I have a similar story. In Junior High, my daughter had a choir teacher that was terrible. Until that experience, she loved singing. After that year, she hated it. It took me three years of gently working with her to convince her to give choir another shot. When she finally did give it a try again, she loved it. If I hadn't worked so hard to undo the damage caused by that one, poor teacher, my daughter would have never rediscovered her love of singing.
This thing will generate 28000 TB of data per hour!
Not to start a pissing contest over how much data the LHC will produce, but I got this directly off of the CERN web site:
The Large Hadron Collider will produce roughly 15 petabytes (15 million gigabytes) of data annually - enough to fill more than 1.7 million dual-layer DVDs a year!
The real problem with this plan (idealogical arguments aside) is that the vast majority of those who will bother to switch will naturally be the open source advocates. These are the ones who are most likely to be running an open-source web server on an open-source OS anyway, so the stats will hardly be shifted at all.
Actually, since this plan is targeted towards people with parked domains, I would expect the gain to be much larger than if Bruce was just starting up yet another hosting company. It is the open source advocates that would be willing to change their parked domains from GoDaddy.com to OpenSourceParking.com that Bruce is after.

Now that this has been posted on slashdot, I wonder how his email will increase as slashdotters try this out.
Just think of the problems you have when you forget to flush the buffer.

One bad teacher can ruin a student for life!

That is closer to 1.7 TB per hour.

I heard that there are three types of reports from the MPAA: lies, damn lies, and statistics.
