Manager Disables Web Server by Sneaking Away Xbox

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the solve-with-a-post-it-note dept.

Thinking that the Linux Web server (which used a Microsoft Xbox for its hardware) was a normal game console, he snuck the device out of the server room and home for his son to play over the holiday weekend. The philosophy students who used the server for their class were not amused."

    What were they doing with it, sitting around asking 'what is the sound of 1 Xbox playing?' Philosophy kids don't actually DO anything, esp. on weekends, so whats all the outrage?

      Umm, hello, they play the xbox. Without the "web server" they can't do that anymore.
