People have too much time on their hands

Why?!? This is oddly reminicent of the legOS web server for your Lego® Mindstorms kit. I mean, I guess it's cool, but what have you proved? You can write a TCP/IP stack for some processor on some platform? Yeah, we all _know_ that can be done, but, why waste your time doing something useless? It's not like someone is going to throw out their NT or Linux server and replace with a GameBoy Advance or Lego brick anytime soon.. er... ever! There is simply no use for this in the world. There, it had to be said.

Wrong! The motto of true engineers is "do something the easiest and most cost-efficient way" and in the least amount of time. Obviously working for hour upon hour to write a web server for a freakin' Game Boy that no one will use will ever fit any of those categories. Remember, there has to be a need for something too.

All I can say is...
