  Lord willing they''ve closed shop and are laughing at all the nerds that won''t be able to make it to work because of this.CM ;  Looks up-ish to me.

Morons just post links to tiny webservers without a single ounce of concern for how much money they''re going to cost the hapless site owner. ;quote:Original post by Mithrandir   Maybe they got slashdotted.

The idiots who frequent the site are also responsible.  They enjoy the fact that sites get slashdotted.  I'm pretty certain a lot of people follow links they aren't interested in just to enjoy the power.*edit: I realize some decent people visit slashdot, and I imagine they're not all idiots.  So if you aren't an idiot who enjoys slashdotting helpless sites, don't take any offense at this post.CM   [edited by - Conner McCloud on February 5, 2004 1:34:41 AM];quote:Original post by Conner McCloud  quote:Original post by Mithrandir    Maybe they got slashdotted.

I feel no surge of power whatsoever from clicking a link.   MindEngine Developmenthttp://medev.sourceforge.net;  They probably just linked to themselves, causing thousands of readers to recursively reload the same page and slashdotting themselves  ;  Too bad it''s not down permanently. Slashdot is crap. ----Bart ;  Perhaps the SCO used their domain as a WMD   Colin Jeanne | Invader''s Realm
