Help Slashdot Test Our New Data Center

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it-seems-like-only-yesterday dept.

After many years of living in California, Slashdot is preparing to move to a new data center in Chicago, and we need your help. We have our new site running a dump of our database from a few days ago. You can hit it at beta.slashdot.org. Please go there, post comments, submit stories, and do whatever you do normally. Or maybe abnormally — run crawlers, write poll spamming robots or something. If you find any crazy issues, please submit them to our sourceforge tracker. If you're curious, the new system features 18 2x quad-core 2.3 GHz webservers each with 8 gigs of RAM, and 4 quad-core 2.3 GHz databases with 16 gigs of RAM.

      Oh, and the mods are fascists for keeping the anonymous cowards down!

    Jon Katz was a prohpet!!!!

    If you were a disenchanted youth, he was your mouth piece!!!

    Just cause he always wanted us to sit on his lap while he told us stories, and play find the candy, it was a small price for his insight.

    exactly how far are we allowed to go here?

    ok, I have £100 for the first person to replace the front page with an infinite goatse zoom, and I promise that :-)

    Does that make me the mafia, or just drunk?
