    Since making obscenely obvious and redunant posts are grounds for a 4: Funny, I'd like one too please, to go. The smell from this site is rank, gets in your clothes, and is hard to get rid of, so I'm in a hurry. I also need time to post "Microsoft sucks, I run Linux! I installed it from a boot CD and have never connected it to a network, I'm 0-day leet" and watch the informative and interesting posts come flooding in.

    Sorry, had to post that, it was theraputic.

    Well, I was modded for being both OT and Overrated. Don't you love it when moderators do exactly what you tell them to? ;)

    It's really not as difficult for server-side stuff as you'd think. And frankly, given the company you work for, I'm rather surprised at your answer.
