According to Wikipedia, Slashdot uses Boa webserver. Is that right or is this the Wikipedia page out of date?

Looks like they've just added another version (probably without the song in question).

Submission + - Somebody claims to have just downloaded SoundCloud's Entire Library (edm.com)

nielo writes: "The past couple of months have been filled with ups and downs for the "YouTube of Music". Reports initially claimed that SoundCloud would shut down in 50 days, until Chance The Rapper (hopefully!) saved the day. With the stream of contradicting reports we've been hearing, it's understandable to be doubtful of SoundCloud's future. What are we going to do if we can't listen to our favorite songs or mixes anymore? It's scary to think that thousands of hours of music could suddenly disappear with no way to recover it.

Enter /u/makemakemakemake. On the DataHorder subreddit, he posted a comment saying he downloaded the entire library. Yes, you read that correctly... the ENTIRE 900TB library. Think about it, that means literally every song on SoundCloud is on one man's hard drive. At 80Gb/s he claimed it took him just one weekend to collect the data."

Hi,
Firstly if you're looking for opensource app replacements you can always try www.osalt.com.

Personally I'd try:
Photoshop: GIMP or GIMPShop or Krita
Illustrator: Inkscape or XaraXtreme
InDesign: scribus
Dreamweaver: KompoZer or Aptana or seamonkey or Amaya or href="http://net2.com/nvu/">NVU

I also found this website which might help: www.thefreesuite.com

Here are the relevant OSalt links:

I was once at a lan party at and we were playing Joint Operations and specifically the map where you're in a shipping yard by the sea. I was climbing up the ladder of a shipping crane and I kept feeling this breeze on me. I thought wow this is realistic. I was so engrosed in the game I didn't realise there was a fan behind me!
