Blinkenlights Reloaded - The Matrix Returns
An anonymous reader writes "On the occasion of this year's Chaos Communication Congress some hackers of the German CCC have set up another Blinkenlights installation in Berlin (they use the glass facade of a house as a giant computer screen). It is on the same house as from September 2001 till February 2002 but with similar capabilities to the installation in Paris in September/October 2002. Heise has a story about this (German, here's the Google translation), but actually there's better information on the project website itself."
Them's lights aren't "blinken" anymore!
First ever faster-than-light Slashdotting, apparently. I wonder if anyone in Berlin suffered from a flicker-induced seizure before the house went completely dark.

they set em up....we knock em down

I'm sure "BlinkenLights" accurately describes the front of the server.
Das Machine is nicht fur gefingerpoken und mittengrabben. Ist easy schnappen der springenwerk, blowenfusen und poppencorken mit spitzensparken. Ist nicht fur gewerken by das dummkopfen. Das rubbernecken sightseeren musten keepen das cotten-pickenen hands in das pockets - relaxen und watchen das blinkenlights.
since it's already down. I've often wondered what would happen if Slashdot had a link to Fark, and in retaliation Drew linked it right back to Slashdot. Which one would crash first?
they love us. We *heart* you to :)

In my mind, Blinkenlights is a *tad* less important than our getting betrayed by our elected officials.
For SHAME!! This is AMURICA!! Don't you realize that flashy blinky things are of far more importance than our own government? I mean, really, pointing out government hippocracies and caring about what happens? You must be some kind of commie TERRORIST!!! Go back to Canada, Ivan.
Now if you'll excuse me, FOX News is on and I wouldn't want to miss any Fair and Balanced (tm) News (tm)

It's a huge movie, it requires a fat link to see it play smoothly. I mean like a T3 or better, not your piddly little ADSL connection.
