Slashdot Mirror

Link seems slashdotted, so here's the mirrordot.

While I personally hate MMORPGs, I wish these fans the best of luck in acquiring the game. Something as large and mainstream as the #3 MMO going FOSS can only mean good things for open-source in general.

What I wonder, though, is who would actually run the game. A perusal of your fandom of choice's lower levels of fanfic will raise questions of the ability of even the most enthusiastic and well-meaning fans to actually run the canon.

Ahem.

Especially useful seeing the article is all on the one page.

Reading the article cached at mirrordot

Amusing that the article has the word "backup" with a handy little tooltip thing which pops up and defines backups as meaning "Pirated games downloaded from the internet or sold cheaply"

It's /.'ed already, just use the mirror.

Posting AC because I don't care about karma.

Here's a mirror

For the lazy: http://mirrordot.org/stories/f63b1c65d3036adaf7672 1715b4c96ba/index.html Someone up here has posted the entire content. My 2 cents, I fully support this type of censorship. It is in the greater interest of the whole society, and being in India, I've heard a lot about communal violence being triggered by very silly reasons.

The site went down because of slashdotting. Can slashdot authors please edit the story in order to change the link to http://www.mirrordot.org/stories/f63b1c65d3036adaf 76721715b4c96ba/index.html ? Yes, it's at Tehelka's site too, but it's a much paired-down version and does not have the second section which lists and categorises sites that are blocked.

I don't know what happened to the news-story link, I know it was there when I submitted it. Anyhow, Google News has many more stories to choose from.

The Improbable Results site I linked is very slow due to media attention. I'm sure Slashdot didn't help :).

Here's a Coral Cache version of the Improbable Results website and the list of present and past winners.

If Coral doesn't work, here's a MirrorDot version of the Improbable Results main page.

Yes, so much so that http://www.mirrordot.org/ didn't appear to have time to cache it!

And the mirrordot server here.

Server has been slashdotted, here's a link to the story on mirrordot

Everyone knows to look at the mirrordot article
when the site stops working. Yeah, I agree the link should be included automatically though.

I'm surprised no one has yet posted this: Slackware Linux Poster

Look, I'm a doctor, not a server administrator who should design machines that can handle being slashdotted!

Anyhow, here's the mirror:

Whatever happened to using MirrorDot?

It's been ages since I've seen it referenced here, but it turns out Mirrordot does have it cached!
Ohloh (front page only)

Mirrordot does not solve the inaccessible video problem, does it?

Click on any of the videos in this mirrordotted article, does it work?

http://mirrordot.org/ as usual. If you've been here long enough to know about the slashdot effect, you've been here long enough to have heard of mirrordot, coral cache, etc etc, rather than just waving at the article server.

Since it's slashdotted, you can check it out at MirrorDot.

But I'll save you the hassle and summarize it for you: he takes a 12cm case fan from an old watercooling rig (just uses the fan, not the water cooling bits) and powers it from the 12V pin of the power supply of an Icy Box hard drive enclosure.

Wow.

Lest you think that the Icy Box is actually doing any cooling, it's not. It's just providing power.

Now why did this make the front page of /.?

Same reaction here. Apparently you win by collecting all 32 treasures. If only we had known about this map!

This news is rather mind-blowing, I could have sworn that all Atari games went on forever and had no point.

Worse, nofollow has another, more pernicious effect, which is that it reduces the value of legitimate comments. Here's how:

Why should I bother entering a comment on your blog, after all? Well, I might comment because you're my friend. But I might also want some tiny little reward for participating in a discussion, contributing to the content on your site, and generally enhancing the value of the conversational Web. That reward? PageRank, baby. But if your blog uses the nofollow tag, you've just eliminated that tiny little bit of reciprocity. Thanks, but no thanks. I'd rather just comment on my own blog. And maybe, if you're lucky, I'll link back to you.

Haha, eat rebukkake Digg fan!
