  • Do you ever worry about getting slashdotted (dugg, etc) and ending up with a huge bandwidth bill?

    • No. I worry a little bit about getting slashdotted and hacked. Or vandalized. But mainly, I don't worry about getting slashdotted, because I'm not producing anything of that kind of interest. :)
