"A question about the Earth.Net in the 2400's"
|
Return-Path: <durandal@durandal.wpi.k12> Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2405 02:52:05 -0400 (EDT) X-Sender: durandal@localhost.localdomain To: "Azalynn dv'Ir Natashkan" <azalynn@wpi.k12> Subject: question
I hate to nitpick -- Well, not really, I love to nitpick... I am a programmer after all, and nitpicking is part of the game -- but shouldn't that be something more like @wpi.k12.ma.us? I wouldn't ask but for two reasons. (A) The stories specifically note that there is still a United States of America* and (B) I creating a dot-k12 would help the ever-growing Internet -- specifically since dot-us and dot-enter-your-state-here extensions would allow for much more schools than just dot-k12. Anyway, not trying to detract from the otherwise great* stories, I just wanted ask*. (*Note: I forgot about the Canadian excursion in SOS1 whilst reading SOS3 and waited until one of the Intermezzo pieces to realize there were still nations.) (*Note: Great as in "Dude, this is almost like the Core stories all over again! I' forgotten how much I ewnjoyed WPI as reflected through (alumni) Wedge rat eyes.) (*Note: I also just like to nitpick computer stuff in fiction; it's one reason I like Neal Stephenson so much... He gets it right, as opposed to many others.)

Actually, being that WPI is a private institution, I suspect it ought to have been something more esoteric, like "worcesterprep.org", but I didn't feel like doing that, so I made up the k12 TLD to be akin to .edu. Plus, the way .us is administered irritated the heck out of me back when I was a hostmaster. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

Yeah, actually, that's two mistakes in one. There's no Daylight Savings Time foolishness in the twenty-fifth century. It ought to read "-0500 (ET)". In fact... it does. --G.

LAST EDITED ON Sep-04-01 AT 10:11 PM (EDT) I believe it's: >X-Sender: durandal@localhost.localdomain
