The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@beef.burri.to and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
Hmm.. "Anything you might have done that may have caused the error." Does this mean that their mailserver will be slashdotted too?
The real showdown will be when Norway implements the EUCD directive. Then this verdict could be rather irrelevant as the new laws could make such actions illegal anyway.
"But however much the phone companies may profit from the current situation, it is generally bad business to continue a practice that infuriates the vast majority of your customers."
Why didn't anyone tell the movie and music industries?
I think they should just go ahead and provide a subscription email service. That way, people can get the spam right in their inbox, instead of having to download it through ftp.
How about transforming each http request to the webserver to sound? It would be something like this:

Shada, which was originally planned to conclude Dr Who's 17th season, finds the doctor teaming up with Romana (Lalla Ward) and K9 (John Leeson) in trying to track down the most dangerous book in the universe.
I think someone already did that. I get emails all the time offering "the most dangerous book in the universe" for sale.
So, is the gameplay anything like the previous Dragon's Lair games? IIRC it goes something like this:
space - up - right - left - DOH! space - up - right - right - up - DOH! space - up - right - right - space - left - DOH! space - up - right - right - space - right - down etc...
This really annoys the h#!! out of me... Most mp3-player manufacturers do this. What is the problem with just making a player that acts as an USB hard drive? Why do we need Windows to transfer files through USB?
The characters who appeared in Tom Strong #11 and #12, including Pyroman, Miss Masque, The American Crusader, The Black Terror, the Fighting Yank, and Doc Strange (who bears an uncanny resemblance to Tom Strong himself). In the story, "Terror on Terra Obscura," Strong teamed up with Strange to rescue the heroes, who had been imprisoned by an alien of impossible power.
In the next story, Pyroman teams up with michael to fight the evil webserver hosting the newsarama bulletin board...
Does Microsoft donate to the service as they depend on it for their products to work?
Like if slashdot should donate to every site they link to, since they depend on other sites to work? (On the other hand, they do "donate" to linked sites, if you consider increased traffic a donation. That's great for ad-based sites: "Wohooo! Look at the traffic! We're rich! Wait a minute, why is there blue smoke coming out of our webserver?"
That will be tougher for Sun and Microsoft. Both live and die by licensing fees stemming from their proprietary operating systems. To the extent Linux rises in corporate use, they stand to diminish.
That might be true for Microsoft, but Sun has a huge hardware division. Why should it not be possible for them to follow in IBM and HP's tracks? To say that Sun "live and die by licensing fees" is a bit far fetched...

Mounted on her body are several gizmos, including a laser range finder, sonar equipment, voice-recognition technology and speech generation machinery.
Additionally, the navy version has two mounted General Electric M134 miniguns, triple mine dispensers and dual Stinger surface-to-air missile launchers. It is also rumored to be slightly more ill-tempered than the civilian version.
That's one flirtatious babe! Can't wait to see her "Schmoozing" skills in Acapulco!
Just remember, if she ever offers to give you a lapdance, just say "no". And no touching of heatsinks!
Must be lots of poets out there

From the article:
Almost 50% of the respondents agreed that "When we prepare a program, it's just like composing poetry or music."
So, at least 50% of the respondents are also poets or composers..? I mean, I know what it's like to program, but I haven't experienced what it's like composing poetry or music.

Many potential 'location-based services' can spring from this if the database gets big enough.
...assuming they backed it up before the server melted.

This is always just about the first thing anyone thinks of when planning their new home/soho office.
Yes, that is always the first thing on my mind when planning my new home/small office home office office.

Using PCI host adapters and Xeon processors, engineers at Lawrence Livermore National Labs have achieved 10-TFlops relatively cheaply.
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those! Er... Nevermind.

No it's not. The link works just fine.
Nokia's press release is here, but the server is being battered right now.
Yeah, let's post a link to the press release on Slashdot. That'll help.
The funniest thing I did with NET SEND was to send out a message asking all the single ladies to IM my roommate.
So, did he get laid?

Check out Raritan. They have a wide range of such products. Not sure about prices though.
