| AOHell + | Started in 1994 when a 17 year old hacker from Pittsburgh known as "Da Chronic" on the internet used Visual Basic to create a toolkit that provided a new DLL for the [[AOL]] client. |
| AOL + | It was founded in 1983 as Control Video Co … It was founded in 1983 as Control Video Corporation. It later changed its name. In 1991 it released AOL for [[DOS]], and in 1992 it released AOL for [[Windows]]. AOL established an internet market aimed towards Joe Everyman and Jane Everywoman. AOL had (then) exclusive content available under AOL keywords. AOL was one of the first companies to introduce [[internet]] access for the masses (outside). In 1993 AOL introduced access to [[Usenet]]. Originally newbies joined ''en masse'' in Septembers (corresponding to when people enrolled in universities), acted like [[n00bs]], got slapped across the face, stopped being [[lamer]]s, and wizened up. Now with AOL, newbies joined at any time of the year, causing old timers on Usenet to speak of the "[[Eternal September]]." AOL became known for its AOL disks, sent in the mail to prospective customers. Unlike many ISPs, which simply provided a telephone number for you to use with your [[dialup]], AOL provided an entire software package for internet use. People who didn't want to use AOL proceeded to make the disks into fine coasters. Also because of AOL's dynamic [[IP addresses]], users could join chatrooms, act like [[lamer]]s, get banned under one IP, and rejoin under another. Chatroom moderators had to block all AOL ips, causing innocent parties to be blocked. AOL got involved with a horrid merger involving Time Warner, and later asked for a divorce. Its AOL-exclusive content ended up not being so exclusive anymore, and AOL was slow to join the [[broadband]] party. As AOL scooped up [[Netscape]], users jumped ship and joined other ISPs ([[AT&T]], [[Verizon]], etc.) her ISPs ([[AT&T]], [[Verizon]], etc.) |

| ARPANET + | As the [[United States]] and [[Soviet Unio … As the [[United States]] and [[Soviet Union]] started an arms race during the Cold War, the U.S. realized that it needed a way to transfer information quickly. ARPANET opened in 1969. The first four nodes of the network were University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), University of Utah, and Stanford University. The kids who created [[Usenet]] referred to it as a "poor man's ARPANET." referred to it as a "poor man's ARPANET." |
| AT&T + | This AT&T was originally Southwestern Bell, one of the "baby bell" companies split from the old AT&T after an antitrust lawsuit. Southwestern Bell later became SBC Communications, and it eventually acquired the old AT&T and changed its name. |

| Ada Lovelace + | Ada Augusta Byron was born on December 10, … Ada Augusta Byron was born on December 10, 1815. She was the only child of the George Gordon, 6th (otherwise known as the preeminent Romantic poet Lord Byron) and his wife, Anne Isabella "Annabella" Milbanke, Baroness Wentworth. Byron expected that the baby would be "the glorious boy", and there was some disappointment at the contrary news. The child was named after Byron's half-sister, Augusta Leigh, and was called "Ada" by Byron himself. On 16 January 1816, Annabella, at Byron's behest, left for her parents' home at Kirkby Mallory taking one-month-old Lovelace with her. Although English law gave fathers full custody of their children in cases of separation, Byron made no attempt to claim his parental rights. On 21 April, Byron signed the Deed of Separation, although very reluctantly, and left England for good a few days later. Byron did not have a relationship with his daughter and he died in 1824 when she was nine; her mother was the only significant parental figure in her life. Her mother, Annabella, became Baroness Wentworth in her own right in 1856, being then the sole remaining representative of the Wentworth Viscounts. Lovelace was often ill, dating from her early childhood. At the age of eight she experienced headaches that obscured her vision. In June 1829, she was paralysed after a bout of the measles. She was subjected to continuous bed rest for nearly a year, which may have extended her period of disability. By 1831 she was able to walk with crutches. Throughout her illnesses, Lovelace continued her education. Her mother's obsession with rooting out any of the insanity of which she accused Lord Byron was one of the reasons that Lovelace was taught mathematics from an early age. Lovelace was privately schooled in mathematics and science by William Frend, William King and Mary Somerville. One of her later tutors was the noted mathematician and logician Augustus De Morgan. From 1832, when she was seventeen, her remarkable mathematical abilities began to emerge, and her interest in mathematics dominated her life even after her marriage. In a letter to Lovelace's mother, De Morgan suggested that Lovelace's skill in mathematics could lead her to become "an original mathematical investigator, perhaps of first-rate eminence". stigator, perhaps of first-rate eminence". |

| Advice Dog + | Advice Dog started in the summer of 2008 on [[4chan]]. The images took the website over. Like Western films of the 1950's, they were easy and quick to produce, and for some reason the audience kept eating them up. |

| Ae-tan + | Because [[TOW]] had their own [[anime]] ma … Because [[TOW]] had their own [[anime]] mascot, ''Sheneequa'', one of ED's bureaucrats and known welfare check collector, proposed that ED too should have an anime mascot of their own. Thus æ-tan was conceived. Though when the æ-tan concept was in process, Sheneequa debated whether she would be a "super slut" or a "[[trap|dick girl]]". There, it would be decided that ''Mungbean'' (formerly known as ''Fapman'') would be the artist behind æ-tan's creation. Because of this, he was rewarded with a promotion to sysops. e was rewarded with a promotion to sysops. |

| Agony in Pink + | The fan fiction was first posted onto [[Us … The fan fiction was first posted onto [[Usenet]]'s [[alt.sex|alt.sex.stories]] newsgroup on November 16, 1994. The internet was a much smaller place in 1994 than it is today, so it easily became infamous in many internet communities. The author later remade the story as "Agony in Pink: Special Edition." The ''Mighty Morphin Power Rangers'' was an [[American]] television show aimed at children. It was a remake of the [[Japanese]] ''Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger''. Amy Jo Johnson portrayed Kimberly. We have no idea who the "Dark Ranger" is. He/she used the [[Penet remailer]] to post the story and other stories, so his/her identity was concealed. On May 11, 1997, he/she published "Agony in Pink – The Special Edition" which is a reworked version of the same story. A guy named Tom Rockwell made the painting "Agony," based off of the story. Yes.. somebody even drew a piece of artwork based on the story! rew a piece of artwork based on the story! |
