The trouble with the internet is it was designed to withstand Nuclear attacks. You can't stop the signal.

The internet, dial up, they earliest form was invented by the Department of Defense for secure communication for the US military. It was a really complicated yet basic form of IMing. CERN, the european civilian agency that runs the LHC tweaked (actually it was one guy working at CERN, not the entire agency) it so that it could be accessible to anyone and not just people who knew complicated code. The people at CERN did this because they needed a way to quickly transmit and receive data from scientists around the world, to share research and all that good stuffDanik93 said:I thought that the US military invented it? please tell me more!GrinningManiac said:HA!
