The project began with email distribution on UUCP, ARPANET and CSNET in the 1980s ..

By 1991, the success of the NSFNET and NSF-sponsored regional networks had rendered the CSNET services redundant, and the CSNET network was shut down in October 1991.

The CSNET name service allowed manual and automated email address lookup based on various user attributes, such as name, title, or institution.

In the mid 1980s, early domain use included. ARPA,. UUCP,. CSNET, and. BITNET as top level domains, representing four major email networks.

The X. 25 tunneling allowed an institution to connect directly to the ARPANET via a commercial X. 25 service ( Telenet ), by which the institution's TCP / IP traffic would be tunneled to a CSNET computer that acted as a relay between the ARPANET and the commercial X. 25 networks.

While a member of the Electrical Engineering Department of the University of Delaware, he helped conceive and organize the major American research networks CSNET, NSFNet, and the National Research and Education Network ( NREN ).

MMDF was originally developed at the University of Delaware in the late 1970s, and provided the initial means of operating CSNET, the predecessor to NSFnet.

Lawrence Landweber at the University of Wisconsin-Madison prepared the original CSNET proposal, on behalf of a consortium of universities ( Georgia Tech, University of Minnesota, University of New Mexico, Oklahoma University, Purdue University, University of California-Berkeley, University of Utah, Virginia University, University of Washington, University of Wisconsin, and Yale University ).

Eventually CSNET access added TCP / IP, including running over X. 25.

Access to the ARPANET was expanded in 1981 when the National Science Foundation ( NSF ) developed the Computer Science Network ( CSNET ) and again in 1986 when NSFNET provided access to supercomputer sites in the United States from research and education organizations.

served on the executive committee of CSNET.

BBN was involved in building some of the earliest Internet networks, including ARPANET, MILNET, CSNET, and NEARNET.

The Computer Science Network ( CSNET ) was a computer network that began operation in 1981 in the United States.

CSNET was funded by the National Science Foundation for an initial three-year period from 1981 to 1984.

Once CSNET was fully operational, the systems and ongoing network operations were transferred to Bolt Beranek and Newman ( BBN ) of Cambridge, Massachusetts by 1984.

CSNET eventually connected more than 180 institutions.

One of the earliest experiments in free software distribution on a network, netlib, was available on CSNET.

CSNET was a forerunner of the National Science Foundation Network ( NSFNet ) which eventually became a backbone of the Internet.

CSNET also developed dialup-on-demand ( Dialup IP ) software to automatically initiate or disconnect SLIP sessions as needed to remote locations.

CSNET was developed on Digital Equipment Corporation ( DEC ) VAX-11 systems using BSD Unix, but it grew to support a variety of hardware and operating system platforms.

At the July 2009 Internet Engineering Task Force meeting in Stockholm, Sweden, the Internet Society recognized the pioneering contribution of CSNET by honoring it with the Jonathan B. Postel Service Award.

CSNET operated autonomously until 1989, when it merged with Bitnet to form the Corporation for Research and Educational Networking ( CREN ).

Then the vein had petered out and the whole project had been abandoned.

This project was carried out under sponsorship of the Ballistic Missile Division of the Air Research and Development Command, U.S. Air Force, and had as its goal the investigation of the transport by diffusion of the heat energy of chemical binding.

Considering the high cost of the F-108 system -- over $4 billion for the force that had been planned -- and the time period in which it would become operational, it was decided to stop further work on the project.

City Controller Alexander Hemphill charged Tuesday that the bids on the Frankford Elevated repair project were rigged to the advantage of a private contracting company which had `` an inside track '' with the city.

Thomas Jefferson had tried to bring a French mechanic ( almost certainly Blanc ) and his methods to America in 1785, but the project never went anywhere.

Construction of this machine was never completed ; Babbage had conflicts with his chief engineer, Joseph Clement, and ultimately the British government withdrew its funding for the project.

Administrator Webb realized that in order to keep Apollo costs under control, he had to develop greater project management skills in his organization, so he recruited Dr. George E. Mueller for a high management job.

Although he was in charge of the project for the papal villa, the Villa Pamphili, now Villa Doria Pamphili, outside the Porta San Pancrazio in Rome, he may have had professional guidance on the design of the casino from the architect / engineer Girolamo Rainaldi and help with supervising its construction from his assistant Giovanni Francesco Grimaldi.

" The project, later called the Mills Commission, concluded that " Base Ball had its origins in the United States " and " the first scheme for playing baseball, according to the best evidence available to date, was devised by Abner Doubleday at Cooperstown, N. Y., in 1839.

The original commission that reached Salieri in 1783 – 84 was to assist Gluck in finishing a work for Paris that had been all but completed ; in reality, Gluck had failed to notate any of the score for the new opera and gave the entire project over to his young friend.

According to Autodesk company information, the AutoCAD software is now used in a range of industries, employed by architects, project managers and engineers, amongst other professions, and as of 1994 there had been 750 training centers established across the world to educate users about the company's primary products.

The lyrics were mostly written by Earle Crooker, but he had left the project, with the score needing vast improvement.

Borland had had an internal project to clone dBASE which was intended to run on Windows and was part of the strategy of the acquisition, but by late 1992 this was abandoned due to technical flaws and the company had to constitute a replacement team ( the ObjectVision team, redeployed ) headed by Bill Turpin to redo the job.

The album Rainbow Nation was released the following year with Hellyer returning as lead vocalist, as Foster had dropped out of the project.

In fact, the project was small, underfunded by United Artists, and well under the cultural radar during the early months of production, as Stephen King's source novel had yet to climb the bestseller list.

In December 2011, more than a year after the official reboot announcement, the Los Angeles Times site reported that Whit Anderson, the writer picked for the new Buffy movie, had her script rejected by the producers behind the project, and that a new writer was being sought.

When Congress overrode his veto, the project had its green light and ground was first broken in 1991.

The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority ( MTA ), which had little experience in managing an undertaking of the scope and magnitude of the CA / T Project, hired a joint venture to provide preliminary designs, manage design consultants and construction contractors, track the project's cost and schedule, advise MTA on project decisions, and ( in some instances ) act as the MTA's representative.

This was intended to make management more efficient, but it hindered MTA's ability to independently oversee project activities because MTA and the joint venture had effectively become partners in the project.

It was also reported that federal safety authorities had questioned the design of the handrails and had recommended crash-testing them before they were originally installed, but these concerns were dismissed by Big Dig project managers at the time.
