what the fuck????

The Honorary Assistant Secretary of NUSSU, Aaron, had the opportunity of meeting up with the chairman of the CORS task force as well as the vice-dean of FASS, and their response to the problems of CORS is as follows:

Server Crashes
___________________________________________________
It is the result of irrational behaviour by students. NUS specially rents one of the most high-end servers available in Singapore for the entire CORS period for each semester. However, even the most powerful servers will not be able to handle the traffic if everyone decides to log in at the same time. The situation becomes worse when keep logging in and out once they sense a server slowdown because that action in itself, creates even more traffic.

Hey.... what kinda fucked up response is that??? Clearly they are trying to "smoke" thru the situation here and shifting the blame from their incompetent servers to us, the victims. One of the most high-end servers in Singapore??? What brand? From where? what are the technical specifications? This is one of the most fallacious piece of shit i have ever heard. How about having more servers? Of cause everyone is trying to log in at around the same time. We just want to get this damn thing done early in the morning and get on with our lives for the rest of the day. We don't want to spend the whole day in front of the computer screen and constantly clicking the refresh button while at the same time swearing all sorta vulgarities that our dear Army has taught us during our NS days!!!!

sigh...... they never learn do they? Looks like this is gonna be a every semester affair.......
