- askantik, on 11/21/2008, -0/+12Because according to half of the USA, these are the types of things that horrifying socialist democracies do. They use our tax dollars to you know, do useful *****, instead of bailing out our ***** companies that have no responsibility or wasting our money on two wars that aren't getting us anywhere. AMERICA FTW! WE SPEND MORE MONEY AND GET NOTHING DONE. w00t
- glenSM, on 11/21/2008, -0/+12Aweosme but the site is down, 10 million hits per hour wow
- 01010110, on 11/21/2008, -0/+9This is what the internet was really meant for, massive valuable information sharing.. (and lolcats, porn, torrents)
- GammaStream, on 11/21/2008, -0/+910 million hits an hour last night.
- theradical, on 11/21/2008, -0/+9Apparently they didn't think anyone would be interested so didn't bother to get decent hosting.
- mmijatov, on 11/21/2008, -1/+9This certainly sounds like what the internet would've been like in Star Trek.
- wittylama, on 11/21/2008, -0/+8So popular it crashed the site - no digg effect required.
- NicoNicoNico, on 11/22/2008, -0/+4Is it just me, or does Google always do awesome things. I really, really want to work there. Never going to happen, but it's a nice dream.
- amdlinux, on 11/21/2008, -1/+5Interesting: They are running Apache 2.2.3 on Debian Linux on their webservers:
"Service Temporarily Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) mod_jk/1.2.18 Server at www.europeana.eu Port 80" - tyfoster, on 11/21/2008, -3/+6I dont' see this ever coming to the U.S........ever
- cyrusuncc, on 11/21/2008, -3/+5They had the site hosted at Geocities
- frieddonuts, on 11/21/2008, -1/+3"Beam me a book, Scotty."
- JesseJ, on 11/22/2008, -0/+2I really hope it's like those CNN & NBC etc ones that says 'Sorry. For US citizens only." But the other way around.
- LaurencePike, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2They've taken to project down due to the server crash. Apparently reopening mid-December
- Stonekeeper, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1oh goody! Lets hope they use silverlight!!!
- XZanatos, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1That is... nice. I wasn't replying to you, I was replying to the thread poster 'tyfoster'. If I had a comment for your point I would have replied to your thread. Cheerio.
- Narrwald, on 11/21/2008, -1/+2Google is already working on it.
http://www.umich.edu/news/?Releases/2004/Dec04/lib ... - ZeroCubed, on 11/21/2008, -1/+2Haha, oh man it's down. Hey, since Lord of the Rings and the Hitchhiker's series are British, are they included in the site? That'd be awesome - I wouldn't have to carry my book around anymore!
- michaeljung, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1The site says it will be back by mid-december.
Obviously some guys up there underestimated the word-of-mouth / social networks and recommendation engines. Or just forgot to 'scale'.
Scaling should be the word of the year for the internet. - troye, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1I hope it's available in the US.
- NicoNicoNico, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1That is wonderful. We can only hope it gets used that often all the time.
- MisterEThoughts, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1This is great! Keep this going...
- XZanatos, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1Actually there are several amazing online places of great knowledge based in the USA. MIT Online for one, Project Gutenberg, Google Books. Then there is always illegal-still-copyrighted e-books easily downloadable. You could easily get about 20,000+ in a day or so.
Just look around will ya. - askantik, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1And how many of those are run by the government? Uh, none. That's my point-- to get something useful like this done in America, the citizens have to do it.
- NicoNicoNico, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1Mid-December? That sucks. Very much so.
- Narrwald, on 11/21/2008, -1/+1Google is working on it here, too.
http://www.umich.edu/news/?Releases/2004/Dec04/lib ... - loly5, on 11/21/2008, -0/+0It seems a good idea! i wanted to know how it is possible to have access on it?
- jarcaf, on 11/21/2008, -0/+0Anyone have a mirror? ;)
- brickbat, on 11/21/2008, -2/+1Digg effect on steroids. Pussies.
- CylonsOfTheLamb, on 11/21/2008, -7/+1sounds like Obama with his crack pipe.
