easter eggs? in december? moooooooo

I brought up the source in a friend's entry to determine which unclosed element was breaking my friends page and i found this comment:

  <!-- LiveJournal ExpressLane: You received this page before 3 free users! -->

It's nice to know they're wasting a negligible amount of bandwidth on fluffing my paid-user ego.

Since i view source often, and it's the first time i've seen it, that makes me think that they've been screwing me on the ExpressLane. I demand a refund.

It was announced and documented when it was first implemented. What I think is interesting is that they apparently do the database stuff to figure out who you are, early enough in the process that moving you to the head of some kind of queue at that point still makes a difference they think is worthwhile.

I saw a lecture by one of the big-wigs at OSCON talking about their queuing system. Pretty interesting.. I wonder if there are slides online or anything..

The scary thing is that it's all done in perl and mysql.
