Default UT and the Slashdot Effect

I see that the today's Soyuz story, "Science: Further Details From Soyuz Mishap", got "Posted by Soulskill on Friday April 25, @04:10PM from the remind-me-never-to-crash-my-spaceship dept" at slashdot.org.

You may have heard of the Slashdot Effect - when a website appers on their site, it can become very, very popular, very fast.

So, how ya doing? Holding up okay? Has this happened before?

I believe it is a sign of success...as long as the servers hold out and the bandwidth charges do not bankrupt you!
