is that called, WAN?)

IQ Crew

Going to wait for an acknowledgment from Dr. Roberts -- he was having some difficulty seeing the messages associated with this chat, pre-show

IQ Crew

Dr. Roberts, Did DARPA do any "wireless" testing early on in network developement? Maybe using Amateur Radio?

Rank: Cave Painter

What kind of non-sense is this???

STOP send me email for this...

Richard Adams, Systems Analyst

Rank: Cave Painter

@artfrankmiami video is too bandwidth intensive...maybe back in 1999 when was selling Bell South Fast Access DSL

 

IQ Crew

Let us know when you're ready, Dr. Roberts

IQ Crew

Paul, internet access in space is important so that the Decpticons have to access the AllSpark location without wiping out the army, somehow!

IQ Crew

OK everyone, Dr. Roberts is joining us on the chat, so weigh in with your questions and comments.

IQ Crew

that question(Terry) is KEY! Kanye can't touch that one!

IQ Crew

Re: Smart Grid - look for Zigbee to help the home net. And usual vendor software to control the pipes (so to speak)

IQ Crew

ya, can't be farther from the truth!! Why give internet access to UFOs when some of earth masses are still finding it diffciult to have access!!

Researcher

artfrank - especially with mobile.

IQ Crew

Yes, let's get the Internet right on Earth first.

IQ Crew

wait til  you hear about twitter based search ;o) I'LL BE ONE OF THE FATHERS!! MUAHAHAHA.

IQ Crew

video is too (bandwidth) Intensive for the web

IQ Crew

Other Qs? Speak up... don't be shy.

IQ Crew

ewwwwww. that was a call out. (my support on twitter). and a good call Nicole.

IQ Crew

I don't even know what that means... but it sounds pretty intense.

IQ Crew

my final question for Dr Roberts. DOES HE PLAN ON BUILDING A FARADAY CAGE for use on December 21, 2012.

IQ Crew

I recall not too long ago you weren't sold on the idea.

IQ Crew

Jwallace, your Twitter support has kind of come out of nowhere.

IQ Crew

that just make your day Nicole

Researcher

how could he not TWEET?????

IQ Crew

I was wondrin that Paul.

IQ Crew

You heard it here first, folks: Roberts doesn't Tweet.

IQ Crew

yes, it was a telepathic comm btw me and Terry

Researcher

Does Dr. Roberts think there's a chance that the loss of Internet anonymity threatens individual rights?

Thinkernetter

twitter rocks!!!!!!

IQ Crew

i know lawrence is more on the technical aspect of things, but can we ask his view on twitter and other related web services??

Researcher

borrowed from the web: what should happen now when the telcos want to exploit their monopoly position to extract extra value out of information services

IQ Crew

Mr. Roberts - what will be the next forces influencing the Internet? What about nano-tech?

IQ Crew

even the time when the internet started is still up for debate!!

Researcher

Other questions people want asked on air?

IQ Crew

or were you referring to Miami's random traffic?

IQ Crew

Mary did you hear?

Researcher

video is wha? artfrankmiami?

IQ Crew

and really, Video is too uintensive for the web. Better to make city hubs and wireless broadcast (oooo! A whole new infrastructure!)

IQ Crew

Terry, why go the windy path type of questioning?

Researcher

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;o) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IQ Crew

I think the whole bandwidth issue could be helped by programmers remembering to OPTIMIZE their webpages and quit making bloated Flashy pages

IQ Crew

draper prize...meaning Capt Crunch?

IQ Crew

is net neutrality centric to a country or global?

IQ Crew

can he talked about this impedning collapse of the internet frrom too littl bandwidth availbale for all our vblogs and real time search?

Researcher

Who else has a question?

IQ Crew

I think that's a little bit of a different topic, Paul.

IQ Crew

I might be in the NEXT 5 percent. 5 percent of users..who are these users? not just P2P junkies...YOUTUBE? Hulu? ohhh, some other video sites that i'm not mentioning.

IQ Crew

same thinh with taxes in new york with less than 30% paying 90% of taxes!!

Researcher

if 5% does that, then of course they should pay.

 

IQ Crew

5% of users use 80% of bandwidth. Jeez.

IQ Crew

Can Dr. Roberts  describe the security "inside the net" that he is working on?

Thinkernetter

can he explained to us in simple terms about this routing econoics he wrote about sometime on the thinkernneter blog?

Researcher

Other questions, guys (and girls)?

IQ Crew

Will TCP/IP be displaced eventually on the Internet? is there room for it to grow with the future of the Internet? For how long?

Thinkernetter

support IPv6, that is....

IQ Crew

My old mac has for 2 years

 

IQ Crew

Wow, that's the first time I've heard anyone praise Windows Vista (even if it was for saying that it supports IPv6)

IQ Crew

IQ Crew

All of this talk of packets, does anyone have gum?

IQ Crew

What does D. rRoberts think of the ICANN address extensions in native language?

Thinkernetter

Does Dr. Roberts see progress in the handling of P2P worldwide? If not, why not? If so, why?

Thinkernetter

can he explained to us how real time search will impact the internet?

Researcher

We're aliiiive. Exciting.

IQ Crew

Researcher

Paul, you're right. If you have a freezing question for Roberts, we'll accept those as well.

