I'd expect the percentage reduced to be much lower than that, since images isn't cached by google (Which I'd expect to account for most of the traffic).
Apparently you just did a quicksearch, the words "Hello World" is actually in the content itself, slashdot just threw a space in there, so it's "Hel lo World".
If Ian Clarke claims it is anything but research, then people will start to see it in a whole new light, perhaps claiming Ian (and other developers) be held resposible for its use.
Let's hope they don't wind up the way Sierra did (Once a company with quality releases, now a crappy-publisher-house).
What happened to them AFAIK was pretty much the same. - Key developers (Al Lowe, Roberta Williams, etc.) from Sierra left the company (or put on crappy games).
The death of Sierra as a game-developer pretty much meant the end of adventure games as a mainstream-genre... It's hard to think of the same happening to the RTS (Real Time Strategy) genre, but then again if someone told me X years ago, that the adventuregames genre would be dead now, I would have laughed.
I learned my wonder-charm from Larry[1], my elegance from Roger Wilco[2], that monsters dissapear if you go through a door and back again by Sir Graham [3], and that it's okay to drive through red lights as long as you have the sirens on by Sonny Bonds[4].

What I see happening most of the times, is that advanced users have a kind of "private social club", then a lot of newbies arrives, asking questions that don't really interest the more advanced users.
It usually ends up with arguing about it, then a FAQ is made, no one reads it, then the more advanced users leave... And after a while the group isn't useful for anything else than simple answers anymore, because the persons with the skill to answer them are gone.
Have anyone made a plugin for eg. PHP for Eclipse?
And is it easy to switch (I develop both Java and PHP).
What advantages would it give a developer not developing Java full time?
But then the only way the actual spammer would be sending from your server is if you have an open relay?
So the idea would be to set up false open relays?
But wouldn't the spammer just black/whitelist the servers?
The place where I work once got hit by a spammer, (because we used some matt formmail script), it all happened automatic in steps:
- Some webspider found out about the formmail.cgi
- The spider sends a mail to some hotmail account
- 15 minutes later (I guess after confirming the mail got through) it started sending mails non-stop.
- 30 minutes later, we could see some other type of traffic (The bot apparently sent out mails about the open relay to other spammers (possible persons who bought access to the open relays?)).
All the while we were on the phone with the police computer-crime department, which didn't know what to do.
Then we denied those users access to the network and patched up the security breach (We were waiting to do that, while talking to the police, in the hope that they could actually do something, since the spammer were spamming "right now"... But apparently they were quite clueless).
That would still hurt the spammer alot, since it would take waaay more time for him to send all the spam, instead of just doing it through one big bulb.
But what if the spammer sends a message to a (good) SMTP server which haven't got the system, and the SMTP server in turn tries to deliver the "spammail" to the right SMTP server, won't that hurt the good SMTP server, who just tries to do it's job?

I'm using the Danish ADSL provider CyberCity, i have 3072 kb/s downstream / 768 kb/s upstream for about 150$/mo.
I think the smallest ADSL package is 256/128 and costs about 50$/mo.

Maybe he just seeks to avoid those conflicts?

Try clicking "Texture Mapping" on this link (The other examples are nice too).

I've got a website I wrote, some time ago, which is written 99% in JavaScript (and DOM). See it here: Urgent.
If anyone's interested, there's the link to my JavaScript TreeView (Open Source!) in my signature, so go ahead and try it out</advertising>.
Here in Denmark, it has become illegal for shops to have anything except region 2 (Europe region) DVD's. :-(
Well... My guess is that they'd be happy with a bit buggy browser at first, which can then be approved upon.
I can never forgive StarCraft for taking away several years of my life!
(I'm off to play a game of 2v2 Lost Temple!)
I was basically raised by Sierra's * Quest games.

Well... I can't see it (I get a 403 on all the images).
Pretty classy look. If I ever made a XBox mod, I'd probably end up making something really unique, like making it look like a toaster.
So people, please take a number. One at a time, don't slashdot all at once.
Guess I'll have to find another excuse for my boss, rather than "The reason I was late was because of heavy traffic".
