Thursday
The Samizdata.net server was a bit grumpy earlier today but the good folks at Hosting Matters have opened it up, removed some dead mice from the treadmill, replaced them with new fresh ones and all is now well again.
This would be why Harry Hutton is still after 300 lbs of white mice?

This is what happens when you employ cheap Islamic immigrant mice - come Ramadan they starve themselves all day, your productivity drops sharply and then the rodents go out and riot all night.
May I suggest you employ good salt-of-the-earth English dormice instead?

If they want to improve their server uptime, they should be investing in the Methuselah Mouse Project;

James, by Jove it could revolutionise server reliability!

They should be using Palestinian children in the treadmills, just like the eeeeevil Joooos do in Israel.

Damn skippy. And just think, we'd all still be around to enjoy the benefits :)

If one year of human time is equal to 4 years of computer time...how many years is that in mouse time?

Depends on how many times you beat the mouse against the mouse pad.

Mouses have pads? Do they hang psychodelic posters and invite cool mouse chicks over to ... nevermind.
