Core was so expensive that parts of TX-0's memory were stripped for the TX-2, and what remained of the TX-0 was then given to MIT on permanent loan.

At MIT, Olsen and Anderson noticed something odd: students would line up for hours to get a turn to use the stripped-down TX-0, while largely ignoring a faster IBM machine that was also available.

ELIZA was written at MIT by Joseph Weizenbaum between 1964 and 1966.

The PDP-10 machine AI at MIT, which was running the ITS operating system and which was connected to the Arpanet, provided an early hacker meeting point.

For example, when MIT students surreptitiously put a fake police car atop the dome on MIT's Building 10, that was a hack in this sense, and the students involved were therefore hackers.

The most visible difference in these views was in the design of the MIT hackers ' Incompatible Timesharing System, which deliberately did not have any security measures.

This behavior was not malicious in nature: the MIT hackers did not seek to harm the systems or their users ( although occasional practical jokes were played using the computer systems ).

For the hackers at MIT, it was the labs where the computers were running.

Edgerton was appointed full professor in electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ) in 1948.

He was especially loved by MIT students for his willingness to teach and his kindness: " The trick to education ," he said, " is to teach people in such a way that they don't realize they're learning until it's too late.

MIT also had developed their own influential system, the Incompatible Timesharing System ( named in parody of the Compatible Time-Sharing System, developed at MIT for a modified IBM 7094 ).

This interest led to attending several conferences ( Financial Cryptography 98, various MIT presentations ), participating on mailing lists such as " cypherpunks " and " dbs ", and eventually implementing patented Chaumian digital cash in an underground library, HINDE, with Ian Goldberg, named after Hinde ten Berge, a Dutch cypherpunk also present at FC98.

There is also the Brazilian initiative, named Open Mind Common Sense in Brazil ( OMCS-Br ), leaded by the Advanced Interaction Lab at Federal University of São Carlos ( LIA-UFSCar ) started in 2005 in collaboration with the Software Agents Group at the MIT Media Lab which main goal is to collect Brazilian's common sense and develop culturally sensitive software applications based on extracting cultural profiles ' knowledge from ConceptNet to help developers and users on better suite the final user's reality on having a culturally contextualized content software, making the final applications more flexible, adaptive, accessible and usable.
