Intentional pun, perhaps? Won ton instead of wanton - very apropos! :)

Yeah, one ton of people noticed it before you... :)

Just cut those damn fiber cables, let's see how much it will impact their drugged economy... Woops, no way, every president of a certain nation sold their public debt to them..

Filthy git, whoever's doing this.

Looks like the Chinese don't like Stackoverflow either.

That's just their april's fools thingy I think, seems to be generating A LOT of network activity for some reason.

So much that it's been unreachable for 15 mins? Hehe... that's a good prank indeed.

Heard about the attack a few days ago when I was trying to push my code to github but it wouldn't go through, made me suspicious because GitHub hasn't really ever had trouble connecting before. I was extremely annoyed to read that they were being DDoS'd. Luckily though, I tried a few minutes later and the commit got through. Still pretty annoying, and I don't even want to begin to imagine the chaos at GitHub HQ as they tried to figure out how to deal with it all. Constantly makes me think about how the internet could really use a redesign based off of modern security techniques but at the same time reminds me that something like that won't happen any time soon.
