 | | Timothy Berners-Lee | | | Meet Tim Berners-Lee | | | He's the guy who invented the World Wide Web | | Network designer, the inventor of the World Wide Web, born in London, UK. He studied physics at Oxford (1973–6), then worked for various companies in telecommunications and computing. In 1984 he took up a fellowship at CERN, Geneva, to work on distributed real-time systems for scientific data acquisition and system control. In 1989 he proposed a global hypertext project, initially with the international physics community in mind, which was implemented on the Internet in 1991. He joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1994, becoming the first holder of the 3 Com (Computer Communications Compatability) chair in 1999. He is also director of the World Wide Web Consortium and his book, Weaving the Web, appeared in 1999. He became a fellow of the Royal Society in 2001, and was knighted in 2004. | | |

|  | | Ray Tomlinson | | | Meet Ray Tomlinson | | | He's the guy who invented Email | | In 1971, while working at computer company Bolt, Beranek and Newman in Cambridge, Massachusetts, (USA) he decided to see if two of the machines in his laboratory could exchange messages. | | And, why did he do it? Mostly because it seemed like a neat idea. There was no directive to “go forth and invent e-mail”. The ARPANET was a solution looking for a problem. A colleague suggested that I not tell my boss what I had done because e-mail wasn’t in our statement of work. That was really said in jest because we were, after all, investigating ways in which to use the ARPANET. | |

|  | | Woody Mann | | | Meet Woody Mann | | | A guitar virtuoso from New York City | | "Every now and then, you hear a guitarist whose sound is completely his own and whose music flirts with several styles, never resting for very long with just one. Woody Mann is an artist who seems to have internalized many different genres and combined them in a way that is more than the sum of its parts. What is remarkable is how he can draw from several styles and techniques within a single song and have them blend without the feeling of inconsistency. Woody Mann's performance is inspired from start to finish". | | MUSICIAN MAGAZINE | | Woody Mann's Web site | Accoustics Sessions (Woody's other Web site) | |

 | Meet My Staff | | | My [fictional] personal assistants extraordinaires | | Manuela.Bradshaw@jrdias.com | | Isabel.Jones@jrdias.com | | Ana.York@jrdias.com | | Francisca.Hobbes@jrdias.com |  | No! Girls on the picture at left are not who you thing they are! And, despite the fact that there are no assistants in my office, their email addresses attract hundreds of pieces of correspondence every day. Most of their mail deals with huge investment opportunities (specially from Africa), exciting holiday gifts, and various solicitations of a personal nature. Additionally, owing to an unexpected surplus of telephone extensions in my Lisbon office, I've assigned my assistants' their own direct phone lines, to which unwanted telephone solicitations are promptly forwarded with great prejudice. | |

Ajude na luta contra o e-mail não solicitado | | For the record, | |  | I hate spam. | | |
| I and my friends and business associates waste a significant amount of time deleting spam. | | |
| I feel that those who make their living sending spam damage the whole community for the sake of greed. | | |
| The lie "you are only getting this because you have
been signed up for it" makes me sick. | | |
| I would support legislation which made it illegal to
falsify or omit the full identification of those
responsible for any commercial mail. | | |
| I believe that the falsification of email headers for one's own gain and other's loss is fraudulent. | | | Learn about SPAM! Visit SpamAbuse.org. | Have a Web site? Join the fight against Spam! | SPAM Glossary | Learn how to spam-proof your Web site. | Make your Web site a spamtrap! | |
