Code Red III
drcrja was the first to send us this brief bit about Code Red III which is apparently faster and more vicious than its entertaining predecessors. I'm still wondering what I should do with the hundreds of IPs in my desktop's apache log trying hopelessly to overflow my buffer.

Your post seems to have been moderated down as well. This seems to happen very often with posts discussing moderation. It's so common, it's almost caricatural: apparently some moderators can't stand it if you question their moderation skills. If anybody from the Slashdot crew is reading this, may I propose the following safeguard against such moderation abuses:
- If a post has moderator (case insensitive) in the title, and...
- ... a moderator has already moderated any direct or indirect parent of said post...
- ... then the same moderator cannot moderate this post.
It would be relatively safe against abuse (for example, just putting moderators in the title of posts linking to a certain well-known site on the Christmas Islands...) as all the other moderators could still mod it down. Only the moderators who have modded down or up one of the parents would be barred.As an addition, we could remove Offtopic from the moderation menu for any "moderators" post. Although discussion about moderation is not, strictly speaking, on topic, I think these meta-discussions are still justified. You would still be able to moderate them down as Flamebait or Troll, just not as Offtopic (as long of course, as you didn't mod a parent).
He he, yeah... that one has been around for a while but is still funny.
At work I have a penny jar (pretty good sized gallon apple cider jug) full of change on which I have taped a sign that says the same thing, except for 'penny' instead of 'nickel'.
Initially I got some funny looks from people who came by my cube, now they come over and drop a penny in everytime their machine locks up*.
*except now we are all using w2k and we don't get crashes much; people now mostly come over to raid the jar for the odd nickel and dime for the coke machine.

Yeah, we seem to have the tour map.
