| | Incompatible Timesharing System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | ITS, the Incompatible Timesharing System, was an early, revolutionary, and influential MIT time-sharing operating system; it was developed principally by the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT, with some help from Project MAC. | | | The name was a hack on the earliest MIT time-sharing operating system, the Compatible Time-Sharing System, which dated from the early 1960s. | | | ITS development was initiated in the late 1960s by those (the majority of the MIT AI Lab at that point in time) who disagreed with the direction taken by Project MAC's Multics project (which had started in the mid 1960s), particularly such decisions as the inclusion of powerful system security. |

| | Greenblatt and Knight's failure to convince outsiders of the natural superiority of the Incompatible Time-sharing System was only one indication that the total immersion of a small group of people into hackerism might not bring about change on the massive scale that all the hackers assumed was inevitable. | | | Every time an inaccurate bill arrived at a home, and the recipient's attempts to set it right wound up in a frustrating round of calls--usually leading to an explanation that "the computer did it," and only herculean human effort could erase the digital blot-- the popular contempt toward computers grew. | | | The natural way to do this was through the power of the computer, and the time to do it was now. |

| | Incompatible Time-sharing System, an influential but highly idiosyncratic operating system written for PDP-6s and PDP-10s at MIT and long used at the MIT AI Lab. | | | ITS pioneered many important innovations, including transparent file sharing between machines and terminal-independent I/O. After about 1982, most actual work was shifted to newer machines, with the remaining ITS boxes run essentially as a hobby and service to the hacker community. | | | The practice of `sacrificing to the line eater' continued for some time after the bug had been {nailed to the wall}, and is still humorously referred to. |

| | Epistemologically Multiple Actor-Centred System: or, EMACS at work! |
| | In such an innovation system, problems are less likely to be seen to appear, innovation options likely to be more pre-defined, and innovators sharing a consensus on 'what needs to be done. | | | EMACS resembled a system that was useful for things other than programming, and yet one could program it while s/he was using it. | | | In a less open innovation system, problems are less accessible, and the boundary is relatively impermeable to new entrants and new ways through which the system can be enhanced. |

| | Hackers were initially against time-sharing systems because they felt that a system should be used to its fullest, and this could only be done by one person at a time. | | | The time-sharing systems at the time were slow and imposed many restrictions on its users. | | | For them,bureaucracy was the bane of open systems and the IBM culture at the time was its epitome. |

| | At MIT's Artificial Intelligence Lab, an operating system called ITS (Incompatible Time-sharing System) was written for the 10. | | | PS had several good features: it was the first true publisher of software developed by others; it was the leading publisher of computer games at the time; and it had strong ties to Software Arts Inc., where VisiCalc was invented (_requiescant_in_pace_), and where Zork I was demonstrated in February 1980. | | | This became the section of Zork II with the Dungeon Master, and at the time was certainly the most involved, and hardest (as it should have been) thing in the game. |

| | Hacking -- Encyclopedia Description |
| | The period of the early 1960's at MIT was the period when Fernando Corbató and his colleagues took upon themselves the development of an interactive time sharing system which would provide personal computing to the university community while at the same time using all the available machine cycles. | | | Freedom and control may be incompatible attributes of such an environment, but it is clear that the tasks of program or system usage in a productive setting are not amenable to the recognition and acceptance of bugs and errors. | | | While this generally implied that available time was in the "graveyard shift" this did not matter to the aficionados of what we might recognize as the first "personal computer"; they merely altered their circadian rhythms to accommodate this minor shortcoming. |

| | There is this great story where the hackers at the AI Lab at MIT are being forced to use a time sharing system on their beloved PDP-6 and they are in revolt. | | | Photo sharing was the wide mouth of the funnel that led you to print your photos -- and that meant you could not access the high-res originals that you yourself had uploaded. | | | Slowly but surely consumers are being taught the value of open systems that the hackers intuitively understood 40 years ago. |

| | ITS stood for `Incompatible Time-sharing System' which gives one a pretty good fix on the MIT hackers' attitude (technically, the name was a play on its predecessor, the Compatible Time-Sharing System CTSS). | | | DEC pioneered commercial interactive computing and time-sharing operating systems. | | | Meanwhile hackers at CMU were doing the work that would lead to the first practical large-scale applications of expert systems and industrial robotics. |
