Zero Hedge Information Technology Workers Announce Go-Slow Strike
Zero Hedge Information Technologists, Nuclear Isotope Transportation, Lockpicking & Costume Shop Amalgamated, Local 5134-1 has announced a go-slow strike effective immediately. Zero Hedge IT workers will don "Che" t-shirts and randomly unplug Cat-5 cables from the main Zero Hedge servers during high server load in protest of Germany's refusal to provide the data center with additional server hardware and cover the $23 billion in unfunded pension liabilities accrued during Larry Summers' tenure as Chief Investment Officer for ZHITNITLCSAERS. Readers can expect to experience sporadic outages to service generally lasting no more than 30-45 seconds.
Or maybe this Greek-Hun bond battle and the unquenchable lust Zero Hedge readers have for more... more... MORE... has simply spiked traffic to such insane levels that we keep hitting our throttling limits (you guys had it up to peak rates of 3,000 hits per minute at one point).

Yay! Marla! :)
Marla, Welcome back, I miss your beautiful sense of humor
Antigua. Curacao after October.
Marla!
Good to see Marla back! :-)
Was going to say something cute about ipad & week
but thought the better of it.. :-))
ZH workin hard to give the people what they crave
And selling lots of ads too, I'm sure you'll get the servers you need!
Click on some of those ads once in a while on slower days. You don't even need to look, mush less read. Just generate hits so Marla can drive up revenue. She'll probably get more banks (server) before a raise.
Feed me Seymour! Feed me!

Use a condom. You don't know where they've been.

Marla and Tylers,
Thank you for your articles. They are root meaning of incredible at times because people in real life never know what I am talking about. Which is why I always come back. I would donate but I am off the grid.
Good luck when the blackouts begin,
WaterWings

"Or maybe this Greek-Hun bond battle and the unquenchable lust Zero Hedge readers have for more... more... MORE... has simply spiked traffic to such insane levels that we keep hitting our throttling limits."
Guilty as charged!
ZeroHedge is addictive.
I'll do my part and stop hitting "refresh" every 10 seconds.
We made your server work really hard. We're slavedrivers.
"(you guys had it up to peak rates of 3,000 hits per minute at one point)."
Sounds like a nasty case of manic masturbation to me but what do I know, other than myself.
In fact, I know myself so well you could say I have things firmly in hand. :>)
Put down Hank Paulson's book and step away slowly.
heh heh, she said "throttling limits".
Means she's ready to throttle somebody, only TD has put limits on who she can maim.
It's tough sometimes being the foil.
Who run barter town? Embargo!
Dude, you forgot the link. You gotta show your cultural brilliance. :>)

ZH, you have a high-class problem! Congrats.
Sounds orgasmic.
Full thrust Marla.
Who needs steak? ZH has the schnizzle!
Viva la rev! Welcome back Marla :)
I've rubbed a hole in my mouse...again.
Must have been all the spyware in my workstation scanning the zh site
Pulled Cat 5's don't give Drupal errors!

And the reason we peak the hits is because we want to be the first to know, not the last.
its not just the articles that are so fantastic...its the comments that are so mean..so smart...so witty...so unoffensively sexual and hilarious...thank you zh!
ZH is the anti-christ
Geez Marla,
We're gonna have to keep you up all night long.
Just disable the network interface on the server, that way, you don't have to get out of the chair. No self respecting IT folk would stoop to such manual task, but you better turn it back on when robo post the lady pics this afternoon!

....as I was explaining to Lothar, Marla deserves a break! We were just up all. night. long. waiting for your arrival, here, there, and anywhere we could read your STUFF! You were so missed love, thanks for covering our ASSES!
Someone, perhaps the Chinese, is hitting on you Marla. Is this foul play?
welcome back marla.
Goldman has a splicer on their high frequency trading computers that peroidically stops betting against their clients and tries to take care of the enemy.Be careful, the squid has many hands!
Welcome back Marla! Buy a made in America Che shirt... I'm pretty sure you've never owned one before :)
Buy some Cat-6 cables. That might help. They're cheap.
SWEET! I'm going on unemployment strike... I'm gunna get up and do something...sporadically, lasting no more than 30-45 seconds...
liar
Well if the system wasn't also running 65 online porn sites it might help! JK BTW
I've been having the same kind of problem today with financialsense.com.
Maybe I'll just chuck it and put on some Thinking Fellers Union Local 282.

Hey Local 5134-1
Rosenberg says there is no way GDP could be 5.7% without (among other things... <cough> fraudulent data <cough>...) outlandishly inflated double digit productivity gains...
Now, how are we suppose to keep GDP at 5.7% if you guys are dicking?
I realize that the Chinese officials have shut down Black Hawk Safety Net, but do you think you could have any heike (black visitors) experimenting with ZH's bandwidth?
Robo must have posted more hot chick pics...er,uh...I mean..uh..cutting edge..uh charts...and...stuff....
(eh-herm)
who's Marla?
"who's Marla?"
When you are standing there holding your coffee cup and cracking plaster debris is falling into your coffee from the ceiling...
Marla is the chick getting her skull thumped into the head board upstairs...
I haven't been fucked like that since grade school.
Bammed!
When Tyler gave you the side ways look on that comment, I expected him to ask:
"How's that working for you?"
She's the one... " in your cave, optimizing your database."
I've never experienced throttle limits but I get emails offering to restore and enhance them.
Marla !!!! "we" kind of miss your writings. Is there a way to stalk your essays and creations, web_wise?
I know, i know.. shorting the Greece and other potential candidates takes all of your attention those days, still please do not forget your loyal fans. (if possible )
Missed you, Marla.
Some strategically placed 10Mbit hubs ought to do the trick. The collisions alone will bring them to their Hun knees

Yea its getting hard to keep up ith all this tomfoolery.
Peak rates of 3000/hits per minute.
Yes, I remember when I was 22 as well.
HEH

Perma-ban Cetin "I am Ned" Hakimoglu and all the various IP addresses he uses to post from. That should clear up some bandwidth.
Welcome back Marla !
Interesting comments on bandwidth. In general, the ISP's also relied on easy money for growth this last decade. Now, with subscriptions falling, ad revenues plummeting (banner ads DON'T return advertisers per customer acquisition targets) the ISP's have little choice but to cut staff and reduce services.
In NE, we have a local version of Comcast. The Internet service used to allow multiple connections using a wireless router. Now, the PSP is on can't use the PC and vice-versa.
On weekends, 75% of the time Internet doesn't work at all. When you howl to their tech support you get full bandwidth for about a month and back to the howling stage. Their are no real other choices in my local area for cable and Fairpoint DSL is even worse...
Danke Fraulein Marla!
Marla was in Athens organizing the public union strikes.
I recall the grade school comment from your interview a while back....funniest damn thing I have ever read.
It is nice to see you again Marla. Thank you for all you do!
That's what happens when you are good, word travels fast.
''The New World Order Machine'' just does not produce good info like here at the Hedge. Case you have not realized it yet, you are of the best around. Thats saying something, considering all of history up to this point.
This site is a tool for me personally, to bare witness and awaken people to the prophetic word of God in Christ which defines the generation that would see Israel restored as a nation and the rise of a corrupt global economic system of debt no one can legally buy sell or trade outside of. The earthquakes, title waves, signs in the stars etc... are just gravy.
Zero Hedge is a blessing. In the name of God in Christ, this site will reach all that seek it out. The revelations offered by Zero Hedge and it's passionate ''comment'' posters is just too inviting. Zero Hedge will receive power, it has too big of fans.
See you on the streets...
