Unexpected Slashdot Downtime

slashdot

You’ll be targeted by the sharpshooters either way. Upgrade the system and they’ll complain that you should cater to the lynx-using crowd (all five of ‘em), and so avoid the necessity of an upgrade. Don’t upgrade it and they’ll complain that the site doesn’t load like greased lightning. Again, a pure text, no graphics site would fix all your problems, they’ll say.
Then there will be the sharpshooters who will feign disinterest. Nategoose, for example, will say: “How does this affect my life?” as if he could take Slashdot or leave it.
This is all just proof that those who actually get their hands dirty and create something wildly successful will always incur the wrath of a few cranks.

    Me too… I am guessing Karmaa is a bit of a Karma whore, since these are one story and would look a lot better on one page.

    Great. Now explain why the view from the starports in the Star Trek ships shows straight lines for the stars.

    i’ve been doing all this and more while barbecuing, i wish there were easier ways for us to express ourselves online.

    When I worked at Target, I remember having a discussion with a manager about the grammatically incorrect catch phrase “Can I help you find something?” He said it bothered him, too, but the company had done extensive market research and this was the phrase that people liked best.