IQ Crew

IQ Crew

What does the future look like for packet switching and for IP?

Thinkernetter

IQ Crew

what does he think of Cerf?

IQ Crew

Is Dr. Roberts here?

Thinkernetter

why should the question be burning in the first place?

Researcher

I'll give the first person to ask a question right now a virtual high five for being brave.

IQ Crew

I find it hard to believe that no one has a burning question for Larry Roberts.

IQ Crew

I'm on a look out for the mother. she might tell all.

IQ Crew

I think that's a scoop right there.

IQ Crew

Paul's the father of the Internet?!

IQ Crew

Is someone else here claiming to be the father of the Internet? Paul?

IQ Crew

Yeah... let's get some questions on this board!

IQ Crew

Dr. Roberts is expected to join us, post-audio, but don't wait til then to start firing your questions and comments over

IQ Crew

"ability of broadband providers to use their last mile infrastructure to block Internet applications and content" what.the.ferraro does this mean?

Afternoon, everybody... thanks for joining us for this sit-down with Larry Roberts

IQ Crew

@artfrankmiami, what is that camera worth today?

IQ Crew

Everyone can feel free to get some questions in early.

IQ Crew

Larry Roberts is a big deal!

IQ Crew

Not bad... 16 minutes before the show.

IQ Crew

talk about a tail gate..SHEESH.

IQ Crew

back in 2000, befre I got this job I have now, I was starting a web comic using photographs instead of drawings. Though I had a $5000 digital camera, I needed to shoot outside and it had to be connected to the computer to operate. It was just too expensive back then to shoot on film. Now it would be so easy, but I have no time.

IQ Crew

smkinoshita: There's a blogspot for web comics?

IQ Crew

If you look carfully at that domain name, you realize why sometimes you need to put in spaces.

IQ Crew

http://www.cognosexpress.com/

IQ Crew

Web Hosting. I love how affortdable it is compared to the crap I went through in 1998 on ONE SITE! $250 a year hosting and $70 for the domain (only minimum then was 2 years). Now I pay $99 and can have unlimited domains (and I can become a reseller if i want to) and a domain name is only $10 a year!

IQ Crew

thanks for a good chat session. I'm running to have lunch now and will definitely catch up with u later. Thanx

Researcher

I just don't recall what they think IBM is doing wrong, but the article I read was positive FOR IBM to continue whatever it was they are doing.

IQ Crew

so how do you see the web hosting business shaping up?

Researcher

why would they want to ban it in the first place? Which rules or regulations does it violate?

Researcher

and yes, the US Govt. I think Department of Commerce.

IQ Crew

No it was something that IBM is developing or doing right now that they are more successful at than anyone else, I just can't think what the heck it is! The website thing was about my job, Hosting and building the site, which I feel they were not successful at. (at least back in 2000).

IQ Crew

Tha's ok . So what is the name of the webistes that the govt is trying to shut down? Do you mean the U.S. govt?

Researcher

But I just recall when i started working at this job and accepted a call from IBM about building our website and it became a conference call with about 5 people in two different locations discussing things that had nothing to do with what we wanted and I could only think "What a bloated company!" But now I do hear they are going gangbusters, but I can't recall why, but the govt is trying to shut them down, I think for monopolistic attitudes, about something. (Oh, I type slow, paul)

IQ Crew

Shhhhh! Don't say that, Nicole might hear! ((;0) I'm so embarrassed, but there is no privacy on the web...I think I read that here.

IQ Crew

why so intrigue by nicole's beauty? Should there be a blog post on that for discussions on the boards?lol

Researcher

It's (IBM) is December 10th, so I might have the day free to go and it never hurts to learn about something new.

IQ Crew

Well, captivating is the right word today. I came across an old poster I designed of a photograph I took of model Monika Kramlik back in 2002, so I googled her and....Captivating is the right word ((;0)

But Nicole is still more beautiful!!!!!

IQ Crew

wel, why not use the opportunity then? IBM is one of thos eleading companies that are shaping the tech world, so they must be offering soemthing exciting in the launch

Researcher

I have no idea. I just got an e-mail invite and wondered if it was something I should attend. I guess being clueless is a good indicator i should go so I can learn what the heck it is and what it's used for.

IQ Crew

so which aspect of the internet that is so captivating you lately?

Researcher

Yeah, I think I said the same thing last time, don't worry about it, hahaha

IQ Crew

What is so intriguing about the launch? Anthing of significance to share with us?

Researcher

Thanks for letting me know. I only notice the time differential just now and i was kind of like wacking my head trying to figure it out.

Researcher

So....anybody know what IBM's COGNOS Express is and should I go to the launch event just for the free lunch?

IQ Crew

Ha! I was just about to reply, "Carlos, how did he get here so fast again, and why don't you stay," and DARN, Paul beat me here first, then I realized it must be a bug in the system, becuase this is the same comment I saw Carlos made before...just look at the date...or he's been waiting for this broadcast since October 22! ((:0)

The US loses about $20 billion a year on pirated software, movies, and music. But public policy can help stem the tide of digital theft. For example, France has recently passed a 'three strikes and you’re out' law, whereby if after two warning letters an individual continues to download pirated software then his Internet access will be cut off. US policy makers should consider adopting similar policies.
