Twitter Offline Due To DDoS

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hate-when-that-happens dept.

The elusive Precision dropped a submission in my lap about a DDoS taking down Twitter running on CNet. It's been down for several hours, no doubt wreaking havoc on the latest hawtness in social networking. Won't someone please think of the tweeters? Word is that both Facebook & LiveJournal have been having problems this AM as well.

    RTFA stands for "Ream that Fucking ASS". I think it has something to do with back in the early days of Linux, a lot of the early adopters were gay or extremely sexually deprived. They did not have the social skills or the time and commitment to establish a heterosexual relationship and most were in denial of the reasons why. Most blamed it on Linux itself. Still in denial, most of the initial gay Linux crowd started using Mac's instead. They are still not having heterosexual sex, but at least they are part of a much "cooler" culture now and fit in a little more than they did before.
