One thing that you missed about RJ45 and RJ11 is that they are compatible: an RJ11 plug will fit an RJ45 socket. This helps to explain the weird and wonderful RJ45 wiring order...
I didn't realise this until we got ADSL here, and although the modem has an RJ11 plug, the socket in the wall is RJ45 which means it's really easy to set up extensions using normal ethernet cable and female/female RJ45 gender benders.
(This is the BT ADSL setup in the UK with the Alcatel Speedtoush PPP-over-ATM-over-USB modem.)
You want overloading? Great, but type inference goes out the window.
Haskell has overloading and type inference. The way it achieves this results in a weird not-your-mother's-OO type system, which is nevertheless very elegant.
A fairly widely available way to get better connection setup performance for TCP is a variant called TCP for Transactions, or T/TCP (RFC 1644). This allows you to e.g. set up the connection and send the HTTP request all in the first packet. It's been in BSD for 5 years, but software has to be written slightly differently to use it and most software isn't, so T/TCP isn't widely used.
You are wrong about the Internet not existing in 1991: not only did it exist, but the UK's Joint Academic Network was connected to it and so was the University of Cambridge's Computer Laboratory. (check out the records in the RIPE whois database for 128.232.0.0)

Exim's security architecture has changed significantly since then, so many of the problems you mentioned have gone.

Now, *that*'s entertainment.

Good grief, Pascal only invented a mechanical calculator; Babbage invented a proper mechanical programmable computer.
And the world's first two computers using the current stored-program architecture were British (Manchester and Cambridge).

If you are a perl fanatic to the extent that you don't mind a proxy with sucky performance then htmlf can filter most things in a very flexible way.

There is a *BSD port (pkg) of w3m which should compile without any effort beyond `cd /usr/ports/www/w3m && make install`.
Use w3m instead -- it gets this right. Since it also handles tables and frames properly there's not much reason for keeping lynx around any more.
1.3 is not the right web server to choose if you want a flying gas can. Still, there is a performance tuning doc at http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/pe rf-tuning.html
