Let's see. 250,000 people come to Slashdot every day. We'll assume you get a story posted in the morning, right before everyone (well, nearly) gets to work, and they all log onto their favorite site (nonono, not pr0ns-r-us.com), and 1/3 of the users click on the link within an hour of it being up.
That's 83,000(rounded) views, if you have a single page with no pictures. I suppose we can use that as a basis, and people can calculate out from there, if they want to. So:
The average high volume news site (CNN, ABC, Register) can probably withstand 2-3 Sds, while a potato powered, or C64 server could only withstand 10-20 cSds. Of course, the lower powered servers will have less to download, so a single Sd may be managable.
Again, this gets into how many pages/images Slashdot is linked to.
"Hey guys, look! We stood on really tall stilts, does this mean we're flying?"
That would have been something to see.
The robot stands proudly on it's wings, and tells the scientists "Look at me, I generated maximum lift, and I don't have to exert any force at all. Oh, and from here, I can see the mouse is climbing over walls to get to the cheese without going through the maze. You humans are so stupid!"
There's a four book cross-over series that goes into Section 31 in quite a bit of detail...
It starts here.. Cloak(TOS) and moves on to Rogue(TNG), Abyss(DS9), and Shadow(VOY). Pretty good reading, and shows that the Federation has a dark underside...
Instead of the ancient ancestors hopping up and down looking at the slab, the slab will actually talk to them. "Go over there and pick up that bone. Very good. Now club that guy (you know, the one who called you a baboon) over the head with it. Very good. You see? Tools are useful."
And the monkey will respond, "Gee, wally, this is great! What else can I do with tools? I know, I'll make something round and call it a wheel! Won't this be fun!"
I once saw a page that showed just how fast something happens when it doubles...
It opened one page, then that page opened two more, and each of them opened two more, etc, etc... it eventually crashed every system I threw it at, including a SunSparc 20... Was pretty cool. (:
The MPAA has been alerted. They'll be at your door in 20 minutes, to make sure you are thrown in jail for attempting to circumvent the copyright on their media using your optical implants.
I gave this ring to my wife, and now she's never home.. she just disappears for hours at a time.. she says she's going shopping, but I think she's just avoiding me.

IRC is available for just about anything nowadays...
For Windows, try mIRC For *nix, try BitchX For Mac, try IRCle
Good luck finding a server that promotes roleplaying! Undernet uesd to, but then it got torn down by DOS attacks, and it's never been the same.. *sniffle*
No, because DOS died in a horrible accident 7 years ago... His remains are kept up on the mantle... you can look at him by typing "cmd", but he's just a shell (ha ha) of his former self...

That's 83,000(rounded) views, if you have a single page with no pictures. I suppose we can use that as a basis, and people can calculate out from there, if they want to. So:
1 Slashdot (Sd) = 83,000 views (per hour).
1 CentiSlash (cSd)= 830 views
1 MilliSlash (mSd)= 83 views
1 MegaSlash (MSd)= 83 million views
The average high volume news site (CNN, ABC, Register) can probably withstand 2-3 Sds, while a potato powered, or C64 server could only withstand 10-20 cSds. Of course, the lower powered servers will have less to download, so a single Sd may be managable.

Further study is advised.
Can we ban people who don't know how many inches are in a foot, too?
I would want to make sure it had some initial conditions that it didn't have to learn on the fly...
"Attacking healthy red blood cells is Bad."
"Cutting through your neck is Bad."
And so forth...
You forgot to send me your .DOC document over your NIC card, so I could run it on my SPARC computer.
Be right back, I need to get some money out of the ATM machine to pay you for it.
Come on, if you're gonna make fun of the guy, go all the way!
We'll stop subverting your computers, as soon as you stop poisoning and flouridating our natural bodily fluids!
I'm sorry, it must be all that pure grain alcohol and rain water getting to me.

That news was announced on April First.... you do the math.
Sorry, not gonna happen. ):

The last time I saw that license, was on my copy of Dianetics...
tee hee.
When I saw your sig, I thought it said "cyclical haiku".. but then it wasn't, so I made one that was.

Server != Desktop.
Nah, it's completely legal... These numbers are made up, but they should illistrate the point.
Microsoft: Tell ya what, Dell. If you promise to only sell computers with our OS, we'll only charge you 30 dollars for a copy.
Dell: That sounds good. What if we want to seel OS-less or Linux computers.
Microsoft: Well, then the OEM Price for Windows goes up to 60 dollars each.
Dell: Ow. I guess I'll just sell computers with an OS installed (Quick, lawyers! make sure the agreement doesn't specify Windows!)
in REALLY OT form...
Why is it that archetects are afraid of having floor 13, but publishers aren't afraid of having chapter 11?
I gave this ring to my wife, and now she's never home.. she just disappears for hours at a time.. she says she's going shopping, but I think she's just avoiding me.
psst- sarcasm is your friend.
woah woah woah... aren't my documents also in the "~" directory?
I coulda sworn I saw them there. (:
What's the end of your sig say? Read my sig to see my feelings on the subject. (:
Who rolls a character with a D20? 3D6 is where it's at, baby! Sure, max you can roll is 18, but you never have to worry about a 1 or 2 int, either!
