[ic] too many cookies?

[David Totten]

My gosh! why on earth do you think you need so many cookies?
All of that information is stored in the users session, and if you just
want to remember the user, then just set a cookie with the username, and
password. When they come back to the site, you can check for that cookie, and
poll the database as necessary.

We can see, in retrospect, the incorporation of additional mission constraints adds overriding performance constraints to gain the full benefts of the management-by-contention principle.
