Last word on the subject putz. Obtuse means you approached a topic at some odd angle that others might not immediately comprehend. Saying it means 'somehow slow' does the full meaning an injustice. Obtuseness can be a good thing. "Thinking outside the box" can be 'obtuse' thinking. Illiterate sch

The most bizarre 'benefit' of CypherPunk list to foreign people like me is learning new bad words and adjetives almost all the weeks... :P Already knowed 'obtuse' because its writting and sound remembers a lot 'obtuso' in Portuguese. The word is used the same way here. It's a pity to learn that

VC never said he developed TCP/IP alone, which is why I said co-invented. Of course there were previous tries at solving networking problems that were learned from, but they were flawed and we no longer use any of them. Similarly, every patent depends on the existence of prior ideas, but is rec

This is exactly what I mean... CERF DID NOT DEVELOP TCPIP ALONE, hence all sorts of offshoots like TP-K inos, jnos etc b/c a ham radio operator who was on the tcipip dev team 'did a Torvalds'. It's like saying Wozniak and Gates developed personal computers. It's literally idiotic and historically
