      The internet was invented in the UK
      The intranet was the US invention this is a localised server
      But from memory
      Http protocols was Australian as an EU country I can't remember
      And the UK invented ipv4 protocols
      If I got it the right way around
      America invented the precursor to the internet

      * The internet isn't attributed to a single inventor. It's the result of many researchers and engineers working together for decades.
      **Key Contributors:**
      * **Vinton Cerf (USA) and Robert Kahn (USA):** Developed the **Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)** in the 1970s. TCP/IP is the communication language that allows computers across networks to talk to each other, regardless of their location or manufacturer. This became the foundation for the internet.
      * **Tim Berners-Lee (UK):** Invented the **World Wide Web (WWW)** in 1989 while working at CERN, a European research organization. The Web revolutionized how we interact with the internet by introducing features like web browsers, URLs (website addresses), and HTML (hypertext markup language).
      * **Tim Berners-Lee (UK):** Also invented the **Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)** alongside the World Wide Web. HTTP defines the rules for how web browsers and servers communicate to exchange information. It works in a request-response manner, where a browser sends a request (e.g., to get a webpage) and the server sends back a response containing the requested data.
      **In Essence:**
      * TCP/IP by Cerf and Kahn provided the communication backbone.
      * The World Wide Web and HTTP by Berners-Lee created the user-friendly interface and communication protocol for navigating and sharing information on the internet.
      These advancements, along with many others, built upon each other to create the internet we know today.

    I was a metropolitan police officer in inner London for decades , for part of this period I was an authorised shot ( firearms officer).
    This included the period where the PIRA terrorist campaign was taking place in London.
    During those years I was shot at threatened with knives suffered significant injuries but managed throughout that time not to use my firearm to shoot anyone.
    There is another way.

      mate you could say that a million times and they just wont understand. i watched a video 2 days ago where 5 police cars chased a stolen car for miles through a solid traffic jam smashing through about 15 stationary cars just for the suspect to get away at the end, i tried to tell them that if that happened in the uk it they would be uproar and that our officers would have handled it in another way. the amount of stupidity and nasty comments like 'your cops would have just run away' or 'yeh thats why we have less crime than you' was just staggering. it made me realise (or reaffirmed really) how brainwashed and sensitive their population truly is. in the end i had to tell them that ive seen 5 foot tall females officers take down 6foot knife wielding maniacs without using a weapon compared with their 20 officers firing guns in all directions in neighbourhoods full of children and they still argued that they had it better. its crazy

      ​@@GeekyC. hey, firstly i completely understand where you are coming from, i also hate that you or any of us have to face those dangers jat all. id say that (if you live in the uk like me) we live in a pretty safe country and if you are street smart and not reckless then you are pretty much going to be ok, i feel everyone has a responsibility for their own welfare and to not be reckless in the face of potential danger. (if we had lions in the uk we wouldnt wander alone in fields lol). i appreciate you can be unlucky and meet the wrong person in the wrong place unfortunately but i dont think you can live your life worrying about that, that is human nature and unless the is a police officer every 20 metres on every street then its impossible to avoid. i also agree that our cops are pretty useless, have a severe lack of compassion, understanding and communication skills, ive experienced a lot of that from them. they seam to have compassion fatigue too which is sometimes understandable but their arrogance isnt. in terms of pepper spray i fully get your wish to be able to protect yourself and wish it was that easy but i cant support even that being made legal, its a downhill slope that is unstoppable at that point. think of this as one example, as a bloke ive experienced plenty of crazy, drunk girls that might not be very nice people and ive seen girls throw drinks and objects at guys in clubs or the street for no reason etc, ive seen tonnes of little scuffles with drunk guys. if each of those people was allowed to carry any weapons then it would have been a lot worse. also if you are allowed pepper spray then so is the guy that may attack you, so then we'd have to argue maybe you need a knife or tazer to stop them when youre blinded and it just escalates from there. youre best off going to a martial arts or self defence course and learning the physical skills needed to not lose the fight, be able to recognise threats, dont put yourself in front of danger for no reason, dont walk alone, let people know where you are, put an app on your phone to detect if youre being knocked over, and use what is around you of the worst happens . bricks, bottles, sticks, stones etc

    My interactions with the police have been very positive. In the 1990s I picked my car up from the garage. It broke down 3 times on the way home. The third time it was pouring with rain and I broke down on the busiest roundabout in Peterborough. Somebody rang the police cos within seconds they were there, put a cordon around me, parked their car behind me with lights flashing. The police fixed my car and drove behind me until I got home! Amazing!

