Ada laporan dari salah seorang pengguna bahwa beliau tidak bisa mengakses http://linux.slashdot.org. Ternyata, IP proxy di-ban oleh admin slashdot, karena adanya aktifitas yang "kurang menyenangkan". Inilah tanggapan dari slashdot mengenai hal ini:
This ip was banned back in Oct. for hitting us a little over 2k times in an hour. It looks like someone was using an Opera addon (probably speed dial) that went a little out of control. I don't have logs that far back, just a note on why it is banned. If you can keep an eye on things and hopefully address this sooner if it happens again I can unban you.
Kami harap para pengguna internet dapat senantiasa menjaga "kesopanan" agar jaringan kita tidak terus-terusan diblok dari mana-mana, hingga akhirnya kita akan terpenjara dalam rumah rumah sendiri. Terimakasih.

Fortune Says
Well, anyway, I was reading this James Bond book, and right away I realized that like most books, it had too many words. The plot was the same one that all James Bond books have: An evil person tries to blow up the world, but James Bond kills him and his henchmen and makes love to several attractive women. There, that's it: 24 words. But the guy who wrote the book took *thousands* of words to say it. Or consider "The Brothers Karamazov", by the famous Russian alcoholic Fyodor Dostoyevsky. It's about these two brothers who kill their father. Or maybe only one of them kills the father. It's impossible to tell because what they mostly do is talk for nearly a thousand pages. If all Russians talk as much as the Karamazovs did, I don't see how they found time to become a major world power. I'm told that Dostoyevsky wrote "The Brothers Karamazov" to raise the question of whether there is a God. So why didn't he just come right out and say: "Is there a God? It sure beats the heck out of me." Other famous works could easily have been summarized in a few words: * "Moby Dick" -- Don't mess around with large whales because they symbolize nature and will kill you. * "A Tale of Two Cities" -- French people are crazy. -- Dave Barry
