Ever hear of the "Slashdot effect?" When a link makes it to the front
page of a popular website like slashdot.org , the web server of the
relevant page has a tendancy to start combusting into a huge puff of
vaporized silicon :-) They can take down a website in minutes... I was
surprised that all those videos didn't take down the server earlier.
