IWW
Interplanetary Wide Web | |
Please, throw in some completely trivial http server on one of them rovers, just have it return 200 or something.
Sure the hits will queue up, but we'll finally be able to do something with that first W.

Despite having a neat logo, there's a reason why this organizations's web page is liberally doused in red. And it has nothing to do with Mars, the Red Planet. [jurist, Oct 04 2004]

It should be MWW, but it sure would be fun to download pictures straight from the rover. Perhaps you can find something else to flip the other two Ws. Mars Munching Maniac wouldn't make much sense though. |
|
| |
Hmm -- I'm just looking for the Web to reach beyond the planet. |
|
| |
I think the Mars thing might just have to settle for a new suffix, after they declare independence. |
|
| |
And of course ditto on the direct download -- actually driving it around might be nice, too. |
|
| |
You'd might need to rewrite your browser, though, as they tend to wait only between 20 and 30 seconds for a response. |
|
| |
st3f -- that time is typically site specific, even page specific. You can create a page that never ends -- I've done it to simulate push. |
|
| |
jurist -- if need be, we'll stomp all over the proletariat. And we can always fall back on gww or uww, and at worst, lcww for local cluster wide web |
|
| |
Whoa there tc. I'm talking about the time the browser will wait if it hears *nothing* back from an IP address. It cannot be site specific as nothing has yet been communicated from the site. |
|
| |
Since Mars is, at closest, several light-minutes away from earth, the http request will not have been received by the server before your browser times out. |
|
| |
It's not a killer blow -- it's just a matter of writing a browser with a configurable time-out, so that it will wait long enough for a response. Oh yeah, that and interplanetary bandwidth getting a little cheaper. Hopefully we'll all have dropped the www thing by then anyway. |
|
| |
st3f -- point taken -- we'll have to make the proxy fake it for the initial set up |
|

I don't think I've ever read anything like this in sci-fi.

//I don't think I've ever read anything like this in sci-fi.//
I read something like this in /A Fire Upon the Deep/ by Vernor Vinge. The core of the "web" equivalent was sentient, independent, and had a memorandum of understanding with humans. |

I came here to post a link to the Industrial Workers of the World. [jurist] beat me to it. A fishbone for disappointment. |

BTW, you missed the grammatical point of the naming of the World Wide Web. It doesn't describe a "Wide Web" of the "World", but rather a "Web" which is "World Wide". "Interplanetary" is an adjective, thus "Interplanetary Wide" makes no sense, therefore you mean a "Wide Web" which is "Interplanetary". This is gramatically unwieldy and redundant and would make the Baby Jesus cry if he spoke English, which he probably doesn't. If you're going to propose an idea like this, it would have to be the Interplanetary Web or maybe the Galaxy Wide Web. |

Instead of it returning 200, how about 300, the movie. This is IWW! |
