- mkramlich 16y agomeh. Everybody crashes, eventually. Software/hardware is just too complex, with too many cooks in the kitchen, evolving too fast, with too many unknowns. That quote from Mark's character in the movie Social Network was more of an ideal/goal statement rather than fact or hard requirement. Overall I think Facebook has had great availability/performance considering how many active users they have.
