sites starting to creak under the slashdot pressure (with all those pics) so here is the coral cache of the article

Coral cache.

Everyone deserves a good wank once in a while.

Zonk writes "If you've ever wanted to slashdot your own server or just to see how one works, check out this tutorial. The article talks about how the slashdot effect works and gives a guided example through an exploit to help you on your way. Definitely worth checking out." From the article: "Every now and again we all hear about a server disappearing from the face of the earth thanks to the slashdot effect, but what is the slashdot effect? By definition it is when a slashdot editor posts a link on the frontpage to a small server without using coral cache and zillions of slashdotters click on the link the minute the story is published, thus hammering the server into oblivion. To show how this is actually done, I'll explain how to submit a story with a link to your own server by praising Apple, dissing Microsoft or revealing more SCO conspiracies."

Took a while for the site to come out of 408 error, but here it is: Cache

A .pac file is better suited to blocking ads by denying connections in a web browser. It lets you block/allow by URL rather than just hostname (i.e. block http://server.com/ads/ but still allow http://server.com/goodstuff/ through). It's a lot like the Ad-Block extension for Firefox, but not tied specifically to one browser. It works in all modern browsers and many other internet programs (email clients, etc.). See http://www.schooner.com.nyud.net:8090/~loverso/no- ads/ for details. As with Ad-Block, a few regular expressions in a no-ads.pac file will block most ads as well, even with no site-specific filters.

A no-ads.pac file will be slower than a HOSTS file (it uses Javascript inside the browser to process it, rather than being handled by the networking subsystem of the OS). However, any remotely-modern PC should have no problem with the tiny amount of extra processing needed. John LoVerso has claimed that he used to run it on a (sub-200MHz?) P1 and didn't notice any slowdown on that.

I do use my HOSTS file to block servers that I absolutely don't want any connections made to (in my browser, email, IM, or anything else). However, I found the HOSTS file to work very poorly for blocking ads in web pages, compared to these other methods.

Here is graph showing the software contracts going to commercial vendors verses open source solutions the funny thing is that 10 years ago there was more Open source usage than there is now.

My cousin Vern over at NASA in Huntsville has CB(/vert) in his Coon truck.

Before you yankees and ethnics get all hot and bothered, have a look at some old timey hunters with coons. Oh yeh, all you city slicker preservationists. Here's what you do with the coon after nailing his salty skin on a board and hanging it on the side of the barn. That's a joke son. Look here if you need a coon recipe. Nothing gets wasted. Even the scent gland which the dogs love to roll in. Besides, there's a culture that needs preserving! A culture of sensitive souls.

If don't know it by now, a coon truck is a modern tool used by present day coon hunters to haul the dogs. Coon hunting being a social sport leads to more than one truck. The favored form of communication is CB radio. Which gets me to the point.

To keep the CB 'whip' antenna from chipping the trucks paint as it 'whips' arond, Vern put a tennis ball on the end. He suggested that the ESA install something similar but they just wouldn't listen to a dumb ole redneck.

Captain James T. Kirk of the starship Enterprise. Damn, he's so sexy.

Now, now. If you're going to bring that up, we've got to post the originals too! These are definitely worth looking at.

There's several other Star Trek animations on that site that are pretty funny. There's also some very odd ones, like the Unlucky Ant (dealing somewhat with the Schiavo issue).

Just to back up that Tiger games example with a link
http://users2.ev1.net.nyud.net:8090/~rik1138/Tiger /

Tiger Games made a lot of small LCD games and tabletops , i used to have heaps and this was well before 96.I think more recently they made the game.com (bit of a failure)

In the end, Enterprise and the last few movies were brought down because they weren't telling good stories. Tell a good story and people will watch.

I sure hope somebody sees this and mods you Insightful because that is _*IT*_. The problem is idiots like Berman are so egotistical and blind to the fans that they figure if the ratings are low it's the fans' fault. Their stories are perfect--who could ask for better?--so it must be for some other reason that the show is dying.

