have you ever considered changing the base slash code to something other than straight perl? i'm wondering if you've considered changing to a mod_perl or java servlet world which, with some improvements to the html, would result in a much faster slashdot? i check slashdot multiple times a day on a t1 and still have some speed issues when requesting the site. i would have to believe that something like java servlets would greatly increase the speed of the site.
as far as i know, gcc is still one of the best compilers out there. i've heard that it produces the fastest code out there. plus, you still can't beat free.
you're right, paying attention to the children is what they need, but not in the form of an untrusting search of their belongings. children are people and have rights to privacy too. i don't think that the internet or computer games or any other media are to blame for this incident. parents need to be involved in their childrens lives in a positive way, not an accusatory way.
