    LPBN caught all the SCALE talks on video and has them available online. Everything from the case for Linux in the University, to the latest 2.5 updates from Robert Love and Patrick Mochel.

    So we beat the fscking shit out of thier servers and rack up their bandwidth bills... how nice.

      Hmm... it seems like this happens 8 times out of 10. Can someone please tell me what it would take for us to be able to do a mirror of this stuff when it's posted? With all of the freakin geeks on this board, I'm sure we have the combined intelligence to build nuclear weapons... making something similar to google cache shouldn't take more than a week or two a the most.

      Just think.. when an article is posted, we could actually read it! But then we wouldn't have anything to bitch about.

      Money.

      Bandwidth costs money.

      So they are thrashed the day they get posted. They will recover. Many many more of thier target audience now knows they exist. This is a net gain for the postee, whatever harm they get that first day.

  2. Yeah we got Linux at our University.... by Dareth · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... and people get excited when they see LILO when it boots. Then they start asking questions, like what is this? Where can I get it? Is Di$ney's Stitch hiding in the blue background somewhere?

  3. Linux in Universities by locarecords.com · · Score: 5, Interesting
    I think the is an inescable argument for LINUX to be used in Universities. At my Uni we are looked into Microsoft campus agreements that are *impossible* to get out of without an exceedingly shocking leave clause. Now whoever signed that shouldn't have but now getting out is harder and people get used to their software and then Microsoft becomes a very expensive *need*

    On the contrary if they had moved in an Open Source direction at least they would be spared this restrictive contract and they could have bought Office for those that were really keen rather than EVERYONE even *if they don't use M$ products!!!

  4. Is the google cache /.'d as well? by Blimey85 · · Score: 3, Informative
    Here is the link to the google cache:

    It's coming up real slow for me though... still hasn't loaded so I don't know if it will help anyone or not.

    But it's worth a try.

      Damn we're good.

      In the beginning we could take down servers with a mere few clicks.

      But that wasn't good enough. We didn't want to just crash the servers, we wanted to truly stop anyone from viewing the data so next we attacked the cache.

      Now we:

      • 1. Link to the site.
      • 2. Nuke the site.
      • 3. Nuke the google cache.
      • 4. ???
      • 5. Profit

    This is AWESOME news! Now I don't have to rent a DVD, check HBO 1-6, go to the opera, or interact with other human beings in any way! This makes my Friday night! YESSSSS!!! I only wish I could decide which one to watch first! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  7. I've finally had an original idea! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Slashdot is selling subscriptions but what do you really get for paying money? Not that much. What if Slashdot offered a cached copy of any articles/sites/etc. that it links to, but only to subscribing customers?

    Gets Slashdot more money, offers yet another reason to subscribe, and it allows the more frustrated users a way to see the linked articles the same hour they are posted. I for one would cough up quite a bit to be able to see the articles right away every time. I think this could work great.

    Why not just use the net and find things that interest you on your own? Beats having someone else decide what you should look at, me thinks....you risk missing more than you might find with a /. IV in your arm if you just hang here 24/7.
