That's just great. You just slashdotted an auction.
I mean, beside the fact that everything will be more expensive now because of the many bids, as other readers, have pointed out, just imagine an auction, SLASHDOTTED.
The auction room packed with people, people waiting outside, people making constant HTTP GETs, sorry, that's requests for getting in, the auction becoming not so responsive etc.
As the subject implies, I still do visit a local (Athens, Greece) BBS system that I still love.
[Note: Don't click this link, it will all be -literally- greek to you]. It's called Acrogate (or Acrobase and GATE). It still has some visitors that gather at nights and talk. It still has F2F meetings. It still has messages in its SIGs.
And best of all? It is running Megistos, a complete -and better, in many aspects, rewrite of the Major BBS system, running in Linux.:-) [Do check this out, if you're interested ANW].
Some established BBSs still have their own, loyal people, and they are not there as competitors to the Internet, but rather complement it.
How to protect an intranet with Linux?

OK, let's say there's an intranet with all sorts of Windows boxes, which uses a masquerade (IPCHAINS) Debian Linux box to connect to the Internet.
How can I use the Linux firewall to protect all the machines inside it from those evil viruses? Any ideas/URLs?
There *must* be something!
Yes, the Internet can be very depressing at times. Like the phone system and the electricity network, those make me depressed too...
Seriously, how can a *medium* be depressing? It all depends on how something is used by the individual. I haven't bothered reading the article, but I don't care about how the majority uses the Internet and feels depressed by it (or not).

So, will Montoya now use an HP laptop instead, to check his car's performance?

Mirrors anyone?
Will you forgive us, MS? We didn't mean it.
