Slashdot Mirror


Help Stress Test The New Slashdot

Here's you chance to generate wasteful http traffic without even having to run unpatched IIS! We're ready to test Banjo, our new fancy setup w/ new code and new hardware. We plan to keep testing until we think the system is ready. You are also welcome to submit Bug Reports, although it would be helpful if you skimmed the list of bugs before submitting new ones so we don't have 300 of you tell us that your user info page has other people's comments listed on it again. The new hardware is mostly in place, but the code hasn't been fully optimized yet, so run your wgets... write your bots... whatever makes you happy, but please don't be malicious: just try to load and submit web pages. And don't be surprised, its gonna go up and down like a yo yo as we fix things.

    Banjo is easily Slashdotted.

    Is it down, or is it just my connection? We've been having problems with the DSL lately, but I think the problem is on Slashdot's end this time.

  14. Abuse by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Isn't slashdot abusing it's power here? I'm posting anonymous because this will probably get modded to hell.

    It seems unfair to the slashdot community for Taco to place this burden square on their shoulders. When software is traditionally beta and load tested, it is done via a very small percentage of the user base, or by a hired agency. The slashdot community, being what it is, will thoughtlessly pound the shit out of any link posted to the front page of the site. The so-called "beta" test posted earlier this month would have been far better suited as a slashcode article, and as another poster pointed out, load testing can be automated fairly easily. Other sites don't ask their own users to QA their next rollout, so why is /. any different? Wouldn't both of the tests have been much better suited to some kind of QA testing house designed for that purpose?

    It seems to me like /. is just using it's user-base to avoid paying for proper testing. Does no-one else here have a problem with this?

    Idiot. Linux is the operating system of choice for commies. Commies have no love for jews.

    Now Windows, is made by jews for jews and idiots in general.

  18. Please troll and slashdot this site for me! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Horribly OT, I know, but I want to harness the slashdot effect, and the proliferation of ingenious trolls here for revenge. See, there's this company called CI Hosting, and they are by far the WORST most INCOMPETENT web host on the planet. They make the IRS epitomize good customer service. Worse, they took a good sum of my money (hundreds of dollars) and are COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE! I've tried the BBB, etc, but this will tkae time, and I want them to suffer the consequences NOW!

    So, EVERYONE, please go to ticketmonster.hostingsupport.com and REGISTER for a free login/password. You DON'T need to be a customer.

    If the /. effect doesn't kill them outright, then logging in lets you submit trouble tickets. So, spam them with brilliant trolls about Jews, goat sex, niggers, WHATEVER! Make their tech support team a living hell so they won't be able to answer any tickets at all -- it's no big loss, 'cause that's how they ALREADY are!

    Finally, please write a nice email to noalegal@noa.nintendo.com explaining how CI Hosting is using Pokemon graphics and characters illegally and in infringement of Nintendo's copyright. Once you see the Ticketmonster site, you'll see what I mean. Hopefully Nintendo will slap them with a big lawsuit.

    Anyways, please join in and teach them a LESSON for SCREWING ME LIKE THIS!

    The only reason you got modded up is because you're one of those techno Jews.

    Oy vey, you're so right.

    After all, I was born in Cardiff, Wales to a parents who are Irish/Scottish and Scottish/French Hugenot (Hugenot = 'Cajuns who didn't immigrate to the USA).

    As you can see, I'm clearly a Yid.

    I ain't got nothing against Jews and all, but ya'll tend to stick together and I kinda admire that. You know like the Mafia and shit.

    Sure do! My best friend since high school is a Jew. Given that I'm not even Jewish, it's a testament to how well we Jews stick together.

    Oh yeah... The only reason I wrote is because I think banjo jokes are dum because they're made up by techno and diamund Jews who ain't never hunted or fished cause thier mama too afraid they gunna get killed by the Klan.

    This Yiddohpile has never enjoyed hunting and fishing. My pastimes instead include wandering around rural automotive wrecking yards, collecting parts for my old cars. My mama's more afraid of the fact that I'm going to have another 1971 Chrysler New Yorker fall on me some day.

    So, Taco, since Slashdot is a for-profit, commercial entity (unless those ads up there deceive me) that ostensibly makes money off the content it posts, did you pay for the right to use Space Ghost's head in the logo for Banjo? Or are you infringing on the owners' copyright? I'm sure the owners would be very interested to find out how their IP is being used...
