The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard for interfacing external applications with information servers, such as HTTP or Web servers. A plain HTML document that the Web daemon retrieves is static, which means it exists in a constant state: a text file that doesn't change. A CGI program, on the other hand, is executed in real-time, so that it can output dynamic information.
For example, let's say that you wanted to "hook up" your Unix database to the World Wide Web, to allow people from all over the world to query it. Basically, you need to create a CGI program that the Web daemon will execute to transmit information to the database engine, and receive the results back again and display them to the client. This is an example of a gateway, and this is where CGI, currently version 1.1, got its origins.

Come on, these days you should implement things as Java web services, or maybe a simple LAMP solution using MySQL and Perl, Python, or PHP.
Once upon a time there was a terrorist who was making a bomb out of a gun over in Waco. Her name was Ruby Ridge. They did not like the Patriot Act very much. They were also communists and wanted to blow up the Federal Reserve, depriving the evil capitalistic empire of America of its monetary value. When they finished making the bomb, they threw a big party where they all posed as Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and other terrorists and/or communists. They also made fun of Echelon and Carnivore, and plotted to kill the president and his evil minions.
What about the recent protests of dwarfs, claiming it is a racist term. They prefer to be referred to as "Restricted Growth People". They even came to the House of Commons.
I wonder when they'll sue Disney. "Snowmulticoloured and the 7 restricted growth people".
Actually, if you'd RTFA, then you'd see there were no coconuts in this research. It was just the airspeed of an unladen swallow, not a laden with coconuts one.
Just probing? I mean, that's all fine and dandy, but NASA and ESA did plenty of that. We want moon bases damnit! With Chinese restaurants of course! What good is space tourism, if you can't have a nice walk on a different planet or satellite and enjoy a nice dinner by earthlight.
Vincent Hanna: One voter; 16,472 votes. A slight anomaly...?
Edmund: Not really, Mr. Hanna -- you see, Baldrick may look like a monkey who's been put in a suit and then strategically shaved, but he is a brilliant politician. The number of votes I cast is simply a reflection of how firmly I believe in his policies.
BEWARE OF COMMERCIAL AFDBS: Since you should trust no one, always construct your AFDB yourself to avoid the risk of subversion and mental enslavement. Sometimes, AFDBs will be sold on places like eBay. Do not purchase these pre-made AFDBs, even if the seller seems trustworthy. They may contain backdoors, pinholes, integrated psychotronic circuitry or other methods that actually promote mind control.

Those are all forms of CGI.
Aren't you glad the 90s happened?
So, I'm in Britain, and obviously not doing my work, as I'm supposed to, and I wasn't on tuesday aswell, but I didn't notice any fault?
Why are you running a test kernel on several PRODUCTION machines?
Ah, so they SCO often? Oh wait, then you would be checking diapers for lack of content, or ...?

I recommend this. Scare your kids with the TIA, Santa Claus just doens't work anymore!
Ummm.. I bet the ethernet is 10Mbit? I won't buy it until it supports Gigabit! And I need at least 30GB anyway. And no, I will not buy an iPod.

In this economy? More like:
That either means that the kernel is quite dead, possibly after being unfaithful to Mrs. Beaver, or that the kernel is on weed? [keanu]Whoa[/keanu]!
I'm just waiting to see these babies to hit the shops.
iSurrender? Sounds like something the French research department of Apple made up.
Of course IBM made the eBomb.
Lame. They're only G-rated. I'll wait for the X-rated sea monkeys.
Shooting people is against the law. Lawyers are not people. Shooting laywers is not against the law. Quod erat demonstrandum.
Yeah, but how does the Green Destiny fit in with supercomputing?
Windows XP Powertoys?
Black screen. Silver solid cursor (not flashing). 80 columns, 40 rows. Fixed font.
While people may seem to think that Write Only is a silly idea, here is a datasheet (front, back) with the specifications for some WOM from Signetics.
I really do with they would have promoted this more. It seems like a quantum leap forward in computing!

Yes, but is the Earth banana shaped? Certainly does seem to make sense.
