    BTW, what's with all these slashdot server errors?????

    Apparently, Slashdot posted a story about the changes they were making to the slashcode. Unfortunately, they included a self-referential link. Hence, slashdot was slashdotted. :-)

    I doubt that this will be resolved by telstra if threatened with action; action will have to be taken.

    I think we should give the inpectors more time!
