    Actually, we have 8 megabit DSL. The server is holding up quite nicely, but our pipe is completely full.

    Very cool. Thanks, /. for the interesting Xmas gift. The admin is giggling delightedly; he's enjoying this! :-)

    Gonna go crack a bottle of champagne now.

    Love,
    Kristen

    To be fair, parent is sfw and on-topic, if very, very sick and wrong. Too bad there's no mod "unfunny". That's worse than the suspicious-looking tunnel in UT2k3.

    ...but the bandwidth is maxed out. Be patient and it will load.

    Our 8 megabit DSL nearly melted down, but the kindness of (mirroring) strangers has helped out quite a bit.

    I'm chuffed that the little server we run is surviving a /.ing. All credit goes to my husband, the wizard admin.

  7. IMB Thinkpad 20M by Kusunose · · Score: 2, Informative
    Japan IBM already did it.

    Last year, IMB created Thinkpad 20M, special model celebrating its twenty million shipments of Thinkpads. Its development concept is, in contrast to normal Thinkpad, to make bulky, thick Thinkpad with half-day warranty. It's made of nearly 100% natural materials and tastes good.

    Note: linked article is written in Japanese.

    Build it into a menorah?

    Why not, hey why not make a beowulf cluster out of it, 9 stands for 9 computers. Make them out of P4s and you won't even need to light it, just let the CPUs spread the glow of the warmth. Perfect gift for the holidays for our brothers of the jewish faith.

    For those who don't know what one is check check this out.

    Happy Chanukah, Merry Christmas and for those who happen to be on the road this year, remember that it only takes one lose nut in a car to crash it... so keep you head screwed on straight! {grumble grumble tourists not knowing road rules grumble grumble}

    > you sig is evil...

    Took me a while to figure out what you meant when I called it up. A plain tan jpeg didn't seem very evil to me, even if was large. I take it that inferior browsers have some sort of difficulty with it due to its size. Konqueror handled it without breaking stride.
