  2. Re:Scary! It's hidden advertising from Microsoft! on Linux Powered Christmas Tree · · Score: 1

    lol. look carefully. I wrote all those things. "WinXP == ghey" "Win95 OSR 2 called Win97 == ghey" "x-terminals == ghreat" They have been scribbled on and may say something different by now...but who knows. We support Microsoft at work...but i'll be damned if people think I promote it :)

    Yes you better crack down on the CCC right now! Hey, how the hell did you post that if the network is a peice of crap? Don't you pay attention, WPI wins awards for it's network. If you kill 15 of your Porn Divx downloads and 20 movie transfers, then convince your little freshman buddies to do the same... The other guy down the hall *just might* have the ability to do some academic work using the network. Don't want to start a flame war, but you would be hard pressed to find a better group of NetOps.

    If you think about it, the PC isn't doing much. I am sure the majority of users don't click through all the songs, which would be what could really kill it. I'm completely baffled as to why this tree remains running. I'm considering taking the mainboard and other hardware back to my apartment after christmas :) If it can handle that, it gets my 'ghetto router' approval for sure.

    I am so smashing all that shit after break. I'll still be a good employee, just a good employee with a hammer.

  6. Re:How to get your website on /. on Linux Powered Christmas Tree · · Score: 1

    Yes. Xeno has made it his life's mission to ruin everything for us... wed: few hundred hits, thurs: couple hundred hits, friday: 20,000 unique hits. "Someone must have given the url to slashdot...time to get the fire extinguisher and put out the tree" But it's all good.

  7. Re:Hoops and monitor. on Linux Powered Christmas Tree · · Score: 1

    Yeah, see down there we have abnormally tall chairs, and abnormally short chairs. So no matter what you are generally uncomfortable all day. The positive side of this is: You can place a monitor on a tall chair and sit in a short chair and it's all good...just don't use any desks or you will get muscle strain

    Day #2 we had to lower the music in order to avoid the insanity.

  9. Re:Fake? on Linux Powered Christmas Tree · · Score: 1

    Or maybe since we used a p100 we didn't honestly give a shit, as they don't run particularly hot. The fan wasnt spinning for the pictures but the PC was powered up. We didn't bother with putting a new fan on it until day #2 when we realized it may actually need one. As of now there are no heat issues, and I look forward to smashing the whole thing with a giant hammer after Christmass...

    Ok you two...I think I know who you are...and you would have to kill me to fire me. I wonder if the slashdot community knows that just 20feet away from this "new ./ low" sits the "Keeper of the Star Wars?"

  11. Re:race conditions on Linux Powered Christmas Tree · · Score: 1

    It is not fake. Since I am one of the two people that made christmastree I know this for fact. However, I'm also just as surprised as you are that it is handling this traffic so well. We have had over 20,000 hits now. The PC was getting too hot at first, but we just added a fan and things are now fine.
