National Do Not Call List Opens for Registrations

prockcore writes "The National Do Not Call Registry is up and running. Sign up so most telemarketers cannot call you starting October 1st. There are exemptions though, like for charities and political organizations." Note that many of the states which have opened their own registries will be sharing that data with the national list, so you may not have to re-register - check and see what your state is doing.

.NET can't handle slashdot effect

[estoll]

If you notice, their web site is running on Microsoft.NET, which cannot handle the slashdot effect very well... Of course, most servers can't but I thought I would make note of it.

so slow thanks to Microsoft....

Is anyone else finding this site ungodly slow. No suprise! A check with Netcraft shows it to be running IIS 5.0. Lord! Folks here have been trying all day to get in--only two of us have made it and we've both been stuck on the submission page for 30+ minutes. Probably running Moose-and-Squirrel SQLServer, too... Compared to how Apache handled the Starr Report, this is a great banner for Microsoft and it reads not ready for enterprise play.
