7 Linking to a bug where you make crazed comments about how bugs isn't
8 fixed!!!!1111oneone and that dammit someone should do something
9 now!!!1111 doesn't really help your case.

11 I bet if I was infra I'd be wondering what my options were since:
12
13 bugs is a pretty critical part of developing; AND
14 you can't just host it anywhere; AND
15 the hardware needed for it to perform is expensive; AND
16 they did not know what the problem was at first
17
18 As in, you don't just grab the first dual proc system that was offered
19 out of some guys basement to host bugs on. You need a dedicated host
20 who will stick around and provide good support should something go
21 wrong. You need expensive hardware ( I believe we got a blade server
22 with 3 blades in it, which is fscking expensive if you haven't priced
23 one out before ). So once again, chill out. They are working on it.
24
25 And yes bugs is slow and yes it sucks, but bitching about it doesn't
26 accomplish anything :x
