Remember, these schools have been using windows since before the big antitrust suits. I know that my school (a big one in the Dade County Public School System, Florida) has a contract with Microsoft. They use Windows 95 on every computer in all the labs, library, and other rooms/offices. They are Nazis when it comes to free anything (as in speech). Lemme put it this way, you're not allowed to bring 3.5" disks into the library. Surfwatch is used along with Microsoft Proxy server to filter what is accessible through the (OVERKILL) T1 Line that the school has. Furthurmore, someone has everyone believing that all students are computer virus carrying know-nothings whose sole intent with respect to computers is to infect them with virii after using them to send death threats to government officials, find little kids to stalk, and look at hardcore porn.
This is (IMHO) either the result of few ruining it for many, or several chain-linked knee-jerk reactions to exaggerated local news broadcasts. Of course, it's probably both.
1st of all, who are you to be assuming who we are, getting upset about these issues.
2nd of all, I developed a system for user management (not session, but very similar) based on wildcard DNS aliases (A Records). In my system, a user comes to the site via username.mysite.com and then logs in to his/her personal section. This is prior art! As soon as I get my client's permission, I'll post more info on the SIMPLE, OBVIOUS process I used. Furthermore, this is not hindsight, I devised the system on my own, with no external help.
How do you become a multibillion dollar multinational coporation by passing the savings onto your customer. I'll bet we start to see ad campaings telling us to pay more for the screen 'cause we'll pay less on our power bill, and not have to get eye surgury.
AFAIK, many people work on software projects. Is linux written by one person? Yes. Is it any good without the GNU stuff and hundreds of other programs? No. Jon's decryption algorithm is written by one person. But it will need development support from other people to build a fully operational DVD player.
Well, if the signals they recieved didn't come from the lander, WHERE DID THEY COME FROM? There had to be something intelligent about the signal, or they wouldn't have announced it. Do you think that they would release a statement getting excited over static? That signal must have either had a subcarrier that they use, or some kind of intelligent data that caught their ear.
Well, smart(er) ass, I was going by the Software Versioning Decimal System. Have you ever seen a program where version 3.11 came before version 3.4? Redhat 6.0 uses kernel 2.2.5. Redhat 6.1 uses 2.2.12. Try telling me that 2.2.5 came after 2.2.12!
'Cause.8 would be August. Y'know, "1.3 = 1 year from 1999 (period) March" i.o.w. March of 2000. In perl (and Perl) this is $ver = (localtime[5] - 1999) . "." . localtime[4];

Yeah, and they shipped 90 Million more CDs. Or in RIAA-ese, negative 90 million fewer.

And I'm sure that when Jon's code is 9 years old, it will have outside influences too.

Guess that means we don't like 'em at all!

You REALLY REALLY REALLY mean to say $.02! 'Cause .02c is two hundreths of a cent, not two hundreths of a dollar!

My several year old Sony MagicLink supports Graffiti for it's OS Magic Cap (from General Magic Inc.) Graffiti has been around for a while.
