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."

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.

Might as well muse on the nature of Slashdotting.. by Anonymous Coward · 2003-12-17 10:50 · Score: 5, Funny

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?
