Google and YouTube are having some issues. (YT has a server in LA, probably near DH's neighborhood.) Of course, it also doesn't help that China is being a real <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/02/15/oly.beijing.spielberg.ap/index.html" rel="nofollow">Internet troll this week</a>, and not just <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/03/07/china.hackers/index.html" rel="nofollow">their hackers</a>. When a medium size country like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzLPKuAOe50" rel="nofollow">Pakistan blocks internet traffic</a> it causes a ripple effect through out the internet. Sort of like a 40 car pile up. But when a big country like China does something stupid like block out alot of websites, it's like a 100 car pile up.

It just oozes fakeness, and I can hardly tell most North American accents - aside from obvious ones like Texas or New "Yoik" apart (despite being Canadian). Arnie’s accent is getting sooooo American.

This leads to servers being slow or even crashing. If you want a host that doesn't oversell I recommend WebFaction. You get a bit less diskspace (but more than you probably need anyway) but the speed and stability gain is well worth it.
