I did say it was for the Screensavers on Techtv they wanted max out their Gmail account 1gig :shock: they actually overloaded the servers and shut down the system so I guess they were successful.

hahaha so they were able to crash gmail's system.

i kinda miss techtv. we used to have that on cable here. don't know what happened because we don't get it anymore.

they got bought by Comcast and merged with G4 gaming network and they killed off shows like Tech Live and Call For Help! :cry: It sucks ass they weeded out Leo Laporte aswell and they are closing the San Francisco studios and moving everybody to LA at the end of this week they even created a new channel for Canada WTF? why not just have it the same like they used to do for the whole damn world? Atleast Call for Help is coming back for those in Canada with Leo Laporte and they are in negotiations for the US.

i read that but i meant like what did the want to make by overloading it, or what was the point

to see what they would say when someone actually got to 1gig of Email but in the proccess they killed the servers. they said they would update the final amount on the next show. I just think that's funny as hell because it is still in Beta form and they were saying there were probably guys on the other end freaking out and wondering what the hell was going on.

haha
tsll us when they update that, cause its not supposed to crash right... yea they musthave been really

[T-Bird]

it's supposed to be one of the stablest once it is released to the public but their excuse was atleast now they know what the servers can handle right? It is the most storage for an Email client though and that was the idea at first just to see what they said once it was reached but then they created more problems. they usually crash whatever site they mention that day within minutes and they say they get Email form webhosts all the time thanking and scolding them in the same letter, They said they want to try to crash the other hosts too just to see which is the best, I say they should try it on Microsoft.
