'''[[ED]] is slow''' (not to be confused with [[Special Ed|'Ed is slow']]) is a naturally occurring phenomenon related to the [[fail|inadequacy]] of current [[Internets]] technology vis-a-vis the inability to transmit [[X-box|vast quantities]] of [[lulz]] at high speeds to the masses.

Prima: "ED is slow. Is it getting DDoS'd?"
Secunda: "ED is always slow."

How does ED go down?

It is frequently assumed that ED is under a DDoS attack when these are going around, however it is frequently assumed wrong, because ED is immune to DDoS attacks and is immune to ping and tracert.

Other times you get an error like Guru Meditation or an error like the one below.

Warning: require_once(extensions/youtube.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/ed/wiki/LocalSettings.php on line 243

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'extensions/youtube.php' (include_path='/var/www/ed/wiki:/var/www/ed/wiki/includes:/var/www/ed/wiki/languages:.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/ed/wiki/LocalSettings.php on line 243



However, that is not the real cause. From a purely technical standpoint, when an outage occurs, ED goes down salty. Below is a technical diagram.



ED almost dies. Too bad it didn't.
