    Like changing my browser's font so that an "a" looks like an "s"?

    Shouldn't it be a rule that the editors have to use the Preview button? I like Slashdot, but sometimes it should be called Slapdash.

    I know this is offtopic, but its the fastest way I can think of. Will everyone be so kind as to beat the hell out of my server: http://www.pyroxpro.com/ [pyroxpro.com] so I can get a quick stress test? I have no paid ads, or popups, or crap like that, just want slashdot effect stress tested. *PLEASE*
