    Earlier this week it was a supposed "hardware guru" website that had an article about high performance web servers, and now it's "linuxguru" that gets Slashdotted. I can personally say that if you can't set up a server to take a Slashdotting, I put no stake whatsoever in what they have to say. If you can't set up a server to handle a spike in traffic, then you really don't know what in the hell you're talking about when it comes to server hardware/software.

      Most people don't understand that just throwing more computing power at the daemon doesn't help. Apache does not come in a default configuration that is ready for heavy use production. The default config is pretty conservative, to prevent it from crashing the whole OS.

    If you go to webster [webster.com]

    You will find nothing of the sort, since webster doesn't list a plural form of "virus". "Virii", which is correct according to the rules of the english language, is not listed at all, and "viruses" produces the page for "virus", not "viruses".

    (1) A Bigger charge on your credit card.

    (2) Less fun hardware to play with.

    How would you know? If you never played with it because you are too cheap to own one. I play around with Mac hardware all the time. Overclocking, case mods, etc.

    (3) Only Aqua on your desktop.

    I also have Graphite, KDE and Gnome as choices on my desktop in Mac OS X. Do you even know what you are talking about?

    (4) A single button mouse. Like you really used those other two.

    My Kensington Turbo Mouse has 5 buttons along with a scroll wheel on it. Where do you get this one-button mouse only idea? Guess you never used Mac OS X before.

    (5) To pay for the next bug fix. Just like Windows

    I get free updates when they are available. Where do you get this idea? Have you ever used Mac OS X?
