I noticed that too. It seemed to be down for awhile.
Server overload. Had to reboot.
stupid servers.....
Please be advised that the board may be offline for a short period between 1-5 AM tonight. One of the RAID array drives is faulty and will be replaced by the server hosting company some time during that time slot.
Sherry pulled the plug?
That's what happens when there are 10 Tiger Stadium thread debates going on at the same time. :DQuote:

Does this site have its own server?
Am I the only one who loves when these guys go all geekspeak techy / jargony on us?
Go on now, someone . . . ask 'em about DTV signal strength or mobile authenticator applications or open-source video streaming.
. . . Feed us non-engineers m-o-r-e of your sweet, secret sauce laced with Linux.
I just love how every tech person thinks he\she is smarter than the next. Every time there's an issue, you see 30 suggestions from people who have no idea what the underlying situation is.
It is true that techies are often an arrogant bunch like Nick Burns. Excuse the quality - better quality at the NBC site http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Li...ck-burns/2786/.Quote:

The simple fact is that today almost anyone curious and somewhat independent minded can spend a little time online learning a lot about most technologies. Granted, initially the knowledge attained will likely amount to no more than a wiki or cliff-notes level of knowledge. The information is out there though, if one is curious enough and has the time.

Always zombies, except maybe sometimes in an election year.
