According to Wikipedia there are already quite a few projects doing DbC:

Java, via iContract2, Contract4J, jContractor, Jcontract, C4J, CodePro Analytix, STclass, Jass preprocessor, OVal with AspectJ, Java Modeling Language (JML), SpringContracts for the Spring framework, or Modern Jass, Custos using AspectJ,JavaDbC using AspectJ, JavaTESK using extension of Java.

Do we really need an entirely new one? If none of those are sufficient, why not build on top of and improve an existing project? Starting over is not always a good thing...

Journal Journal: First Journal Entry

Journal by kwelndar on Friday November 10, 2006 @03:45AM

Well, this is my very first Slashdot Journal entry, and most likely my last. It's not because I have anything to say, mainly just to see whether the entry shows up on my main user page. Hopefully no one will read this, because it would be an absolute waste of anyone's time. It's already wasted too much of my time just to type the stupid thing, so I'm outta here.

You are correct, sir! Or at least very close as far as I'm concerned. The actual reference is to the mailbox at the closing of Zork, when after finding all the treasure, you return to West of House and see the mailbox from the intro to complete the adventure. Ah, one of my favorite childhood memories.

Check out the Gmail Help Center for the answer

From the linked answer: The Gmail Team is currently testing a new feature called 'Gmail Clips,' which provides users access to news, blogs, and other information within their Gmail accounts, using RSS/Atom feeds. Currently, a small number of randomly selected users are testing the feature, but it may become more widely available in the future.

Sounds like "Gmail Clips" would be somewhat different than what I saw of Google Reader.

On another note, I don't believe that the slow (non-existant?) response times from Google Reader are from a slashdotting. Turns out, I was looking at it before the post on /. and it was slow then. Perhaps digg.com readers contributed? Who knows. Anyway, it was slow to begin with. Give them a few days to notice their web logs and I'm sure they'll beef up the load balancing in front of reader.
