This is a partial list of RFCs (request for comments memoranda). A Request for Comments (RFC) is a publication in a series from the principal technical development and standards-setting bodies for the Internet, most prominently the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
Although written by Steve Crocker, the RFC had emerged from an early working group discussion between Steve Crocker, Steve Carr, and Jeff Rulifson. In RFC 3, which first defined the RFC series, Crocker started attributing the RFC series to the Network Working Group. Rather than being a formal committee, it was a loose association of researchers ...
[nb 1] He was instrumental in forming a Network Working Group (NWG) in 1969 and was the instigator of the Request for Comment (RFC) series, [6] authoring the first RFC [7] and many more. [8] Crocker led other graduate students, including Jon Postel and Vint Cerf, in designing a host-host protocol known as the Network Control Program (NCP).
RFC 822, written by David H. Crocker, defined the format for messages. The Internet Society's Postel Award is named in his honor, as is the Postel Center at the Information Sciences Institute. His obituary was written by Vint Cerf and published as RFC 2468 in remembrance of Postel and his
The California Job Case was a compartmentalized box for printing in the 19th century, sizes corresponding to the commonality of letters. The frequency of letters in text has been studied for use in cryptanalysis, and frequency analysis in particular, dating back to the Arab mathematician al-Kindi (c.

H&R was the first manufacturer to submit a lowering spring to the Technischer Überwachungsverein certification body, and helped pioneer the aftermarket spring industry in Europe. The early effort by the company led to gaining a TÜV certification for its products, which it continues to meet.
In 1957, she, her husband, and J.C. Jennings co-founded Birkbeck College's Department of Numerical Automation, [15] now the School of Computer Science and Information Systems, in 1957. [6] In 1958, she taught a programming course. [6] In 1958, Booth wrote one of the first books describing how to program APE(X)C computers. [16]
DICT is a dictionary network protocol created by the DICT Development Group [1] in 1997, described by RFC 2229. [2] Its goal is to surpass the Webster protocol to allow clients to access a variety of dictionaries via a uniform interface.
