Slate.com is currently (2:00am-3:ooam CST) loading very slowly and the webpages look like they’ve been through an HTML hedge clipper – very choppy – claims that the servers are experiencing some “difficulties” – apparently someone is being very selective in their DNS attacks lately or it’s just a co-incidence that several prominent web sites go down for an hour or two and it’s always “the servers” or their software doing something glitchy. C’mon, blackhats, time to take out Baidu!
