The 2012 leap second brought down Reddit, Gawker Media, and Mozilla. I won't cry if it does it again. Maybe this time Gawker will stay down.

It won't. We're ready for it this time. There is an easy fix that can be put in place before June 30th. It involves setting up the Linux OS to restart the NTP daemon in slew mode 25-39 hours before the Leap Second occurrence.
Some time after the Leap Second occurs the NTP daemon is restarted in default mode.
