This is old news (2013-08-27) even by Slashdot's standards. Forums that were vulnerable have been probably all hacked (then fixed) already ;)

next, the golden shower ...

What's with the current trolling wave on Slashdot? At least they could sign, like the GNAA did.

Just to disturb the dyslexics out there :)

Kudos to them! Will it be powered by the new italian "cold fusion" device also seen on Slashdot today ? :)

Try FF3 or 4 on a computer like I have at work (Windows XP, 2GB) and you will surely change your it-works-for-me-you-ignorant mindset. With FF you are *always* running out of RAM. If only there were *good* NoScript and AdBlock clones elsewhere ...

With HTTP streaming you can rely on a pool of beefy reverse proxies like Varnish or Nginx to handle the load, or let the CDN handle it as any normal HTTP traffic.

HTTP is relatively common and relatively easy to handle/debug. I'd prefer not having to study another protocol ;)

Now, the interesting stuff is to provide Apple's HTTP streaming, MS' Smooth streaming and any other HTTP, chunk-based protocol from the same, unchunked video file using a webserver plugin to do the chunking on the fly. I know about the Unified Streaming Platform, but there doesn't seem to be many players in that field right now ;)

Japan ? Check.
Nuclear stuff ? Check.

dstat is certainly fancy but doesn't provide more than iostat (from sysstat package), that is per-disk (or even partitions and NFS mounts) I/O activity.

iotop would bring *per thread* I/O activity, which can be a very useful tool sometimes.

I heard this used to be the way in Soviet Russia ...

Hi, my ID is lower than 2^16. Oddly I never changed my email address from that time, so it's invalid for a long time now.