The best thing for Star Trek would be if Berman and Braga simply disappeared.

Just for fun, here's an example of just how stupid (coral cached link) the last Trek film was. Funny, yes, but sadly accurate.

Slashdot editors, learn to use this service!

The man who took nintendo from a local playing card company , to a corperate Behemoth of the Gaming world.
If it wern't for his foresight , it is likely today the only time you would hear the name nintendo , is if for some reason someone read the manufacturing info on a deck of cards during a game of poker.

Both of these companies were not just major users of H-1b and outsourcing -- they were the leaders of this trend.

Again, Microsoft isn't just another H-1b user -- its a mainline corporate junkie of the H-1b fix that's proven only to put stockholders in a fix.

This isn't ironic or puzzling -- it is entirely predictable and it was predicted by people who are now going to take the information industry back from the brainiacs who thought they were being very clever and cosmo and, above-all, fashionable, by throwing open the doors of the US to the world.

Ever since Scott McNealy said:

I am fighting with our government to allow H1B visas cap to be raised. I was in at the White House talking to the chief of staff to get the H1B visa cap raised. We already half way through the fiscal year, capped out on the number of really bright Israelis and Indians.

First Sun.

Then HP.

Now Microsoft.

Guess what, suckers?

You lose.

Welcome to slashdot you must be new here ..Not a good idea to link to an image on your website mate.

Here is a coral cach , but as the above poster said .. shameless dude

Here's a mirror: http://www.jellyslab.com.nyud.net:8090/~bteo/hacke r.htm

Since the majority of /. readers just want to read the article, how about caching it with Coral ?

Those who really want to reply on the forum could just strip off the .nyud.net:8090 from the end of the URL. Guys, stop Slashdotting poor sites!

Until the signal plugs into my robotic central nervous system, there will always be an anlogue hole... my dilated pupil.

"Quick, get the MPAA and RIAA leadership on the line! I finally figured out how to fix that damn analog hole problem...and to think, The Three Stooges knew the answer all along!"

And of course don't forget the Third Button!

Thanks for the direct link, Kev. Their server seems to be extremely slow right now, so I'd suggest using the Coral Mirror of the file.

Combining Kev Vance's comment about a direct link to the movie and nstrom's comment about using the Nyud.net mirror, I give you a high-bandwidth direct link:

The nyud.net mirror seems to be holding up for me at least.

You should save your bandwidth by giving out Coral links on cases like this.

Here are the coralized links:

The raw scans (tiff, 100Mb)

Cleaned version (tiff, 100Mb) (looks like ~6 Mb to me)

JPEG version (1.7 Mb)

There's a Firefox extension at their plugins and source code download section.

There is a language being developed codenamed cairo ( mayb final name too ) to be used in Linux. its a GTK fork. and its special feature is ability to use opengl rendered screens in place of bitmaps for window drawing. A product is already being developed using this called luminocity.

I dont know much of it and havent even used it yet, but it looks like something sitting on top of gnome and giving eye-candy to user. I know that the next version of windows is known to use Direct3D to draw windows . so mayb luminocity will beat microsoft's in giving the end-users 3D rendered enviorment to work. (ofcourse i know sun's glass. but to me its vapourware and i HATE sun's linux or whatever it is).

Here's the Coral cache should the worst happen, and Doubleclick get /.ed.. That should help out those with the hosts file protection, but not those with adblock stuff that pick out D-Click and the like from content, which maddeningly I fell for ... for a few minutes anyway. UGH! Slashdot has ads?!?

On that point - since I'm the kind that deploys ad-blocking measures, and having skimmed the report and seen mention of "impressions", I hope they don't count the likes of me as someone who consumes their ads. Even when I'm on a browser that isn't covered in tinfoil, my eyes tend to keep clear by themselves. How can they class me as a pair of eyeballs? Every "page impression" statistic they publish should be annotated with the following: "All figures inclusive of 20% who use adblocking tech, and 25% who just take no notice"
