It's like clockwork:
- a scripting.com link get submitted to hackernews
- the first 20 people get to read it
- the site crashes, leaving everyone else with nothing but the comments.
Dave, have you considered upgrading to a 56k modem? :)
- evgen 16y agoIt is a defense-mechanism for HN. The first 20 people get to read it and alternate between facepalm-level "WTF is he thinking" and incredulous "I can't believe he is that dumb, it must be another one of his (many) trolls." The rest of us get to avoid the frustration of actually reading Dave's drivel and can enjoy the pile-on from a distance.
