Slashdot Posting Bug Infuriates Haggard Admins
Haha. When Slashdot passed the 2^24 (16,777,216) comments threshold, the size was larger than the index of their MySQL table, so now there’s no threading for the next couple of hours. As a post on the site itself says, “It’s true that… ‘Anyone could have made the mistake’. But it’s so much funnier when that anyone is not you.”
