6. After that, I got

THE LARGE PRINT EDITION.

Just had my computer fixed and I thought it was my problem.

[lpbk2713]

4. It took me several attempts

over a span of 30 minutes.

[salinen]

7. Whenever this happens

I think this administration or Freepers are involved. Paranoid I guess. (Elmer Fudd expression)

[Webster Green]

8. Me too....

Thought it was my computer, shut down & restarted, didn't help.

Seems OK now.

[PartyPooper]

10. Me, too. I almost gave up for the evening. Ouch!

But, I tried *one* more time. Glad someone posted this problem.

:-)

[lucidmadman]

5. Yes...

...I was active here about a year ago, and now I am again and I don't remember this kind of stuff. Anyone know what the deal is?

[JohnKleeb]

9. Great so its not just me and another person

[populistmom]

11. Yes

Although probably the cosmos way of telling me I should go to bed.

[bookman]

12. Yes, but...

..seems ok now.

[solinvictus]

13. Yes....and

every time it happens, I wonder if the Bushistas have shut us down.

[Clark4VotingRights]

17. That always occurs to me too.

Sometimes though the mods are installing a surprise...

Is there a new feature somewhere???

[madrchsod]

14. did this last night

about the same time..who knows??

[MGKrebs]

15. Yeah, which late night conservative hack radio

punk mentioned us this time?



edited to add a missing wmd, oops, I mean word.

[Clark4VotingRights]

16. Yeah! I assumed it was 'cause I was downloading something else

in parallel.
Guess not.
Hm.

[Webster Green]

18. Aaaaaarggg!... Its happening again....

Whats up?

[dweller]

19. what's that a burp?

after the initial dead space?

initially i had just posted a thread with 'attack Bush' as part of the subject, then couldn't get right back on it to edit it...man, that made me wonder if Carnivore or something had picked it up...spent 30 minutes trying to get back on the site and considering deleting files in the meantime.

[Webster Green]

22. I was on the front deck looking for black helicopters..

All Clear! :tinfoilhat: :scared: :shrug:

[Clark4VotingRights]

23. Dunno...

Sunspots?

[Cleita]

20. I had another invasion of spyware today.

I thought maybe that is why it was slow. Anybody else?

[Leilani]

21. Yes

I had trouble several times tonite...figured it was Freep humor.

[aquaman]

24. Yes.......

I thought I was more intoxicated than I really was. Thanks for letting me know that I wasn't crazy.

[mvd]

25. A couple hours ago, I couldn't get the pages to load

So yes, I also have.

[Paragon]

26. Relax - admins already said they're updating software

I love the "DOS attack" concerns - in the unlikely event of a DOS attack, we'll know. (Lots of dittoheads trying to access the site when Rush tells them to is NOT "a DOS attack".)

[Wonk]

27. Um, yeah... Sept 23rd, '03.... btw, I know what a DOS attack is.

The phrase "DOS attack" is thrown around so much around here - I still don't think anyone here knows what one really is. Ask Skinner what would really happen if we got a legit DOS attack.
