straffo! 5.55am? Tu t'est levé ŕ la bonne heure!

Been thinking about this internet "ownership" thing a bit more. Anyone who thinks that any particular country "owns" it or "controls" it doesn't have a clue about the very nature of it. If there was a power failure in the whole of the US, I bet I could still access websites in Europe, Australia etc. Granted, it might be slower because of longer routing (to OZ) and the increased amount of traffic competing for the same routing, but I'm sure it could be done. The Internet was designed to be decentralised.

And who needs pron when Amsterdam is a 40 minute flight away.

bell was a brit, and became a naturalized american in 1882. he and his wife are buried in nova scotia.

Good find, and who really knows if it's even true. Technically it was invented  in America by an American, where it was patented.

It's like people who claimed to have flown before the Wrights. No proof verses proof.

Wright bro's were more involved in research than A.G.Bell who simply patented an invention he didn't research.
Or are you also claiming that Macrosoft invented double clicking?
