English teenagers are taught Visual Basic disguised as general event-driven programming. This limits their view of what event-driven programming is. But, how much? Is it really an issue?

Finishing a contract for an academic project soon, I'll miss having a unix machine I can log in from anywhere, which has all my scripts and data in it, where I can run stuff for myself.

Amazon EC2, slicehost, are marketed as hosting sites. I guess many of you use them as home machines too. Any thoughts?

Any transmission channel with a delay between the time a packet leaves the sender and reaches the receiver, is effectively storing the information contained in the packet during the time of travel.

So one could store information in that packet, in such a way that it does not need to be stored in the end nodes of the network.

Has anyone looked at this in theory (or in practice)?
