Since they are all binary systems also you could call them star systems as well. Solar systems however is common usage, and since English is a living language meaning of words & phrases does change to reflect common usage. It's not Latin. So you can't say 'This doesn't mean x' with absolute certainty when dealing with common usage terms.
On BiaB however. Thanks for the update, glad to know it's still underway as that will be a huge shift for large fleet movements. |

It being common usage doesn't change the fact that it's wrong. Lots of people saying the same wrong thing doesn't make that thing right.
Like all the idiots who don't understand what "PvP" means and mistake it for "combat" only. |

But the system of Sol is ... not actually in New Eden. I would accept it if they renamed every star to Sol, too. Then we have 7000+ solar systems in honour of the real one. Or just the one of Hek. That'd be neat. Has only three letters too!
Oh and yeah, I know Sol. My main machine at home has the same name. ;)
Take a look at your overview settings, the section "Celestials". You'll find that the setting to make the stars appear on your overview is actually called "Sun". This indicates that in New Eden, "Sun" is a general term usable for all stars. :) |

While originally defined as our specific star, it is becoming more common in cosmology for the term "sun" to be used in reference to the specific star(s) of a given star system. Lawrence Krauss uses the term in such a way and he's all kinds of awesome.
The term "solar" meanwhile still generally references our own star system specifically. "Extrasolar" planets are planets outside our star system. "Solar System" almost always refers to our star system.
The expanded use of the word "sun" without an expanded use of the word "solar" doesn't make logical sense but that's English for you.

I am wondering if the free server resources could be used to turn the sphere based collision geometry into other shapes. Similar with warp-to areas and docking belts of stations.

The collision geometry isn't sphere based. It's collection of spheres based.
Just a small note
Woo! CSM 9!

EVE is in the future and we speak futuremerican here. Therefor you can not say that solar system and sun are incorrect. That is just the EVEmerican way. It is also why we refer to our space craft as spoons instead of spaceships, and carry our brains around in boxes. |

Took me a while to get the concept of "Brain in a Box", is it essentially the same as caching?
Basically you calculate all the attributes ONCE, then place those values and "bake" them so they only need to be calculated every time a skill cue is finished?
Or am I completely misunderstanding the concept?

Completely. You need to rethink what a cue is...
