Something is definitely rotten here.

I've never seen whois report two registrars, especially one that says
"SLASHDOT.ORG.SUCKS.COMPARED.TO.JIMPHILLIPS.ORG"
I also noticed that traceroutes to both slashdot and freshmeat went
through 64.14.80.154, then stopped at that point.
I'd guess that some cracker broke something somewhere? Maybe a
DNS crack? Maybe Andover went bankrupt and pulled the plug
on us? Maybe Micro$oft is behind this?
It sort of illustrates the hazards of having all the open-source
eggs on one server farm....
