"The [resonant computing] Manifesto promises to fix everything that’s wrong on the internet right now. But you look at the authors and the signers, you’ll see the same guys who caused the present problems. These guys made it rich on the Torment Nexus and they’re now claiming they can fix it."

Back in the 1990s, in the first flowering of the World Wide Web, the Silicon Valley guys were way into their manifestos. “A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace”! The “Cluetrain Manifesto!…

Als das World Wide Web in der zweiten Hälfte der 1990er größer und unübersichtlicher wurde und es mit Suchmaschinen los ging, war es hilfreich, wenn man die Eigenheiten der unterschiedlichen Suchmaschinen kannte, um passend zum Anwendungsfall diejenige auszuwählen, die am geeignetsten erschien.

You can find, almost anywhere in the world, an affordable web hosting with the saint quadrinity of LAMP: Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP; an OS, a web server, a database server, and a scripting language, in an inexpensive package, enabling the masses to go further. Paraphrasing George Clooney, what else?"

The Toyota Corolla Of Programming
In 1995, an otherwise unknown software developer released the first version of a new scripting language whose explicit aim was to make applications for this new platform called "The World Wide Web".
