Message of the hour from userlame.com:
The Schwine-Kitzenger Institute study of 47 men over the age of 100
showed that all had these things in common:
(1) They all had moderate appetites.
(2) They all came from middle class homes
(3) All but two of them were dead.

This is the main site board. This board has all the front page posts and any threads found interesting enough to be bumped up to here.

General userlame.com site news and stuffs. If you have any questions about the site or need help navigation or have anything to say about the site at all...put it in here.
Yipes. I'm rather displeased with
the hosting provider [vpslink.com] for the server running userlame.com. I've had issues with them in the past, but nothing that bothered me terribly; until today.
The server went down at about 23:35 GMT, and I submitted a ticket with them immediately.
An hour later (!!!), I finally got a response saying (paraphrased) "Sent your issue to our sysadmins...we'll let you know when it's fixed."
Two more hours passed with no word (!!!), and I requested an update on the issue.
Yet another hour passed (!!!) before a sysadmin finally wrote back. I was told there was an issue with the hardware node running this server (it's a xen VM). And that was it. End of story, ticket closed. No explanation of the hardware issue, not a hint of why it took 4 freaking hours to get the machine back up.
The site will be moving to a different server within the next few days. This server will be demoted to secondary and less important services.
If anyone was disturbed by the downtime (ha!), my apologies.

Your general technology board. This is where you can be as cool as all the other "geeks." Post about any kind of tech here. Software, hardware, programming, gadgets, whatever. If you have any kind of tech question post here and I'll do my best to help.
Ruh roh. Looks like
all [slashdot.org] of [sourceforge.net] OSDN [freshmeat.net] is down.
Again [userlame.com].
What's going on over there guys? Have I just not noticed unreliability with these sites before or is this a new trend?
Also, it's kinda funny that the last two times I've felt the need to post front-page crap on this site (spaced well apart), have been about this same thing.

The general post-whatever-the-hell-you-want board. This is where all the threads go that don't fit anywhere else. Spill your mindless drivel here.
I would like a law which generally states:
1) ISPs may sell bandwidth only up to 120% of capacity, and may not limit customers' bandwidth below advertised rates.
2) ISPs may not omit, delay, inspect, or transform any customers' packets to the best ability of industry standard technologies.
The end. No traffic shaping allowed. No rate limiting. No port filtering. Nothing. I want ISPs forced to provide internet service.
And I'm usually against ANY new laws.

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT SOME STUFF! Post and discuss here about any kind of current events you like.
By a picture on their website [bradblog.com]!
Haaahahahaha. You posted a
close-up picture of the
real key?! Haaaaaaaaahahahahahaha.
Edit: apparently I didn't read this (the date specifically) too closely. Old news, but still new to me and made me laugh.
Done!
Did I win?
I bet the time on the site will show it took like 2 seconds.
...really it took about 5.
