Reaction to the DEC Spam of 1978 - O primeiro SPAM que existiu

[fititnt]

Link do original: http://www.templetons.com/brad/spamreact.html Descrição: Possibly the first spam ever was a message from a DEC marketing rep to every Arpanet address on the west coast, or at least the attempt at that. Existe traduções em português: não investigado

Vi isso citado no meio da tradução do #5. Deixo aqui para decidirmos se vale a pena ou não traduzir isso no futuro e, se vale a pena, alguém ficar designado para entrar em contato e pedir autorização para traduzir

Um pedaço, escrito em caixa alta. Os caras ficaram emputecidos com o spam

YOU MAY HAVE RECEIVED THE MSG SENT OUT BY DEC ON MAY 1 ABOUT WHICH I HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AS YOU CAN READILY IMAGINE. CAN YOU FORWARD THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE TO ALL ADDRESSES OF THE SUSPECT MESSAGE PLUS ALL HOST AND TIP LIAISONS? THANKS:

NOTE: Please direct your comments, if any, directly to DCACODE535@ISI. Thanks, Jake.

ON 2 MAY 78 DIGITAL EQUIPMENT CORPORATION (DEC) SENT OUT AN ARPANET MESSAGE ADVERTISING THEIR NEW COMPUTER SYSTEMS. THIS WAS A FLAGRANT VIOLATION OF THE USE OF ARPANET AS THE NETWORK IS TO BE USED FOR OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT BUSINESS ONLY. APPROPRIATE ACTION IS BEING TAKEN TO PRECLUDE ITS OCCURRENCE AGAIN.

IN ENFORCEMENT OF THIS POLICY DCA IS DEPENDENT ON THE ARPANET SPONSORS, AND HOST AND TIP LIAISONS. IT IS IMPERATIVE YOU INFORM YOUR USERS AND CONTRACTORS WHO ARE PROVIDED ARPANET ACCESS THE MEANING OF THIS POLICY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.

MAJOR RAYMOND CZAHOR

CHIEF, ARPANET MANAGEMENT BRANCH, DCA

Mesma consideração que levantei em #16.

@webiwg/colaboradores assumindo que isto é pertinente, é interessante alguém aqui ficar responsável por entrar em contato com o autor do texto em nome do nosso grupo de trabalho. Ele é interessante não apenas por essa tradução, mas para contatos futuros.

Ele é quase uma lenda viva na história, e respeitado na EFF (https://www.eff.org/). Olhem a biografia dele em http://www.templetons.com/brad/, algumas passagens:

Electronic Frontier Foundation

I'm Chaiman Emeritus of the EFF, the leading foundation protecting liberties and privacy in cyberspace. (I was chairman from 2000 to 2010 and on the board for around 20 years.) You've probably heard of the EFF, and perhaps think that because of how it was founded that it's funded by rich benefactors. Today it stands on its own and needs the support of members and donors large and small. (Begin beg break)

If you support what the EFF is doing to protect freedom of expression, privacy and civil rights online, then do something about it. Visit the EFF Web site, and at the very least join. If you can, donate -- funds are urgently needed right now. The past couple of years have been terrible for charity fundraising due to the market and it's hurting us. If, like some high-tech folk, you still have stock with unrealized capital gains, ask about the stock-donation program that can get you up to a double deduction on your taxes. Please read my letter about supporting the EFF. (link http://www.templetons.com/brad/eff.html, titulo "How I supported the Electronic Frontier Foundation and changed the world.")

E mais

ClariNet

You may know me because I was the founder and software architect of ClariNet Communications Corp., the world's first ever ".com" company (by which I mean a business based on the internet rather than one like uu.net which sold connectivity itself) and which was also the net's first and for a long time largest electronic newspaper. I founded ClariNet in 1989 in Waterloo, Ontario with the crazy idea of trying to make money publishing professional information over the net and to the net audience. It came to take up almost all my time. It became by far the largest paid subscription base on the net, and then In June of 1997, I sold ClariNet to Individual, Inc. which also publishes online news. I also have short bios for press and conferences.

I left ClariNet in 1998 after Individual merged with Desktop Data to form Newsedge Corporation. Newsedge's strong focus on business news delivery is the right strategy, but I decided to take a new direction. Since then I've done various part-time projects, including a founding role in Topica and investment and advising for a variety of startups. In addition to the nonprofit boards listed here, I'm also on the technical advisory board of BitTorrent Inc., commercializing the most popular large file publishing software on the net. My current commercial project is writing and consulting about robotic cars including advising the team building these at Google. I'm also a frequent conference speaker.

Edit, adição; Tem mais isso aqui também

Singularity University

In 2009, a new school designed to offer a multi-disciplinary graduate program about the coming 5-15 years of exponentially changing technology was created. Founders included Google, Autodesk, Cisco, Genentech, Nokia, Kauffman, Peter Diamandis of the X-Prize and inventor Ray Kurzweil, as well as NASA Ames, where it's hosted. I chair the program on computing and networking. The summer program is a real trip, with 80 fantastic students from 35 countries, and we also do shorter programs through the year both locally and around the world. It's at SingularityU.org
