      Brad Fitzpatrick apparently agrees with your take on LJ, judging from the sample user data shown on page 24 of the presentation:

      Haha. This part got me here --

      without a doubt Jesus would've been the best president ever. When he was only 12 years old he went to the temple to preach to the Jews and was just amazing everyone. Think how much better the U.S.A. would be if Bill Clinton wasn't Bill Clinto but instead was Jesus? Do you think we'd be fighting a way? NO!! We'd all be loving each other because thats what Jesus was about! LOVE! There isn't enough love in the world! Jesus would also be great because hes not only the son of god, HES A PRINCE OF PEACE!!! Hed probably do things differently. Even George W Bush could learn from Jesus (and thats why George W Bush is a christian and we need to keep him in office!!)

    Ok, so most of the Journals lack even a scrap of entertainment value... but the data feeds are normally fun. Is there anyone left that hasn't wasted a few bytes on the following url?

    Hint - its a constantly updating list of all the new images posted to journals. After a while you give up waiting for a hot chick to post and decide crazy survey graphics are as good as it gets. And then some hot chick posts her birthday party pictures, but she's only 14 and suddenly you wish you'd spent the day doing something else.

    Hypothetically, if Microsoft ported IIS to Linux, could you actually then run LIMP?

    Porn (Score:4, Interesting)

    I worked at a huge (now defunct) porn site.

    The funny thing is, I'm pretty sure the interesting mod is about working for a porn site, and has nothing to do with the hardware or software (for those who even read that far... ;)

    It's somewhat amusing that in the first load balancing example, one of the points of failure was Kenny. Especially since Kenny ALWAYS DIES.
