Revised Hall of Technical Documentation Weirdness

DBarefoot writes "Last August, my Hall of Technical Documentation Weirdness was submitted to Slashdot. Some folks found it at least mildly amusing, and I received a bunch of submissions of documentation weirdness from Slashdotters and others. So we've just posted an updated version of the Hall, with more than twice the images and easier navigation."

Is this a test of the /. effect?

OK, seriously, you really are just load testing your web server, right? This site is has collapsed under the /. effect with only one comment posted, in the middle of the night USA time.

It was slashdotted BEFORE it appeared on the main page.

No it wasn't. I have not subscribed, and thus could read the story only after it appeared on the main page. I could check the index page and two images before the slashdot effect killed the site.

Ya know, for my job I proofread and rewrite Japanese books. I dont think there is a worse language, japanese people have just enough comprehension of english to mangle it in astounding ways. Plus, with katakana, they are under the impression that the way they write/pronounce things is the same way as english speakers. Then again, the people I work with thought Schwarzenegger was American. They also think Green Day is punk. Go Figure.

when will http incorporate bittorrent technology, that's what I want to know.

Then the slashdot effect would be no more!

Notice they show the stop being used on the opening side of the door. That is because someone might try to slam the door without realizing the stop is there. It's pretty easy to damage hollowcore interior doors.

But I'm sure you already knew not to use a stop on the closing side, right?
