Hello.
For the last two days, 22nd and 23rd, I can't log on slashdot.org.
I can get to deja.com and freshmeat.net without problem, I just can't
get on slashdot.org.
Has slashdot been slashdotted, or is it tmnet that is the problem?

They probably just had to take it down for their daily reboot =)
Or perhaps the file system got corrupted again and they had
to run a 10 hour fsck.
Slashdot always has problems, I wouldn't worry much about it.

Nope, they've been Slashdotted. I've had the same problems as you.

It's not the network: it's something weird with their setup.
For the past ~2 weeks, /. has been almost totally unavailable to me.
It's not the network: pings go through with virtually no lag- 20ms at
best, traceroutes are clear. It's not machine load: the machine stats
report that usage is often well under 1, rarely higher than 3.
Other posters on /. have complained as well.

In that case the network would be clogged- it's not. It was very
obvious when Yahoo went down to DoS attacks- my traceroutes simply died
when they got close.

Interesting...
When I was at home, on my cable modem, I couldn't get it at all.
But when I try it from work, on an ADSL, I can get it just fine.
I could ping it from home, so it's not a routing issue.
It's like somebody, somewhere along the line is blocking port 80
or something?
Very strange...

Have you tried ping'ing port 80, or running traceroute on this IP and port. If
these work, telnet onto this port and look at what you get. When this times out
you should get something like:
