Absolutely correct, just because you goto school some where doesn't give you the right to use as much bandwidth as you want. You are privledged to be able to use as much as you do, and when something doesn't work, or when your admin shuts you down then what? You don't bitch to them and say "Damn you! Give it back!" You need to respect them and they will reward you be explaining why and what they are doing... yelling at the net gods will not result in your net access being returned. In fact it may just have the opposite effect, you may never get it back... and heaven help that your computer may break down and you need to call on the admins for help...
Thinking about toggle switches being bi-polar, and therefore binary, it's not hard to think that this will have an amazing impact on how small computers could be in the distant future... when they perfect it of course. It'll also give new meaning to the term "microprocessor", even though they will probably call it a "bio-proessor". It will also revolutionize the way that "bugs" affect our daily lives.... I wonder if a new company will be formed to create those processors, and what would they call them, "chips" wouldn't seem to fit any more. "Damn, every year I get a new keyboard only to find that they still forgot the 'Any' key!"
