That's hilarious really. To mention that the internet was developed long before this on BSD systems probably isn't necessary. It also shouldn't be necessary for anyone who has followed the internet to mention Bill Gates' famous 1994 speech where he said that the internet was a play thing for researchers and academics and that Windows would never need to support TCP/IP. Next year (after someone obviously had a word in his ear) he basically said that Microsoft had just invented TCP/IP. Maybe this is where your confusion is coming from. And in the end I doubt that FreeBSD core team will be responsible for the end of the world lol. It's going a long way past reasonableness, and to answer it adequately would require a flame. Thus this will be my last post on this thread.
