self referring slashdot effekt

The german tech news Heise is known to cause much traffic, similar to the Slashdot effect. It’s called the heise-DoS, which is a slightly more precise description.

Today, they announced a relaunch of their software  directory and … boom! They DDoSed themselves. In common, the solutions presented by heise are  ugly, but reliable and working. Must be a real beaut, then.
