  1. Lay off the Server! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0

    You might have noticed that it takes a damn long time to get these pages to load - this is because the site has been slashdotted (strange that!).

    Currently the load is hovering at around 80, and they are trying to convert the pages from php to html to lessen the impact of this surge of interest!

    Well, the URL on the butt of Tux says www.waiyiptoys.com .. so I guess you could try that if you want ;-)

  7. yes, cute... US source here by yack0 · · Score: 1

    WaiYip is selling them wholesale to people. I'm one of those people. If you want em in the US, let me know. If you want em outside US, I've seen them for AUD$17 searching altavista for 'tux linux penguin' and USD$10 from other sources. I've got em for $8 +shipping. You can also order em by the boatload from WaiYip directly. If you're interested in a few, feel free to check out my page: penguins . We're planning on doing a photo shoot with ours as well, but we have to wrench the digital camera from someones hands. If you have ideas for the photo shoot, let me know. I'm open to suggestion.

    Since this is a .au site are they available down under? Or were they got in from overseas? If they are available in .au, how much do they cost?

    Shouldn't this be in 'humor,' not Linux?

    I mean, granted, yes, it involves Tux, so the Tux logo is appropriate, but still, could we have some *consistency* here?
