LOL @ the font story! I love that stuff.
And I love that there are typeface nerds!

It looked like some of the guys doing testing in JS were testing a single server from a single test host. Won’t they run into the port number limitation pretty soon after hitting C10K?
(Plus, there were some comments about Mac OS not scaling. It should have kqueue, like FreeBSD, so it should be able to scale in a similar way to epoll.)

I must admit the font story brought a smile to my face and a hearty chuckle! Oh, the irony!
