Thank god it isn't more serious - imagine a beowulf cluster failing.

The % accuracy of spelling on the web has increased 4% today...

Think of the 'First Post' opportunities when they come back up.

1) Maybe Natalie Portman poured some hot grits on their beowulf cluster and they're now naked and petrified.

2) ???

3) Profit!

WORK? Who can work when we don't know what happened to Slashdot?????

30/04/2008 is most productive day in IT this year.

I didn't actually notice.

George I think you mean nerd and not geek. My theory the biggest difference between geeks and nerds is that geeks bathe.
