    This site includes an IP counter. I'm guessing 20,000 IPs in the first hour (or the server crashes...)

    14:10GMT - 1951 IP's
    14:21GMT - 3170 IP's
    14:27GMT - Sorry non-subscribers. We broke it before you got here....

    No, it's a dynamic page, which according to the site does several pattern matching algorithms (hence the severe slashdot effect - see my below post)

    On the bitmap, and IP address is 4bytes, or 32bits. On a black and white bitmap you can map each 1 to a white, 0 to a black and add a fixxed width and bingo your bitmap.
    The poker could be done in a pretty much the same way just convert it to a diffent base, and look at what digits you get.

    I don't know if this is the same site, but I saw one a couple months ago that determines how interesting your social security number is. The funny thing is, my SSN was deemed completely uninteresting because "we could not find any accounts with any money in them". Seriously, though, one has to wonder if a site like this could be used in phishing. How interesting is your credit card number? How interesting is your drivers license number? How interesting is your social security number, etc. I'd be willing to bet people will willingly input all those numbers...at will.

    Sure, that's a reference to the page being featured on Digg.com. Not sure if it actually has been, haven't checked. But if it has, it wouldn't be the first time Slashdot and Digg post the same stories.

    And you do realise that you failed to understand a simple sentence? He didn't say "It's not that nerdy", but "It's not that it's not nerdy", which is quite a difference...
