Apparently you have enough time to speak in the third person about yourself. If you're going to astroturf your website at least make sure your machine and bandwidth can handle the load, idiot.
To those that couldn't load it: all you missed was a very slow loading gallery with 50 pictures and Quicktime movies of someone taking apart a hard disk and attaching shit to it.
Next story, please.
Funny, I'm in a networking class, and the professor just got finished discussing the slashdot effect.
So now that our laptops are going to be classified as weapons, us Geeks are even closer to being chained to the desk, sadly enough. This is not funny, because I just chewed through my posie straps last week, and managed to roam the floor above me. Now that my laptop is a deadly weapon, I guess I should go re-tie those knots and just give up.
kicks-ass.net is a free subdomain from dyndns.org - bet he's having some surfing issues right about now...
You may have a hard drive assault cannon, but your web server crumbles before the /. assault cannon!

Isn't that one of those free redirect services that people generally use to point to their cable/DSLed home machines? He's probably so slashdotted that he can't open slashdot to see that he's been slashdotted.

This one gang kept wanting me to join cause I'm pretty good with a bo staff.
You work for the Department Of Deffence or a related agency right?

Jesus loves you, I think you suck
Hahahaha, that's wrong. Wrong, yet still funny :) I hear New Zeland's internet access is much improved since they upgraded the backbone to the v.92 standard.
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
6. Take backup tape home

I am a programmer. I am paid to produce syntax not grammar. Deal with it.
Hrm, I went to http://hddcannon.ass-kicked.net/ and got the same result.
Isn't burying it under a liposuction clinic a little extreme?
Imagine the bitching if it were a simple text-only "how-to" article.
Hard Drive Assault Cannon HOWTO
1 Introduction
This HOWTO aims to show how to manufacture a hard drive assault cannon.
2 Materials
You will need:
* One (1) or more hard drives, preferrably 3.5", and of unusably small capacity
* One (1) 4.50" ID PVC pipe, length must be at least one foot
* One (1) explosive device, any form
* Materials for explosive device to PVC pipe interface
3 Assembly
Somehow attach the PVC pipe to the explosive device in such a manner that most of the force enters the PVC pipe. Insert the hard drive into the PVC pipe.
4 Usage
Detonate the explosive device. The hard drive should exit the pipe, and move through the air. To use again, the cannon must be reassembled (as per step 3).
*Note: This isn't a real mirror, do not assume this is actually the mirror.
