Who invented LOL and when?

Nobody knows who or when LOL actually was invented, but it first appeared on the USENET (a precursor to the internet), so it's been around longer than you think.In the mid 1980's it was in use in the early chat rooms in AOL chat. Much of the early texting came out of these sources and moved into texting now in use.


Who was the first person to find out about ISP?

DARPA, but you connected through a special minicomputer they provided called an IMP. It wasn't called the internet then, it was ARPANET. It was not available to the public: only government and university sites.AnswerSpike Ilacqua has claimed to have created the first public ISP. Prof. Andrew Burt, of the University of Denver, was slightly earlier, creating Nyx (then nyx.cs.du.edu, now nyx.net) in January 1989.yes, of course Spike llacqua was one of the first technical brain behind providing an ISP but PSINetwas one of the first company for providing an ISP. (Internet Service Provider).Barry Shein started an ISP from the unix consulting company Tool & Die in 1989, it was for USENET News.


Who created the perl programming language?

It was invented by Larry Wall in the mid-1980's (first posted to the 'comp.sources' Usenet newsgroup in late 1987). Perl has rapidly become the language of choice for writing programs quickly and robustly across a wide range of fields - ranging from systems administration, text processing, linguistic analysis, molecular biology and (most importantly of all) the creation of dynamic World Wide Web pages. It has been estimated that about 80% of dynamic webpages worldwide are being created by Perl programs. More and more companies are realizing that setting up a glitzy Website with lots of pretty Web pages is not enough. The Web really becomes an effective tool for you and your customers when E-Commerce steps in - when your Website is linked seamlessly to your corporate information systems. A typical example of this is using the Web to take orders from customers. To provide these sort of service you need to create dynamic web pages based on Web forms and image maps, often retrieving information from relational database systems. Perl provides excellent support for creating dynamic web pages and connecting to databases.


Is there a list of the names of everyone who fought in the Battle of Hastings?

No. In those days only aristocrats had family names. Most people were just known by one given name. Please also remember that soldiers didn't have a metal disc or any like that to identify them.--------------There is a list of Normans at the Battle. It is almost certainly accurate but it seems, to me, unlikely to be exhaustive. :Normans at the Battle of HastingsThis list was copied from a posting on the Usenet newsgroup soc.history.medieval by William Addams Reitwiesner. He explained the derivation of the list:The list of persons actually known to have been at the Battle of Hastings on the side of William the Conqueror is printed in the second edition of Cokayne's Complete Peerage, vol XII, Part I, Appendix pp. 47-48, as part of Appendix L. Numbers 1-12 are recorded by William of Poitiers, number 13 is portrayed in a battle scene in the Bayeux Tapestry, and 14 and 15 are named by Orderic. 16-19 were in William's army and almost certainly at the battle (16 named by William of Poitiers, 17-19 portrayed in the Bayeux Tapestry), but there is no direct statement that they actually were at the Battle of Hastings. Number 20 is stated by Orderic to have taken part in fights in the English war before William became King.Here's the list as it was posted:01. Robert de Beaumont, afterwards Count of Meulan and Earl of Leicester02. Eustace, Count of Boulogne03. William, afterwards 3rd Count of Evreux04. Geoffrey of Mortagne, afterwards Count of Perche05. William FitzOsbern, afterwards Earl of Hereford06. Aimery, vicomte of Thouars07. Hugh de Montfort, seigneur of Montfort-sur-Risle08. Walter Giffard, seigneur of Longueville09. Ralph de Toeni, seigneur of Conches10. Hugh de Grandmesnil, seigneur of Grandmesnil11. William de Warenne, afterwards Earl of Surrey12. William Malet, seigneur of Graville13. Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux, afterwards Earl of Kent14. Turstin FitzRou15. Engenulf de Laigle, seigneur of Laigle16.Geoffrey de Mowbray, Bishop of Coutances17.

What is the history of Linux?

History Of Linux The Linux kernel has been marked by constant growth throughout its history. Since the initial release of its source code in 1991, it has grown from a small number of C files under a license prohibiting commercial distribution to its state in 2007 of about 290 megabytes of source under the GNU General Public License In 1991, in Helsinki, Linus Torvalds began a project that later became the Linux kernel. It was initially a terminal emulator, which Torvalds used to access the large UNIX servers of the university. He wrote the program specifically for the hardware he was using and independent of an operating system because he wanted to use the functions of his new PC with an 80386 processor. Development was done on Minix using the GNU C compiler, which is still the main choice for compiling Linux today (although the code can be built with other compilers, such as the Intel C Compiler). As Torvalds wrote in his book Just for Fun, he eventually realized that he had written an operating system kernel. On 25 August 1991, he announced this system in a Usenet posting to the newsgroup "comp.os.minix.": In order to facilitate development, the files were uploaded to the ftp server (ftp.funet.fi) of the Helsinki University of Technology (HUT) in September 1991. Ari Lemmke, Torvald's coworker at the HUT who was responsible for the servers at the time, did not feel Freax was a good name. Consequently, he dubbed the project "Linux" without consulting Torvalds. Later, however, Torvalds consented to "Linux": "After many arguments, he finally admitted that Linux was simply the better name. In the source code of version 0.01 of Linux, the name 'Freax' was still used in the makefile. Only later was the name Linux used. Thus the name actually not planned at all became generally accepted world-wide." Torvalds first published the Linux kernel-then exclusively known as Linux-under its own licence, which was, essentially, a shared source licence with a restriction on commercial activity. With code from the GNU system freely available, it seemed advantageous if this could be used with the Linux kernel. In 1992, he suggested to switch to the GNU General Public License. He first announced this change in the release notes of version 0.12. In the middle of December 1992 he published version 0.99 using the GNU GPL. Linux and GNU developers worked to integrate GNU components with Linux to make a fully functional and free operating system. Torvalds has stated, "making Linux GPL'd was definitely the best thing I ever did".
