You've got to quit skiing Summit County and Vail if you want to avoid the crowds on the hills in Colorado. [I skied Mary Jane yesterday and only about every fourth chair had butts in it

I live in Colorado and all of my boxes are named after some of the more obscure Colorado peak names. There's hundreds upon hundreds of them.

I think we would all be surprised to learn of the HIGH number of low income homes that have cable or satellite TV.
Submission + - World Series Ticket Sales Crash Servers
zummit writes: It appears the Colorado Rockies didn't plan very well for the onslaught of fans wanting tickets to their first trip to the World Series. As this Denver Post article states, Planning could've prevented ticket 'pileup'. The Rockies claim a "malicious, external attack" on the ticket sales system. In addition to the system crash, the Rockies appeared to have blocked some users from accessing the site, due to suspicious activity. The team probably determined that sort of behavior by tracking the number of attempts purchasers made from a single Internet address.
Of course, this disssapointed many fans — Fuming fans strike out. The online ticket provider to the Rockies is a company called Paciolan and Netcraft's latest report shows their corporate site was running Microsoft-IIS on Windows 2000 when last queried at 22-Oct-2007, but attempts to query their ticketing servers — evenue.net yield no success.
Will things go better for the Rockies today at noon when tickets go onsale again or will they again experience the slashdot effect, thus leaving thousands of baseball fans wondering how they can get tickets? Of course, if YOU can get tickets, I'll be more than happy to pay face value. ;-)
