So, I've got this poor little 206mHz ARM processor with 64mb running a webserver. Hey, it's kinda cool holding a webserver in your hand and being able to walk around with it."

    The folks at Slashdot must not have anything better to do. This is OLD news - at least a year old.

  5. Woman Loses Case Over 'Bin Laden' Hairstyle by Yahoo!+Messenger · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    HONG KONG (Reuters) - A Hong Kong woman lost her case for compensation against a hair salon which she claimed made her look like Osama bin Laden when she wanted a hairstyle like Hollywood actress Julia Roberts.

    After the judgement was handed down, she refused to leave the Small Claims Tribunal and had to be taken away by ambulance following a standoff of more than an hour with court staff, the South China Morning Post reported on Thursday.

    Chu Ieu complained her hair was seriously damaged by two perms she had done at the New Idol Hair Salon last July and August.

    "Do you mean you did not get the Julia Roberts look after the perm?" adjudicator Yuen Chun-kau asked her during the Wednesday hearing.

    "Not just that. It was like a broom. Every hair struck out and it looked like an open umbrella which could not be shut. It was horrible. I looked like Osama bin Laden," Chu replied.

    Yuen dismissed her claim for HK50,000 (US6,410) in compensation as she had offered no evidence to prove her hair had been damaged. "You've only shown the court that the hairstyle did not look good," he said.

    But Chu said that Yuen was not sympathetic to her claim.

    "He's bald. Of course he would not know the pain of having damaged hair," Chu fretted, sitting on the floor of the courtroom in protest against the judgement.
