    ... because posting a hyperlink to it on slashdot's front page will do wonders for that server.

    The attention for the money here is surely good but well, a slashdoting to a server having issues ... um, no.

    My server is crashing too, and I only want $10,000. Doesnt this sound like a better deal?

    Saying Java is nice because it works on all OS's is like saying that anal sex is nice because it works on all genders.

    Better yet, buy them at airzooka.net. Four bucks cheaper.

    a bunch of arrogant, half-educated, self-important g**ks blowing off on topics they hardly know.

    So you have explained Slashdot, but what about Wikipedia?
