FWIW the reason the box died so quickly was due to gallery and uberperformanceful PHP. Once he got the images on a static page apache happily served up 40mbps. We have a NetScreen firewall in front of the box and it hasn't even blinked yet. 3% CPU usage and less than 1% of the sessions used. Is this the best slashdot has to offer?:(
a lot of states that's 100% legal (on a bike)

"lane splitting" is legal in quite a few states (no, i'm not going to check...i do know it's ok in NY, it'd be insanity to ride the LIE otherwise). it's usually pretty safe to split two cars side by side, since the drivers won't go swerving at each other; trying to zigzag through a passing situation is much stupider, i knew a kid who got pasted on the LIE when the guy in the left lane cut right (in front of the other car) a little earlier than he was expecting...i guess the fall didn't hurt him that badly, but the bumper-to-bumper traffic going 45, well, that was a different story...
