What's Wrong with Slashdot?

The geek's favorite site, Slashdot, appears to be down again. They had a serious Cisco front end problem a week ago and haven't been stable since.

It's got to be embarrassing as hell when the geeks can't keep their site on the air.

This surely isn't some conspiracy by their corporate parent, VA Linux, to save expenses by cutting back on bandwidth, is it?
