@lmARocker The Americans had nothing to do with this

@Paskovitchz The internet was invented in the USA by DARPA. They created DARPANET in 1969 which was the first packet switching network, and in the 1970s they created TCP/IP, with DARPANET becoming 100% TCP/IP in 1983 - a large TCP/IP network, i.e. an internet. The World Wide Web i.e. the idea of having interlinked pages of hypertext *on* the internet, was invented in Britain in 1990.

You must be the moron Read below I'm a Dog and know better!

Question Who invented the Internet? Answer A single person did not create the Internet that we know and use today. Below is a listing of several different people who've helped contribute and develop the Internet.

Introduction of the Internet to the general public

UCLA puts out a press release introducing the public to the Internet on July 3, 1969.

@RasterGraph I also used the term "enter service' parenthetically due to the fact that merely carrying a little over 3000 passengers over 55 commercial flights can hardly be considered service of any kind. Think they did more mail flights than passenger flights...

@beeroosterm

Yes sorry. I did use "enter service" incorrectly.

@RasterGraph The -144 entered "service" long after the Concorde - although it did beat the Concorde into the air by a few months...

@Paskovitchz You sure it wasn't in CERN?

[kellogs345]

@ReDDDgo yes, thats because it exploded in the air

2) Concorde development started before the Tu-144 however the Tu-144 did enter service before Concorde. However after numerous crashes it was removed from passenger service. Also there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that shows the Tu-144 was built using stolen Concorde designs.

So hence the Tu-144 is nothing but a cheap and useless knock-off.

Your post is fallacy.

There are many superior soviet aircraft designs. This is NOT one of them.

@ReDDDgo

You must be trolling right? Otherwise this is the most fail logic ever.

Let me rip apart everything you have posted.

1) Cruise Speed of concord is faster and top speed is debatable. There is almost no info on the take-off length of the Tu-144 so I call bullshit on your claim of a shorter take-off distance. The service ceiling is also less on the Tu-144.

Round one CONCORDE.

@jjabroni56 If you´re referring to the "fuck you America" or to the "buttmunch" bit (or to any other), I still think the same way: do you seriously care so much about just a random individual like any other throwing tantrums? I wouldn´t. And in fact I don´t when someone insults my nationality. It´s their problem only. For me, they´re like those stupid tiny dogs that bark nonstop. Nothing serious you should care about, but rather a show to have fun with while eating some popcorns...
