gmail and slashdot unavailable...
« on: July 19, 2004, 01:58:58 pm »
I just find this kind of wierd... maybe it's just me.  But at this moment, I'm getting an error when trying to access gmail

Code: [Select]
Server Error

Gmail is temporarily unavailable. Cross your fingers and try again in a few minutes. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

And I'm getting the following error when trying to get to slashdot:

Code: [Select]
503 Service Unavailable

The service is not available. Please try again later.

I'm sure it's all unrelated.. but is something strange going on?

Gmail is the best email program around. Anybody who knows something about computers knows that gmail does NOT read inside your email, its just a bunch of lies. If they did read inside your email they would be breaking the law. I  have gmail and all they do is search for keywords (a computer does this; based on the page your viewing.) and display adds based on those keywords.
