Could be; I nominate whoever caused the outbreak of "500 Server Errors" - having finally loaded this page on the fifth attempt. Not sure which of the Slashteam that is, but it's getting irritating as it gets worse; almost every URL I request now produces that result!
I see by the star next to your name that you are a subscriber. Change your URL to https:// and things will work just fine for you.
aHA! Thank you - seems to have solved that problem...
I'll let others chime in on the conspiracy theory that subscribers and https can avoid the 500 errors.
More likely it just bypasses the lousy broken load balancer, getting around whatever the root problem is. I don't think I care either way, as long as it works;-)
i hereby nominate myself, because i keep forgetting that i have neuro problems and therefore have to check everything i do several times over. i doublechecked yesterday but STILL somehow left the iron on when i left for work- arriving home 12 hours later, it was still on. Ceridwen could have burnt herself quite severely- not to mention the apartment could catch fire. Now i'm trying to enforce the habit of checking every outlet in the apartment every time i leave, just to avoid similar potential disasters in

Hmmmm, what to spend it on...I feel like those old Wheel of Fortune contestants back in the early 80s, you know, where their disembodied heads would float over this crazy selection of prizes and they had to pick something out...

Now Sammy, you know what your dear old Ethelred taught you to do when someone calls you a bad name. Call Pa's lawyer and have him file suit like any normal kid.

Ethelred! Sam called me 'Helio' when my name clearly is all one word and has neither spaces nor caps to imply there are seperate words!
Ok, story time. (I recently posted this to another thread)
My mom used to be a lunch lady to children in kindergarden. Our last name is Zimmerman. One day a kid came up to my mom saying "Mrs. Cinnamon, Mrs. Cinnamon! He keeps calling me names! My name is George but he keeps calling me Bill!"
and no i'm not kidding. But since i haven't any idea how old you are- your nephew could be anywhere from 2 to 80. *laugh* the last person i knew named 'ro-ro' was a woman in vermont who did a stand-up comic act that she called a 'one ego show,' that wasn't funny, and in real life, claimed that she'd been 'poisoned' by the light from a computer screen. *shudder* (thanks for the little trip down memory lane... ) just tell me there's no resemblance!
Of course he hasn't been active on/. for a while. But I suppose just because you disagree with someone doesn't really make them an idiot in the true sense of the word. But oh well...

Your status of being an outsider will fill you with enough angst to create such incredibly emotional pieces of art, at which point you will be hailed by all, and circulate in the choicest circles of the very best people, and then, no longer being an outsider, your angst will dry up, and your creativity will stop, so you will remain in the popular group, but some young uppity-up snobs will whisper behind your back that your best work was years ago, and that you've real

I rather expect there to be an impromptu Slashdot Meetup here in March.;-)
I've never went to the CeBIT. Usually it's in the workweek and it's rather hard to get off for that. It would be better if I'd get paid to go there, but what are the odds of that?;-)
