If you’ve had trouble accessing the site in the last couple of days, sorry about that. Scienceblogs.com has been under a cross-site script attack for a while, and we only recently figured out what was going on. Efforts are underway to deal with the problem. We’re re-targeting the orbital mind control lasers even as I type…
Unfortunately, an attempt at a quick-and-dirty fix for the problem last night rather comprehensively broke the server. It seems to be better now– knock on wood-finish particle-board desk top.
The server difficulties destroyed a couple of posts that I was working on this morning (I do my blogging before work, and schedule things to appear during the day), so there won’t be much here today. I did manage to get a review of Chris Mooney’s book up, though, so you have that to look forward to.
Anyway, here’s a comment thread for you to talk about… whatever. What’s the worst script-attack story you know? What would be an appropriate punishment for the script kiddie responsible for this, keeping in mind that the orbital mind control lasers don’t exist?
I would point out that intertial confinement fusion lasers *do* exist….
