The website Slashdot is a popular techie site. It is in fact so popular that when news is posted there it usually will swamp the server that the link goes to. Hence the term slashdotted has come to mean that you have had your web server/site swamped because you just got a huge number of hits from a news link on Slashdot. You can see it for yourself at... http://www.slashdot.org Just don't expect to be impressed. ;) -- Brian Ashe CTO Dee-Web Software Services, LLC.