    So far this year there have been 405 deaths in the US caused by Police. This number includes both justified and wrongful deaths.
    The US has on average, a population that is 5.02 times higher than the UK.

    Instead there has been 1
    In fact, there have been 81 deaths caused by Police in the UK since 01/04/1995

      Its all about concept, the police in the UK are considered civilians in uniform, they are given by the public consent, which means the police operate in that format and are not paramilitary. In the US the police are paramilitary organisations, they enforce the law but are not governed by consent of the public, hence their aggressive manner, also it does not help if you think every one is your enemy and has a gun.

      Violent crime fell steadily from 2003 to 2013 but has increased a lot since then and is now almost double the level of 2003, one thing that has to be taken into account is that the UK classes threatening behaviour and verbal abuse as violent crime unlike the US which only classes verbal assault (imminent danger threat) as a low level misdemeanour and verbal abuse is legal, this difference makes it difficult to compare the two countries.

    When I hear news on TV about the American police, their reactions are very extreme, like the one you described in the video. Usually the police at a check ask you for your identity document and those of the car. They do not have this aggressive attitude and do not require you to get out of the car unless you are wanted or suspected of some crime. Normally policemen are considered as someone to turn to in situations of danger or need, even just for directions. Hearing that many are afraid to go to the police is quite shocking and strange for our habits in Europe.

    I’m English, and the beautiful city I live in always has groups of police officers out in the community. Any opportunity I get I’ll chat to a few of them, see what they’re up to then go about my day. Everyone seems to appreciate their presence, there are no weapons as a rule (sometimes we get armed officers, but we get a lot of Royal visits. Plus, the Duke of Westminster lives here and he’s a Royal) and they’re all polite

    I've only seen armed police three times in The UK: twice when flying out of Heathrow, and once when a disgruntled trucker threatened to blow him self up on Tottenham Court Road in the office across the street from the office I worked in. The building was evacuated (everyone within a mile ended up in the nearest pub for the afterrnoon) and armed police occupied the building.

    Yes, the "C" in BBC is "Corporation," but it has a different meaning in the UK. It means a public rather than a private organisation, like a local/municipal council. The BBC actually runs the largest and best-funded news-gathering organisation in the world. Nothing else - even CNN - comes close.

    America invented the internet but the UK invented the WWW format that the world uses.
    The reason that America has slower internet is because there are only a few internet providers who have a monopoly of the business.
    This means there is very little competition so they give you slower broadband.
    They have the technology to give you faster broadband but they will also make you pay a higher cost for it.

    The internet in its earliest form was invented by the US. But it was purely text based. The britain Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the WWW allowing pictures and video to be transmitted via the internet. He gifted his invention to the world. if he'd have patented it he would probably be the richest man in the world now.

    • @andywilliams7323
      @andywilliams7323 Місяць тому

      No, it wasn't. The only British contribution to the internet was the theoretical idea of packet switching (splitting large data into a series of smaller packets that would travel separately along the network via varied routes and then join back together at the receiving end). But it was the Americans who actually developed, built and implemented the idea, and it was the Americans who created and built all of the other infrastructure, systems and protocols that made up the Internet. The British contribution to the creation of the Internet was absolutely tiny and negligible.
      Britain's dramatically massive and seismic contribution came later with the creation of the World Wide Web, which made it possible for absolutely everyone all over the world to easily access and use the Internet for communication, information exchange and commerce.

      our police have specialist firearms teams that are highly trained whereas the regular bobby has tazers and extendable batons. criminals can easily obtain illegal firearms but citizens can buy a license to own one providing they meet the strict requirements as laid down in regulations and law and then the firearms have to meet certain regulatory requirements such as pistols must have long barrels and braces. also we can own long rifles and shotguns and some semi auto rifles as long as they are kept in a secure location.
