The Real Story of the World Wide Web

Come on... Ted Nelson deserves much more views! maybe Project Xanadu is vaporware, but he is a really smart old man..
On the other side you have timbl who is selling the web to Hollywood lobbies. We should start all this cyberspace and hypertext shit again.

1960 was 53 years ago.

probably the most stupid and tasteless quote in this BBS.

Of course that Xanadu may seems antiquated... C, or EVEN Scheme may seems.. obsolete for young /g/rogramers like you as well.. but if you try to be a bit more clever you will realize that it have many great an solid ideas.
Your insolent use of buzzwords (such us p2p and crypto) are not going to make his idea more powerful, because you are thinking in the infrastructure (like a nigger) while Ted is thinking/working on the fundamentals concepts of hypermedia.

I would recommend you to stop wasting your time making unimportant comments about important people. There are other places for people like you (i.e. HN).

I am not debating that if it is old, it should not be taken a look at, and that its ideas are awful. I am saying that the standard does not consider the fact that the computer world is distributed in nature, not everyone has the same internet connection or global semantics, and not everyone needs their documents eavesdropped even while reading.

I am just exemplifying that a Fossil repo is the nearest piece of software that fits those ideals, but it is distributed in nature, you can build secure connection connections, and encrypt the information itself too.

And redirecting people to other places where this information needs to be spread is fine. Why hasn't anyone made a HN or r/programming/ thread about it, eh⸮

How the hell is browsing (something that should be formatted as plain text) in 3D a good idea?

>>37

  Every user is uniquely and securely identified.

No way I'm using that in post-NSA times.

>>41
p2p and crypto are not buzzwords you piece of shit

>>44

post-nsa

What? You mean NSA times not post-nsa.

I am slow at replying back, playing all scenarios in my head for a reply (and doing other shit in the comp). Ad hominem was option # 3. Toodles!

toodle my anus

>>52
That's not how ad hominem works.

>>54
My apologies. I had thought calling someone derogatory names without a rebuttal was a attack on the person, to the responding man. My bad. I should have not taking this personally.

Honestly loving the thread so far guys: Arguments about the ideas of old grumpy sysops who did a lot of drugs and never got laid are way more interesting than they have any right to be -- especially when you throw some cranky aspies autists into the mix! (cf. >>45-55) That said, I feel that >>43 has made an excellent point and I am eagerly awaiting more discussion on this topic!

And I think you guys will appreciate this article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/1581891.stm

He was hating the WWW way back when people made Pets.com jokes unironically!

>>55
It is, but not in the way of ad hominem. What you are seeing here is name calling. Ad hominems try to discredit the source of the argument.

>>53
Consider it tootled!

>>57
discredit my anus

>>56
I didn't think my argument would make so much sense to someone else, but if I can't browse your ``new web'' from a TTY, you guys can go and jump in a lake of putrid Javashit.

My next web zone is best viewed with Oculus rift, and you need three synchronized participants to get the full experience of the dropdown menus.

Please refrain from quoting something that hasn't been said.
