So.. uh.. slashdot?

Every now and then slashdot links to a story on dslreports.. this time around they linked to a very busy and long thread in the forums.. News stories are easy, threads are worse (much more heavy-weight and intensive on servers).. so it bogged down the servers a tad requiring me to balance traffic around and such..

Interesting tidbit.. A large percentage of the hits were IE users.. A very large percentage..

So.. uh.. slashdot users? IE? Come-on guys! So why all the Microsoft bashing?

most of the people on slashdot smart enough to post are linux users... the ones "just smart enough to read and click" are your stampeed of windows users ;)
