However difficulty is to have errorless communication, or bufferable communication with channels to allow for burstable data so that caches can be repopulated, if they are got depleted due to some errors.having like 30seconds of cache is good idea, esp. when seconds of broadcast time cost thousands of dollars/pounds. Same way that analog phones are great... and technology too, you might loose signal, but not a call. If you have too many errors on digital stream, call is dropped. What happens if there is some sort of ionization in atmosphere?... for one thing I think emergency channels should stay analog and use vacuum tube electronics. If we had uncompressed digital, it would be just as good as analog, however it is too expensive(not dollar). Error correction in MPEG streams is rather bad... great thing that they use linux, but not all that linux is good! Its how you apply it.

Its clear that dude is not a programmer and does not understand difference between thread and process. Things have to be considerably cleaner with threads, as you can run over toes of anything. Apache 1.3 was built for dirty coding. Apache 2.0 has to expect a level of code quality. You have to be very careful.
In other news: It is not clear why water company pipes cannot carry electicity. Electric companies are stunned at disconuity of water utility corporation.
BESIDES: when people write modular code. indent. comment it. things are dead easy to rework. IF people are sloppy. That would be a lesson for them. Or pain to inheritors of the code and a good precedent to make requirements for clean code in the future.
when distros will start shipping 2.0 as standard, everyone will "just use" it. Of course there would be some rejection rate, of stubborn people. 1.3 development would stop and everyone would slowly roll over to 2.0.
pro 2.0: - threaded stuff is blindingly fast. most systems threads are faster then processes - other new technologies, like layered content filtering are great for developers of hight traffic sites.
pro 1.3: very very many people using apache use linux. Linux threads are almost same performance as processes. Due to kernel limitation, you can stack only so many threads per process.Plus threaded model does not account for stability. One NULL pointer dereference and you're gone. Apache2.0 of course uses bundles of threads. so you still have multiprocess model kicking around.
Expect 2.0 gain popularity on systems like Sun, BSD and Win32 where processes handling is relatively expesive. Threads are dirt cheap.
As everything, things take time. Just like well brewed beer. cheers.
If ISP is a business, it will try to squeeze most out of T1. If you host stuff it might be good. Otherwise getting business ADSL/Cable/Wireless would be better idea. Having your own T1 linked to Backbone is reallly nice idea, if the sharing parties don't abuse it. Its only around 150k downstream , think of it that way.

what this reminds me of, is of natural competition: "my penis is bigger then yours, because I have a bigger car". It is faulty logic, as many do agree nowadays, but it does not stop people from repeating the excersize. Similarly here, benchmarks are nothing but fictitious statement, taking some program that is written by people(source of most errors in logic), and ouput of it as good indicator of what cpu is good at. Nevermind chipsets, auxiliary hardware and many other things. If people who buy computers in large quantities would take these benchmarks for any guilding value, they are to be called suckers. Those with real brains, will take two instances of same cpu put them into same box, boot the computer and let two computers do the same thing many computers will do, when purchased in larger quantity. If you don't do this, you would be 'easy' to be taken advantage of, by computer businesses. 2 canadian cents.

Actually they can convert all books they have to computer media, and OCR new books as they come in, making them searchable resource. It is draconian, but would reduce search times by magnitude. You can store scanned images that relate to the book, that related to specific row in image, so they can look and see if there are pictures and other things in the book. Hollywood movie shows did have some of those "image" text scanners, which are not vialble, but when armed with pre-translated text indexes, can become really useful. And library can be online for students. One thing stopping all that is absence of software, and effort to scan all the books properly.
For one thing you can get students to do scanning for few extra credis, software can be a project of under- and graduate students, so can be hardware,like page scanners if not available commercially already.
