Kill our servers? No. Vaporize our servers into a fine quantam mist? Certainly. :) Would it be thoroughly impossible to stick on another (hackish) low-overhead layer that did nothing if the referrer was not Slashdot, but otherwise would redirect to a specially cached version of the page? Would it be possible to intercept Slashdot to a temporary quick hi-welcome-slashdotters-give-us-money page before forwarding the user on to the real article (automatically or via a link)?
