Slashdot Mirror
Help Test Exciting All-New Slashdot "Banjo"
After far too long in development, Slashdot is ready to move to
the latest version of Slashcode.
To this end, we really need people to test our development box, aka Banjo. This is not a load test, so please don't beat the crap out of it (yet!). Please read comments, post comments, and test out wacky new features like Journaling and the assorted new messaging options. It is mostly identical but there are several cool surprises. We have many optimizations still to add, and only have a fraction of our "real" hardware on Banjo so don't worry about speed, instead look for things that don't work right (or at all!) and send those bug reports. (Known issues: imported comments are misattributed, and comment searching is disabled. Don't report these things please ;))
Slow down cowboy! Slashdot requires you to wait 20 seconds between hitting reply on comments.pl and submitting a comment. It's been 17 seconds since you hit 'reply'!
Bitchin'... totally bitchin!
Pirst Fost!
Remembering your name in the morning is already a good start...
First Mike Bouma post!!
Damn waiting 20 seconds, goddamn it!! Damn you! Damn you all to hell!!

If everyone else on the internet suffers from the "Slashdot Effect" then how come Slashdot itself doesn't get "Slashdotted"? ;)
The company I work for was recently interviewing for new programmers. They asked me if I had any questions for the potential employees that I'd like the manager to ask at the interview.
Only two... ask them what "31337" is and ask them to explain the "Slashdot Effect".
Only one person answered both questions right... and he also got the job. :)
Sincerely,
Ah.. good one.
CYIaBCo <ignorant ass moderators> SUYA?!!!
(Oh, come on, that wasn't even a real goatse link! And why wasn't #39 modded down into oblivion in the first place?!!! "Come and see the violence inherent in the system!...")
NOT FUNNY
Hunh? What the fuck are you talking about? Go sit in the corner with the dunce cap on and your fingers up your asshole.
Come on, it's at least a little bit (+1, Funny). Were I the uber-moderator, I would take one of them to 5, and render the rest (2, Redundant). Have a little fun on a friday!
Karma whore attempt +5
Sir, you're full of shit; therefore your new nick shall be Shithead
In light mode, the text of each article in the main page just extends horizontally as far as it goes all on one line. I have to use the horizontal scroll bar just to read it. The bug here is that the <NOBR> tag for the menu row is not properly closed. The slash is missing in the closing </NOBR> tag.
BTW, a <NOBR> tag is a bad idea for that menu for light mode, as it will cause horizontal scrolling for itself.
now we need to go OSS in diesel cars
You've reached the maximum number of times you can access users.pl: 121 accesses over 4 hours.
Two comments:
What in Brian Boytano's Green Earth does "Maximum Users Viewings Exceeded" mean?! I'm not even sure if it's grammatically correct.
If this is your obfuscated way of saying, "You're a dumbass. You've tried unsuccessfully to log in 121 times in the last 4 hours," please rework it. I've not tried that many times (though I do have a tendency to forget my password). Why 121? And what's the point?
Maybe it's just some effect of being banjo-dotted.
You've reached the maximum number of times you can access users.pl: 123 accesses over 4 hours.
I waited 2 minutes (maybe it's doing some werid average calculation), and I got that error again (the number of accesses changed to 144, then 148, etc).

Well, I'm pretty sure I haven't. Lose it, or at least check the hostname of the client with a pattern like /(cache)|(proxy)/i and not apply limits if matches.
I've used slashcode for a variety of projects, but then a couple of months ago I found Phpnuke It's really similar to slashcode except in PHP. Its much easier to install since you only need Apache,PHP and Mysql instead of intalling all those PERL modules. It has a lot of cool features that slashcode doesn't have so check it out.
