1. Having qualities traditionally attributed to a prober, someone who probes.
2. Belonging to or befitting a prober. See synonyms at probe. - ilkeryoldas, on 10/18/2007, -2/+8Someone hire that guy
- munkyxtc, on 10/17/2007, -1/+6Anyone have a mirror? This page has been dead pretty much since it showed up here yesterday. No idea how this got to the front page.

- jer2eydevil88, on 10/19/2007, -0/+2Check the site out when it comes back up, its actually pretty neat and useful if you like wasting time browsing the web. Plus when is open sourcing something a bad thing?
- tactless, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2Who the hell uses SQLite for a website he posts on digg??? The freaking article says that it has very poor concurrent performance. SQLite is useful most for single-user desktop applications or for learning basic SQL-oriented programming, not for production, high-traffic websites!

- pkrumins, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1Thanks for mirroring the page!

- jer2eydevil88, on 10/17/2007, -1/+2The server ZigZap set him up with is using WHM/Cpanel which is not configured to handle all this traffic out of the box. Peteris (who has done all the programming on this site) is understandably busy working on a solution to the problem as we speak.
Expect to see picurls hit Digg again once he gets the bugs worked out with apache.
To join the discussion you can visit the channel on irc.freenode.net #catonmat or you can use the forums http://catonmat.zigzap.com - Keyframe3D, on 10/17/2007, -2/+3what is picurl?
- digital11, on 10/18/2007, -2/+3Hmm, methinks he made a piss-poor architecture choice for his backend considering how awfully the site is running right now. Shame.
(I run a dynamic site that gets 2million+ pageviews a day, so yes, I'm moderately qualified to make this statement) - jer2eydevil88, on 10/17/2007, -1/+1Download the source code

- stpeck, on 10/17/2007, -3/+3I found about picurls.com yesterday and I have actually been trying to install it on my server!
I found a thread on picurls formums on how to get it installed:
http://forums.zigzap.com/showthread.php?t=4395 - suxmonkey, on 10/17/2007, -2/+2Nooo kidding. He has mad skills ... and has been written up on sites like Mashable and Techcrunch.
- pkrumins, on 10/21/2007, -1/+1It does poor concurrency if the database is heavily read/write loaded. In my case it's more than 99.5% reads. So it performs perfectly.

- suxmonkey, on 10/17/2007, -2/+1Yup, PICURLS was briefly on Digg yesterday but then it crashed ... really too bad, I think a lot of Diggers would be interested both in the site and the source code. The creator is both very gifted and generous and has made something quite innovative with PICURLS
- oduska, on 10/17/2007, -1/+0Yes... let's all say "Thanks!" by crashing his server.
- jer2eydevil88, on 10/18/2007, -3/+1What the hell is proberly? Did you mean Properly? or Probably?
- ryborg, on 10/25/2007, -3/+1Big woop! Why is this front page stuff?
You guys sure love to brown nose each other -- Digg me Down I'm ready! - noahw, on 10/17/2007, -4/+1Interesting
http://www.echopic.com this could be used as another alternative. - fLUx1337, on 10/17/2007, -6/+1When commenting on a pic, it asks you 'To prevent comment spam, what is "1 + 1" (answer is 2)'
Now, please tell me how this would stop a script from posting comment spam?? #1 you could extract the sum ("1+1"), or #2 just preg match the answer...
Proberly just something he forgot to change after testing, but everyone knows that wouldn't stop a fly!
Nice site though, proberly won't use it, Digg has everything I need...
