I'll say it again. No accountability, no responsibility. If you're anonymous, you can flame away, because you don't have to look at the person you're flaming in the eyes. If you can't see the other person, it's much harder to care about their feelings.
Also, flaming is like playing violent video games. It's to take out aggression, it's to have fun. It shouldn't be taken seriously. If you're being bothered by flaming, take steps to escape the fire, or fight fire with fire.
Mother Net? I think net flamers spawn because of immaturity, not because they serve a purpose. It's possible to disagree with someone in a serious conversation without lambasting his/her very being. I think flamers do as much to defend free speech as people who play violent video games do. What does that mean? I have no idea. --

get two windows boxen, put apache on one. Slaughter them with whatever stress test tools you have. Check to see which one starts refusing connections and when.
Btw, what do you need these servers for? Does the nature of their proposed application suggest which db you should go with? EG, if your companies data is all stored in MS SQL, you'd be an idiot to go with apache on linux, whereas if everything's on a big fat unix db, why bother fucking with IIS, right? --

It has nothing to do with being aclimated, you're putting a tremendous strain on eye muscles that shouldn't be doing that much work.
There are reading glasses specifically for using the computer (and they work dandy for reading too:) and I just got them. My eyes haven't been bloodshot and haven't bothered me since. Suddenly reading something on a computer is just how it was for me in 1994 when I first got my comp: fun! Those glasses alone may make the difference between whether or not ebooks succeed. --
