Netcraft confirms it: I, for one, welcome our Hacker News overlord, CmdrTaco who sometimes dwelves in these part of the interweb. He's got a beowulf cluster of hot grits that Nathalie Portman would approve of. ;)

    > Roland Piquepaille Wow! I haven't heard that name in nearly 20 years, but the instant I saw it I had a negative reaction. I didn't even know why at first until I read the rest of your sentence.

    I forget, is this the persona responsible for that "voices from the hellmouth" series? the one that, retrospectively, coincides with my /. usage starting to slope negative.

      omg, voices from the hellmouth was sooo cringe. Who was that? typetypetype oook, JonKatz, and it lives on (tl;dr for my post here, there was a segment of the slashdot population who really identified with the Columbine shooters, the trench-coat mafia, i guess in terms of being picked on at school by the popular kids or something? it was sort of like "of course Columbine, what did you expect from those of us living at the hell-mouth you've created for us" If I have any of that wrong it's because I couldn't stand reading any of it in the first place) https://news.slashdot.org/story/99/04/25/1438249/voices-from-the-hellmouth https://news.slashdot.org/story/99/04/25/1438249/voices-from... https://news.slashdot.org/story/00/04/20/1117204/Voices-from-the-Hellmouth-Released-in-Paperback https://news.slashdot.org/story/00/04/20/1117204/Voices-from... https://features.slashdot.org/story/00/10/23/1521250/voices-from-the-hellmouth-revisited-part-1 https://features.slashdot.org/story/00/10/23/1521250/voices-... https://www.linuxtoday.com/developer/bw-voices-from-the-hellmouth-jon-katz-book-examining-geek-culture-one-year-after-columbine/ https://www.linuxtoday.com/developer/bw-voices-from-the-hell...

you did way better than you know who: "While trying to be First Post on a Beowulf cluster article, my site got Slashdotted just as I poured hot grits down my pants. 'You must be new here,' commented CowboyNeal, who, in Soviet Russia, welcomes our new overlords. Now I'm just waiting for step '???' before I hit Profit! Surely that's worth +5, Funny?"

Give me a sec - just trying to hide a link to a, er, goat-related website in a comment and pretending it's related to the story.

I wonder if APK could drop in and tell us about blocking ads using the mysterious magic of the hosts file.

  Or if The Glorious MEEPT!! could show up and smack us with some scathing satirical commentary on Linux fans.
