I have been watching this go by with some delight......but foolishly didn't collect
it. If there's someone that did and has the 'full story', would you please send it to
me?
We had our own fun with NT on a web server (which IS did not run, but was informally
managed)....it would crash 1-3 times a week. The kiss-off came when the web
server....which is the official Admissions window-to-the-world crashed over a
weekend....then a prospective student couldn't get on but
thought the address was wrong and so went poking around until they found the college
newspaper web page (on another server, Unix, which we serve).
Now our college is a *very* free-spirited place and makes a point of
freedom-of-everything, never mind freedom-of-speech...and this prospective
fresh-person poked around further and came across the S&M page on an old issue.
Result: The detonation was awesome. We are assuming responsibility for the web
server and installing Solaris on it.
The S&M page? It stays.....freedom-of-speech.
