Libraries should never deepened on
Big Vendor to supply "open" standards.
There Goal's are completely different.
Big Vendors want complex data formats
that drive sales.
Libraries want simple easy to format
standards that do the job.
IMHO html was that 10 years ago.
But the Big Vendor and the like
added all that shiny formatting,
that added little to no value.

I know Runescape is not an A1 MMORPG.
But you can log your character into
any world. You can even chat with your
friends across worlds. So when you want
to play with your friend you just pick
the world you want to play on today.
Now think about melding the Single server
stile and the multiple stile on an existing
MMORPG. Lets say Elune is Queuing 4 hours
a week. So the Admins split Elune onto
Elune01 and Elune02. Now players can come
into either. If most of the people want on Elune01
and at some point it would be Queueing only allow
people to log onto Elune02.
Now when a friends want
to play they can both still play on Elune02.
In this way you have doubled your population.
And this is scalable. Now share databases
for auctions, chatting and some other functions
and you have a set of world-servers that are
actually one bigger world.
Now there is no more queueing.
You can reduce population limits and
thus reduce server lag. There are problems,
First off, your university doesn't spend squat on Microsoft products. Seriously, Microsoft gives them to us. I should know, since I'm in IT for a university.

I can't believe citations would make any

Sure you want to dispel disbelief.
So you put in common knowledge,
and you talk to people, and read books
trying to make the fiction believable.
that's just part of the art of story telling.
You can't possibly cite every book that
might have a fact in it that some
fictional character in a book might
state. Give me a break. When was
the last time you saw a list of citations

The SMTP servers know the IP-address of

are asking to forward the message to.
ISP's can map customer IP-addresses to

A News caster will reword all of that

TO: FROM: and DATE:
The information is there.
Just not where you are looking for it.

Back in the 70's aluminum was once used for house wiring in the U.S., with disastrous results. The aluminum wiring would work loose and spark fires.
Could proper connectors, not ones

On the other hand the original post
talked about low voltage applications as well.
Low voltage applications, like data handling or Low voltage house lighting,
can run on other materials like aluminum,
that will not burn your house down.
