Also, in <code>/static</code>, the ''number'' of files is not an issue, as long as the ''total size'' of all your files in <code>/static</code> is below your quota.

-For example, if there's a 30 gigabyte data set you want to download and look at, you could use <code>/static</code> to hold the data while you're working with it.  You would put any ''programs'' you write to analyze the data in your home directory.  If something happened to the department's servers, we would restore your ''programs'' from our backups (since we back up the home directories), and you could re-download the data from wherever you got it originally (since we do not backup the static datastore.)

 Therefore, putting your static data into <code>/static</code> helps the department because it limits the expense of backing up excess data unnecessarily.

 There might times where, for a class or for your light research, you might need to download or import a large set of data (either very big files or a large number of files), where that data is static, i.e, ''will not be modified''.  The problem is that when you download ''very large'' static files or a data set with ''lots'' of static files to your Grad Net home directory, you are using a significant amount of disk resources shared by the much of the CS Dept, especially, the backup resources our systems use. (Backing up ''very large'' files or ''lots'' of smaller files puts a load on our storage/backup resources.)
