Speaking of slashdot trolls, I found this:

"my fp program is written in ruby.  i tried to keep it extremely
hierarchal and object-oriented.  the proxies are stored in mysql tables,
and the application is multithreaded. it uses the light-mode urls,
which, although horrible, are, i believe, the most efficient way to get
data out of slashdot about the stories. if you know differently, i would
certainly like to hear it."
