The Government is Just Going to Keep on Till they Control the Internet

Um, old guy here.

Do you guys remember (no, of course not) that the predecessor of the "Internet" used to be ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network).

Like the internet was invented by a government agency. A US government agency. So a paranoid title like "government wants to control the internet" is sorta ironic to the point of hilarity.

I love the free-market as much as anybody here, but the "the government is evil - all the time" meme that floats around here is starting to border on self-parody.

Old guy here too. Remember how it was all text based and no GUI ? A Mouse was something you called an exterminator for.

this is totally bullshit however these stupid politicians no nothing of the future of the internet.

Imagine a dynamically changing domain ip. www.somecrazyasssite.com will have dynamically changing ip address and it will be hosted across several thousand servers all over the world. It can never be shut down.
