    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.
