    Before you pick at other people's mistakes, why not learn the difference between your (belongs to you) and you're (you are).

    But I guess that is asking too much. I hope Ga Tech students enjoy using pencil and paper while their computer systems turn to a pile of molten metal.

    Complete myth. Slashdot no more has the ability to 'melt' a server than it does to bring me mac & cheese at 2am.

    It may saturate their bandwidth for a few hours (unlikely) or bring one web server's apache processes to more than the server can reliably handle interactively, but nothing melts, catches fire, gets destroyed or otherwise does more than a minor inconvenience.

    This is slightly OT, but couldn't Apple potentially make a lot of money by porting OS X to x86? It shouldn't be hard to do, since it's based on FreeBSD which (of course) runs on x86. If they did that, they might be able to make a dent in MS's market share.

    But PCMCIA isn't an acronym, because it doesn't spell anything.
