Top Ten Internet unsung heroes: the inventor of emoticons selected

Swedish IT services company Pingdom Zhou Yizhuan paper on the history of the development of Internet technology and its inventors famous ten were introduced, including GIF, RSS, Ping, @ symbol, and smiley face and so on. But these people have one thing in common: Although they invented the warhammer gold technology is well known, but they themselves are not well known.

The following is the text of the article:

Since yesterday was Father's Day in Sweden, so he wanted us to launch a topic, to introduce some of those who make outstanding contributions to the Internet. There are some obvious candidates, including TCP / IP inventor temperature Tese Fu (Vint Cerf) and Bob Kahn (Bob Kahn), the idea of ??the Internet, many of the concept of Fan Neiwa Bush (Vannevar Bush), raised the concept of hypertext Ted Nelson (Ted Nelson), the World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners - Lee (Tim Berners-Lee) and the Mosaic browser, Marc Andreessen, co-inventor (Marc Andreeseen).

But why introduce these well-known people? We believe that the historical development of the Internet are some less well-known warhammer gold contributors would be more meaningful. Contribution of these people also brought us a significant impact, but did not get a few people with the same honor. So, although this does not fully comply with the theme of Father's Day, let us look back with it.

1, GIF: Special (Steve Wilhite)

GIF stands for "Graphics Interchange Format" (Graphics Interchange Format), the Internet has long been a standard image format. How can we forget those vivid pages of dynamic pictures? This image format by Will Haight invented in 1987, he was working for Compuserve. Although the GIF JPG and PNG has basically been replaced, but there are still many people think, GIF may also resurrection.

2, RSS: Dave Winer (Dave Winer)

This problem exists some controversy, so we venture to self-assertion. RSS is "RSS" (Real Simple Syndication) short, some data warhammer gold show that the technology derived from RDF, RSS is the first edition of Stanley from the Netscape than (Dan Libby) and Rama that Sen Guha (Ramanathan V. Guha) invented in 1999. However, we believe that specific to the popularity of RSS, no one's contribution to greater than Wenner, so we selected him as the inventor of RSS.

3, Ping: Mike Moose (Mike Muuss)

Ping is a Muslim in 1983, invented a very simple tool, contains only 1000 lines of code. However, this tool is now almost all of the operating warhammer gold system used, the network administrator for all the world, this is a very valuable tool.

4, IE1.0: Thomas Lille Teng (Thomas Reardon)

The same with many other Microsoft products, IE origin, also from outside the company. IE1.0 is the Spyglass Mosaic's revision, which is Microsoft Office licensed from Spyglass in 1994 from a product. Reardon was working in Microsoft's code developed using Spyglass IE1.0, and in 1995 launched this product. Although IE's market share has slipped recently, but according to Internet traffic monitoring bodies Statcounter's data, the product is still more than 40% of computer use.

5, the @ symbol: Ray Tomlinson (Ray Tomlinson)

In 1971, Tomlinson needs a character to distinguish between e-mail address of the host name and user name. So he looked at the warhammer gold keyboard, find the @ symbol, and this as "obvious" choice. Today, this symbol is beyond the scope of e-mail, and is widely used in areas such as social networks and forums.

6, the smiley face: Scott Fahlman

Perhaps we should call "smiley face", but simply use the "smiley face" the word is enough to show it in an important position in our culture. Faer Man September 19, 1982 at Carnegie Mellon University message board suggested that representatives can ":-)" joke, joke, if not followed this trend is to use the situation as ":-("。 control, digital communications now form the majority of the text of these expressions are used.

7, intelligent modem: Daierhaise Burlington (Dale Heatherington)

In a very long time, intelligent modems are essential for people to access the device. Even in today's broadband has spread, many warhammer gold people still need to dial to the Internet. The first intelligent modem was born in 1981, 1 bit per second processing speed. He was the inventor worked at Hayes Computer Products Company (Hayes Microcomputer Products) of Heather Burlington.

8, BIND: Terry, Pant, Rigby and Zhou Songnian

BIND stands for "Berkeley Internet Domain Name" (Berkeley Internet Name Domain), it is likely that you use every day, but warhammer gold know nothing about them, one of the most important software. This is a widely used DNS server software. Internet performance testing company The Measurement Factory 2010 survey in August, BIND nearly 800,000 respondents in the host to occupy 34.2% of the share. University of California, Berkeley, Douglas Terry (Douglas Terry), Mark Pant (Mark Painter), David Rigby (David Riggle) and Songnian Zhou (Songnian Zhou, transliteration) co-invented the BIND.

9, PHP: Rasmus Lerdorf Dov

Now in PHP programming language TIOBE Programming Community Index ranked fifth on the list, but no matter how rankings are warhammer gold denied it has become a very popular scripting language used by many sites. Le Duofu in 1995 invented the first version of PHP, and later wrote the second edition.

10, Intel 4004: French King, Hove, Maazel and Masatoshi Shima

Intel 4004 has no direct relationship with the Internet, but the development of network technology had a tremendous impact. As the world's first single-chip microprocessors, we are now in the PC, smart phones and tablet PCs can be found in its direct and indirect descendants.

The chip is Intel's Federico Law Gold (Federico Fagin), Ted Hoff (Ted Hoff) and Stan Lima Zell (Stanley Mazor) and Busicom's Masatoshi Shima common design. 4004 launched in 1971, built 2,300 transistors. In contrast, Intel will launch the 2012 Ivy Bridge processor warhammer gold with 14 million transistors.

Salute

Over the past 40 years, many of the world's most intelligent people have been engaged in cool and warhammer gold exciting Internet technology. These people may not like their counterparts frequently seen in the newspapers, but we still want to be able to tell you some things you may not know, let you use every day have more understanding of these technologies.
