- dfltr, on 11/21/2008, -14/+101NERDS!
- silicagrrl, on 11/21/2008, -2/+72I like how the Digg DBA team is composed of guys with pseudonyms. "Timeless" and "Driver." Are they trying to keep the corporate recruiters from stealing away the Digg DB talent, or are they just too embarassed to have people recognise them at Silicon Valley parties? "DBA? Eeeww!"
Only time will tell. - inactive, on 11/22/2008, -1/+63Similarly, he assisted with the sun rise this morning.

- inactive, on 11/22/2008, -0/+51Here's how Obama did it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4RRi_ntQc8 - lorductape, on 11/22/2008, -1/+36man, obama is just such a nice guy :P even taking time out of his busy schedule on election night to fix digg.com!
the country is MUCH better off :D - Bravedude, on 11/22/2008, -3/+26What does not kill Digg, makes it stronger...
- rdvon, on 11/22/2008, -3/+24Kind of a stretch... and didn't the Digg community help digg fix codes? I mean... we dugg obama after all. :(
- brettalton, on 11/22/2008, -1/+21Q: "What would be the most efficient way to sort one million 32-bit integers?"
Obama: "Well, I think the bubble sort would be the wrong way to go."
Bush: "Ship em off to China! Those little buggers are fast!" - credential101, on 11/22/2008, -7/+26Ron Paul could have done it better.
- GawtMilk, on 11/22/2008, -0/+15Fruit flies like a banana.
- trammell, on 11/21/2008, -4/+19All these shapes are so jagged. I know you DBAs aren't the design-y types, but if you can't draw a straight line, just buy a ruler. Geez.
- trotskyist, on 11/22/2008, -1/+15That's change I can believe in.
- rocketship47, on 11/21/2008, -0/+14Time will never tell
- j1ggy, on 11/22/2008, -1/+15John McCain kept saying that. It's only AN if the H is silent, which it isn't.
- matterk, on 11/21/2008, -1/+13Dirty Filthy Hipster.
- pointpointclick, on 11/21/2008, -0/+12Time flies like an arrow.
- mnortei, on 11/22/2008, -0/+12"Time is the greatest teacher. Unfortunately it kills all of its students"
- als54, on 11/22/2008, -4/+15I think Digg and some of it's users takes themselves a little too seriously...
- suprememilo, on 11/22/2008, -1/+12Wow more digging than 09: F9
- yepme02, on 11/22/2008, -0/+10Yes most of the time. Go Nerds
- DA13, on 11/22/2008, -1/+11Ya'll people give Obama too much credit! The man has four years before he proves ANYTHING!!! Right now, the American people have proved that we have made a huge social leap forward. Obama, on the other hand, has yet to act on the faith that we've placed upon him to lead our nation!!!
- roijen, on 11/22/2008, -0/+10Pretty sure in American English, or even British English the 'h' is pronounced (but to be fair probably not in a French-English hybrid). As such historic does not start with a vowel sound and therefore a historic is correct.
- RocketGib, on 11/22/2008, -0/+9Awesome, now fix the comment syst... oh wait.
- aguynamedben, on 11/21/2008, -0/+7They say Time will make this all go away, but it's Time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays
- oxymoron69, on 11/22/2008, -0/+7YOU FAIL AT ASCII!
- Charun, on 11/22/2008, -0/+7He's Zend certified.
- Nov0, on 11/22/2008, -0/+6Way to fail at being a grammar Nazi.
- layzice, on 11/22/2008, -0/+5All of us? Really?
- leland1, on 11/22/2008, -0/+5Yes, this was caused by a phenomenon known as the NDBA attack, caused by nerds digging and burying stories at digg.com:
Nerd - Digg - Bury - Attack
The main_write selector connection bug has been fixed. The NDBA attack by nerds has been averted! (darn)
Of course, this doesn't mean that the NDBA attack won't be utilized at some future point in time by nerds. :-) - inactive, on 11/22/2008, -2/+7I heard he has discovered a cure for cancer and will reveal his research sometime during the week after inauguration.
- dfltr, on 11/21/2008, -1/+5two of the guys who dugg matt's comment ride fixies. hmmmmm...
- deadbaby, on 11/22/2008, -0/+4Yep. Big oil, big health care, the military industrial welfare state, polluters, war profiteers, etc. We're going to cause some big problems for them to deal with.
- strictnein, on 11/22/2008, -0/+4We'll have made "a huge social leap forward" when people aren't talking about the results of an election being a "huge social leap forward".
- Treason, on 11/22/2008, -0/+4win
- acroyear2, on 11/22/2008, -0/+4Hate him or love him, it's good to see the earth continue to turn.
- novenator, on 11/22/2008, -2/+6Most of the article was too techno-speak for me, but dugg for the shatner reference...
"Digging was… a bit… unresponsive" - Atomic1fire, on 11/22/2008, -2/+6Obama has not even taken office yet,
These database improvements are under bush's administration.
(Not being a troll/ just pointing out that its not Obama until January 20th) - dustbowl, on 11/22/2008, -0/+3It's always interesting to see how world events affect the Internet and the ability to continue serving information. Is this what we call the Obama Effect?
Its only during those opportune moments that software developers really get to see how well the architecture they've put in place can handle situations like the Obama election.
Anyone remember 9/11? I had heard that CNN had to display basic text only on their website due to the amount of traffic being generated. (YAY for Lynx) - qbthemc, on 11/22/2008, -0/+3Digg has a blog(shocking).
- kingofinternet, on 11/22/2008, -3/+6he truly is the KING of KINGS
- fivo7, on 11/22/2008, -1/+4i like the pretty coloured graphs
- bdfariello, on 11/22/2008, -0/+2http://www.knitwareblog.com/wp-content/uploads/200 ...
- lakai, on 11/22/2008, -0/+2More like Obama helped you keep your job
- Mtbeaver, on 11/22/2008, -1/+3I find it almost crazy that even at the peak of trafic the CPU utilization was only just over 30%...
- BeEnN15, on 11/22/2008, -0/+2"digg", never kissed Obama's ass. The trend towards Obama is a reflection of your colleagues' and friends' interest... the diggers and voters.
- cloudberries, on 11/22/2008, -0/+2No, it would be an istoric.
- czeman, on 11/22/2008, -1/+3I agree with you, DA13, on everything you said except for "we have made a huge social leap forward." Both candidates won votes based solely on the color of their skin. The rest means nothing with that impact.
- maybemable, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1jesus christ. completely irrelevent but anyway... a republican wrote each question, the majority of people polled were in a "black section" of LA, where, while i have to generalise, i'm guessing the chances of being less educated is slightly greater.
I haven't looked at your history but if you're one of those types who dismisses huff post articles because of their origin you can ***** right off now.
