      I once had netcraft tell me a server was a FreeBSD box running IIS... Now I'm not saying it was wrong but...

    This has got to be one of the best slashdot linkages in recent memory. How do you expect anyone to see this reeking Lisa 2 thing if people with pretty major servers go under when slashdot links to them?

    "Hey guys, check this out, some guy has managed to wire up an ethernet cable to his parrot's brain, they say if they get over 200 hits/hour his legs will explode. Anyway, here's the link."

    NICE.

      Exactly. Apple bashing has reached a new low here at Slashdot when the editors take to slashdotting a poor, defenceless Lisa 2. After this trauma it may never serve a page again. It probably won't even boot up. Poor thing.

    Putting up a link to a lisa2 webserver on slasdot is like tickeling the old lady's feet who is holding up your car with her bare hands while you change your oil... Nice going... it's crashed.. I bet you're very proud:)

    I won't be truly impressed until I see an a site being served with a turing machine, run manually by a guy drawing dots on a paper looking at a T1 line terminating in a green LED.

    The only danger of this is that is may be the first recorded death due to slashdotting.

    Poor little Lisa. She was just serving up pages to a few hundred or so of the Mac faithful when the Penguin known as Slashdot set it's lustful eyes upon it. Now, it's bandwidth stuffed to overflowing, the Lisa sits in a corner, weeping openly.

    C'mon, it's a Lisa! It should be able to handle the load of a slashdotting. ...And for the next trick, Slashdot will knock down a small child and run away with her candy.
