Births
gollark: It's not the same as actually developing the entire standard, but it's something I guess.
gollark: > In the early 1990s, O'Sullivan led a team at the CSIRO which patented, in 1996, the use of a related technique for reducing multipath interference of radio signals transmitted for computer networking.
