GMail Experiences Serious Outage
JacobSteelsmith was one of many readers to note an ongoing problem with Gmail: "As I type this, GMail is experiencing a major outage. The application status page says there is a problem with GMail affecting a majority of its users. It states a resolution is expected within the next 1.2 hours (no, not a typo on my part). However, email can still be accessed via POP or IMAP, but not, it appears, through an Android device such as the G1." It's also affecting corporate users: Reader David Lechnyr writes "We run a hosted Google Apps system and have been receiving 502 Server Error responses for the past hour. The unusual thing about this is that our Google phone support rep (which paid accounts get) indicated that this outage is also affecting Google employees as well, making it difficult to coordinate."
Heh. Post First. Working fine here too (uk).

I care
Before more users jump on the useless non-interesting "working for me"/"not working for me" posts, dont do it. No one really cares.
Well I guess you don't care. However I find it worth noting that over the past week or so I've had intermittent problems logging on to Gmail. Usually lasting no more than 5-10 mins at a time hardly worth noting, until this article. And today, for instance, I was alerted to another situation by the angry cursing of my girlfriend as she attempted to log into her account. Whether it's related or not I do not know. Just figured I would share my experience of the matter.

If you are going to talk about japanese upskirt porn, then at least provide a link. You insensitive clod.
I have one question. If the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture is not in charge of Gundam, then who is?
You ask why the parent was modded funny? See my sig--and karma.
Actually, I did see something funny on /. a few days ago. Oh wait. It was just a link to somewhere else. Doesn't count on the /. credit side.
Maybe /. could have gotten indirect credit, except the moderators were not competent enough to mod the linking post as funny. Sorry, you moron moderators, but I only found it because the poster described it as a funny link.
So you say you read /. for the timely technical news, not the pictures? For this story, you might as well be reading such innovative leaders as the Washington Post, a truly old MSM horse. In tribute to the old meme with the goat, I should post a link to a close up of a gift horse's mouth--but /. isn't worth that much research time.
Nomad said the Enterprise was flawed but could be repaired. Unfortunately /. is clearly beyond the miraculous curative powers of Nomad. I'm sure he'd just pull the plug.

Actually, "y'all" is inherently plural. Contrary to lazy movie writers, "y'all" is almost never used to refer to a single person. I say "almost never" because I have heard it used thusly once or twice. But those are the (very) rare exceptions. Bad bad grammar, if you will.
Foolish Yankees tend to think of "y'all" as some kind of Southern shibboleth, but like any good incantation it must be used in proper context.
Which is not to say that "all y'all'll" is not in common use. But in this case, "all" is used for emphasis, not to indicate plurality.
