The fact that someone would target GitHub for a massive DDoS attack makes me sick to the stomach.
It's unfortunately a very normal thing these days.

Which raises the question: when will the rest of the world kick China of the internet? First it was redirecting Chinese internet users to random IPs, if the government didn't like their DNS queries and now they're doing ddos attack on a site that host a large percentage of open source code, used for a whole host of service and products. At some point it's going to make more economical sense to kick China of the inter…
And turn China into North Korea? Think about it: the government wants to cut us off from the rest of the world, that would make them happy, but would PISS a lot of people off. Anyways, if the westerners did it for the Chinese government, the people would be angry at them rather than the government... If you try to complain to China Telecom about not being able to access Facebook, they already blame it Facebook since…
Chinas ability to manufacture and sell hinges critically on internet connectivity. Of all the sanctions that would be effective I think an internet blockade is one of the more practical and effective ones.
So.. Every website running baidu analytics is going to show a warning popup to all visitors, on every page?

The internet is how we maintain dialogue between peoples when our Governments behave like posturing (arse|ass)+holes. The worse a Government behaves the more (not less) internets the country should receive.
"arseassarseholes"?!

> > Which raises the question: when will the rest of the world kick China of the internet? Well, that's exactly what the DDoS wanted, so the government could just happily control all access to Internet in mainland China The DDoS targets github.com/greatfire and github.com/cn-nytimes by their so called "collateral freedom" [1] Suppose github could just ban Chinese IP all together, but @greatfire could easily jump to a…
As a paying customer of Github I want them to know they have my undivided support in staying strong against "the bullies".
I was anticipating the second half of your sentence being something like "they better maintain 100% uptime or I'll be pissed off". Glad it wasn't.
1. Even if this isn't a PRC-ordered or sponsored attack, large parts of their infrastructure are being co-opted. If they aren't criminally involved, they're criminally irresponsible.

Taking your question at face value, some people say "arseholes", some people say "assholes", and some people just say "holes". We can factor out the "holes" to get that some people say "arse", some people say "ass", and some say nothing extra. We get alternation in regular expressions by separating them with a vertical bar, so we have a regular expression: arse | ass That's optional, so we have the regular expression…
