It might be useful to see if you can track down
the quota software MIT used to use. MIT has
a very heterogenous environment so that speaks
well for this. It's also interesting to note
that MIT no longer enforces a printing quota.
Previously students were allowed 1000 pages per year free, and additional at some preset rate.
Very few world-altering innovations result
from somebody who set about to actually make
those changes occur. Innovation and
discovery result from generally fucking around with stuff.
The difference being the capital A, one being a generic adjective the other referring to a specific location on this great ball o spinning mud.
Afterall that was definition #2. Try definition #1
and a little etymology

No the money is just mis-appropriated. There are many many many schools that cannot afford enough books for students. Or others that lack physical education equipment. The probleem is money gets approriated an earmarked for specific causes, not
necessarily those that are vital. Of course having
too mahy layers of management to pay and meddle
doesn't help either.

There is nothing inherently evil in cookies.
The evil is in intentional misuse or ignorance of proper use.
Storing personal data (unencrypted password, email) in a cookie is stupid evil.
Forcing users to accept cookies for a non-originating domain (like excite, so you login to one of their other domains) is questionably stupid or intentional. Since this then makes the problem of double-click type privacy issues more extreme.
NOTE: Non-originating server cookies are not required to get into hairy tracking issues,
all they have to do is fetch a document (usually
image) from another server that will include a cookie in the headers. This is a prime reason next generation browsers allow you to deny
images from non-originating servers (that and
as a minimal means of preventing ads) not to
prevent sucking bandwidth from servers because
newbies are using images etc. off of someone elses server;-)
I believe (hope) that they were just
abbreviating the clause which states
that shall not make any laws..."or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press"...
Session data. If your servers aren't all
using a SAN/NAS for/tmp or whatever you
need to stay tied down to your session
data. Sure you could put it on a SAN/NAS
or on some remote database, but why?
It's temporary and the other servers don't
really need it, that would just slow the
system down.
Think about it. The patent was filed in 1998.
IBM (AFAIK) not proclaiming to be open
and friendly yet. That didn't happen until
a bit later (circa 2000?)
In either event to me it seems that for this to be useful it would need to be in a paletted image
(PNG also supports palettes, which is why it can
be a good GIF substitute, as well as a
servicable JPEG substitute)

Because unfortunately the people at large
consist of "special interests, e.g., big business, religious zealots, etc."

Or 98% people could be as dumb as avergae, 1% above and 1% below.
Not true. Unless those genes are on the same chromsome and closely linked.
At least Doom 2D is playable.
This sounds like the system used in Safe House.

D'oh! Jumped the gun and cropped thte title there
As someone else pointed out the are running mod_perl
Apache:ASP is a module for mod_perl
to allow you to use the ASP "paradigm"
with much more wholesome software.
Yup even 6.0 see here:

From the purveyors of Windows Lite.
Something anyone running windoze ought
to run anyways.

HardDrake is like kudzu, hardware detection.

Well at least in the sense that you don;t really get any reasonable level of support from say M$ without shelling out some major cabbage.
Apple might be different, but it seems pretty unlikely.

But that's not what theses benchmarks are doing.
They are comparing (red) apples to (green) apples.
You are comparing (red) apples to oranges to say that oranges are better than (red) apples, because your (green) apples suck.
