Slashdot is Moving

← Back to Stories (view on slashdot.org)

As I mentioned yesterday, Slashdot is moving from Exodus East to West. This will be happening at around 11pm Eastern. We hope the downtime will be relatively minimal, but DNS may be a little slower to catch up. You can use brak.slashdot.org for a few days if your DNS is slow to catch up to reality. Hopefully we'll see you on the other side. Hopefully. In the meantime talk amongst yourselves. Here's a topic: Is Agent-X Deadpool?

  Those poor people that live in the mountains. It must take forever for those electrons to make it up to them from near sea-level.

  Yeah, but we get great outbound transmission times since it's all downhill from up here!

Being an Aussie with fuck all knowledge of american geography, I'll take a guess here. I'm assuming that they are moving from a datacentre hosted at Exodus on the East coast of america to a datacentre hosted on the West coast. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

Gulag Taco by plierhead · 2002-10-30 15:31 · Score: 3, Funny

You said "talk amongst yourselves".
There is one thing that has puzzled me about slashdot. That is that very seldom (perhaps never, at least I've never seen them) are any meta-topics posted like "why does the karma system work the way it does". Furthermore anyone who does raise such issues seems to (according to their moaning sigs and bitter journals anyway) be ruthlessly modded down as offtopic, perhaps even causing them to go all feral and troll-like.
What about some discussion that would release these pent up forces and dispel the illusion of "Gulag Taco".

So, one can now assume that Slashdot:

likes PORK

likes BEANS

thinks BACON'S good

wonders why no one comes to see it on its little cloud

and doesn't know why. Maybe it's cuz it's up there cuttin' muffins! :)
