DARPA always was full of crap. They have too much money.

Yes. Example 1 is all the money that they wasted on something called ARPANET or Internet. No way that that would ever have any practical use.

“Yes. Example 1 is all the money that they wasted on something called ARPANET or Internet. No way that that would ever have any practical use.”

Yeah. Let us not forget that horrible waste they did on that white elephant called GPS. Might have won us a war or three, and saved a few tens of thousands of American lives, but it was a real boondogle.

Heck, I even worked on that project!

Wasn’t that headed up by Al Gore?

Yes, you are correct. They helped create ARPANET with a few universities and National Labs. But they didn’t create the internet. Al Gore did. Just kidding. It took people with broader ideas to create the internet than ARPA (now DARPA) ever had. DARPA is a cesspool of wasted money.
