Typically Cyrix have made very poor CPUs, I doubt there top of the range chips would be able to beat a top of the range celeron, why would anyone want to buy them?
I'd imagine it'd be because they couldn't be bothered to get a webserver, let alone one powerful enough to take a slashdotting, but it makes you wonder why they wouldn't just get some webspace for a month or so (webspace with unlimited bandwidth at a certain cost of course:) ).

Interesting read.
Mike Tyson in London in January 2000 after spending $1.6 million on a watch and a diamond bracelet.
Actually he'd only bought the watch, costing 1 million on it's own, after not being able to buy an F1 car. It was in G2, a supplement of The Guardian this morning:)
Stone: We are going to continue to push it..Net on Linux is a great idea. We just hope Microsoft isn't against the idea.
I'd 'just hope' Linux users aren't against the idea.
He believes the RIAA's tactics may not be taking into consideration the damage they do to innocent people
I'd be more intrested in questioning the legality of the RIAA's 'tactics'.
By proceeding carefully, documenting everything, being persistent and keeping his cool, Steve Oualline was awarded a $199 refund for his unused copy of Microsoft Windows XP
Wouldn't it be easier to not buy it atall and get it off Bittorrent?
Learning Perl
When it comes to working a little "behind the scenes" magic for a Web site or putting together a UNIX script which interrogate databases and produce reports based on the information they contain, there are few better languages to do the job than Perl.
Learning Perl draws on the expertise of two of the major supporters of this highly flexible language, Randal Schwatrz and Tom Christiansen, to produce an introductory manual which manages to be concise yet informative throughout.
Weighing in at a mere (for a computer manual) 271 pages it achieves admirably what it sets out to do--teach Perl basics and no more. From the introduction to the different variable types through hash arrays, file access, process management and coding for the World Wide Web, it's a well-paced easy-to-understand book which assumes a rudimentary knowledge of programming but no more.
With its multitude of clear examples which help to hammer home the many points made and set exercises at the end of each chapter, it builds knowledge rather than drowning the reader with information as many other books seem to do.
This is the first in a series of books on the subject from O'Reilly Publishing, the others being Programming Perl, Advanced Perl Programming and the Perl Cookbook and it truly is a great introduction to a language which is enthusiastically supported by developers and Web coders worldwide. Well worth a read.

Yeah... child abuse.

Who needs this kind of space for pictures? I guess this is probably aimed at professional photographers...
If you look on the Eff website, it has some interesting ways in compensating the artists if you don't want to buy their CDs.
this will have any effect on Ximian though... so I'm not too bothered ;)
Site slashdotted alright and no google cache :/
Ahh this post and the posts below it really made me wince :/
...the IC-R3 also receives regular television signals, amateur television, and wireless security camera signals."
...and pr0n?
Guess that makes me an outlaw, because you'll have to pry my iTrip from my cold, dead hands.

These would make brilliant spy planes! They could silently sneak into a Russian military bunker in the middle of the night!

They should try one of those motherboards with fancy IDE encryption, that'll keep their data safe!
Solaris 8 Administrator's Guide is a good alternative, if slightly more advanced. A full review can be found on the Amazon website.

I can hardly see DOS or the like being useful in the future, can you?
'...and how he had nothing to do with the creation of C'
That's something to be proud of!
