For those who understand this placard, Congratulations - your geekocity has been confirmed.
For those who don’t understand this sign, enclosing certain statements inside of
</ > is how you close a block of html code. For instance, </body> would be read End Body, closing the body of your page’s code. So the sign above would be read . . .
Zounds!! Retribution in action.
Yesterday I posted a notice about John McCain’s MySpace page having been pranked by one of the founders of NewsVine.com because McCain’s MySpace page was using server bandwidth that was not theirs (aka stealing).
Today on surfing about, found this notice on NewsVine.com:
Dear Newsvine Users,
We are currently experiencing a possible Distributed Denial of Service Attack (DDOS), possibly in connection with the John McCain MySpace prank on Monday. We do not suspect the McCain camp has anything to do with this, and Newsvine will be back in service as soon as things are under control. Hopefully within minutes.
Apologies for the outage,
The Newsvine Team
