And the 9/11 live coverage on Slashdot, when every other news site was down, Slashdot was up and running: http://slashdot.org/story/01/09/11/1314258/world-trade-tower... and http://slashdot.org/story/01/09/11/1842258/our-new-pearl-har...

Ah, fond memories.

If you think about it, the year of the Linux mobile has happened already.
