Also known as "the Slashdot effect". A zillion people click through to your link and the server responds by hacking up a hairball.

Actually the Linux boxes I use for servers are amazingly hardy little beasts. I have one that's been up for 280 days without a reboot and that's only because they had a power failure last year. Linux rocks.

"Tux", the Linux mascot.

And here you see the Windoze mascot, "Wormy", chasing his newest playmate:

For Windows VISTA they're renaming him to "Infecto".
(BTW, did you know that "VISTA" stands for the key components of Windows: Viruses, Infections, Spyware, Trojans, and Adware.)

I used to go to Slashdot. This was, like, way back when I was still into Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt

This is [a href="vny!://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057012/"]how I learned  to stop worrying and love the bomb[/a]. I read and re-read [a href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch-22"]Catch 22[/a] until it finally made sense. However, I wasn't yet strong enough for the [a href="vny!://www.researchpubs.com/books/atroprod.shtml"]Atrocity Exhibition[/a], but I did manage [a href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_Lunch"]Naked Lunch[/a].

So on the whole it wasn't half bad.
