The
E-mails of our Discontent
We all know how pervasive e-mail has become, but is the amazing power of this
still fairly new medium balanced by any safety, privacy, or freedom of expression
constraints? And if e-mail is so widely used, why can't people learn to run
spellcheckers or pick up a grammar book? Check out Tom Ziegler's thoughts on
these issues in The E-mails of
our Discontent.

Slashdotted:
Surviving The Slashdot Effect
When ChipGeek writer Rick C. Hodgin submitted his article on Revolutionizing
x86 performance, we knew we had a winner. Sure enough, when his proposal
went up we got Slashdotted for the first time. Chief Technologist Rob Hughes
takes a look at the effects of being linked to by the highly popular website,
and tells you how Geek.com managed to shoulder the load. Check out his comprehensive
analysis of how getting Slashdotted effects your hardware, software,
and revenue.

Finding
My Religion
Returning to your roots is a classic, long-time theme in literature, TV, and
other media, and it's always sure to bring a tear to the eye or a choke-up to
the throat ... except in Geekdom, usually, where we are devoted to what's new
and what's around the corner. John R. Sundman, longtime Geek and author of one
of my favorite books (Acts
of the Apostles), begins a new feature for us about his return to Geekdom.
He's soliciting advice from Geeks of all flavors as he begins his quest, so
read the article and then comment in the Message Parlor.

Silicon
Samurai
Most people, especially Geeks, have seen news stories covering a topic they're
familiar with but that gets it all wrong, sometimes frighteningly so. In News
& Newsbytes, Silicon Samurai takes a look at at this phenomenon
and questions how far it extends into mainstream news sources. There's also
some history and perspective on one of the 'Net's dearly departed news sites,
Newsbytes. Check it out.

Linux:
What's the Big Deal?
Whether you're a Linuxphile, a Linuxphobe, or a What'sLinux? person, Thomas
Brady's article exploring the origins and future of the upstart, Open Source
operating system is sure to teach you at least a few things that you didn't
know (or had forgotten). From how to pronounce Linux to why it's making Microsoft
nervous, Thomas covers it all.

What's
in a Name?
Tom Ziegler wrote a great piece for us on the origin, connotation, and changing
nature of both over time of the words "geek" and "nerd."
You'll be surprised at some of the great little tidbits you can pick up from
his article ... and we've got a classic picture that we're sure you'll want
to save. Check it out.
