I believe I saw somewhere that slashdot is having issues at present.  

Ah, googling slashdot having issues brings me this.

We've been having site performance/uptime issues including a DDOS earlier
in the week (Slashdotted?). DevOps working round the clock until we're back
at full capacity. No ETA but hopeful for sometime Saturday. Rumors of our
demise are greatly exaggerated. Thanks for your patience 

that was from their twitter page.
