looks like it

I think Google is down.

I can't log in to Gmail.

Google.co.uk is working

Please try again in 30 seconds. That’s all we know.

Jinx.

You owe me a Coke because I didn't work as hard as you did.

Sounds logical.

looks like Google.com is suffering some sort of illness

I get errors from the Play store too.

Their auth system is down. I can't log into LinkedIn.

9:46 PM

I would post a link to the Logical Song, but YouTube is down.

google.de is working

Does this mean there are like millions of people off of their computers and out in the streets right now?

as is google.nl

I can still synchronize Gmail.

Is this the ultimate flash mob?

9:47 PM

Haha.

@RegDwighт No SuperTramp in chat.

Google.com works for me.

@Robusto indeed! That's the problem.

only the motehrship is down, the drones are still attacking

@Cerberus ah, so it's just the subsidiaries

Okay, I'm glad I'm not the only one having Google issues. "googleapis.com" is intermittent, so is Google Drive.

But Gmail works for me.

Gmail works for me.

@Robusto well it is detailed and technical.

The Google Apps dashboard shows no issues, so far.

Ah! Now I can.

Still no Reddit thread.

I'm back in. Now to try their auth system.

Those people are either sleeping or they are in the streets.

And ... we're back.

9:50 PM

Cokes all around.

So it's still not working.

Ah! Now it is.

@Cerberus it just took a while to reach below sea level.

I suppose.

But going down should be easier.

It still worked for you when it didn't work for others, and then it still didn't work for you when it worked for others. Tell that story to your grandchildren.

Certainly.

Q: Would the first letter of the middle of a name such as Christian de Duve need to be capitalized

9:52 PM

I'm off to drink tea and lie around all sick. Thankfully it's a day off tomorrow.

Lators, or perhaps not.

... if you're beginning your sentence with it? Would it be like, "de Duev notes that the molecular world must necessarily... ", or "De Duev notes that the molecular world must necessarily..."? I'd also like to know why is the middle-name not capitalized in such French/European names?

capitalization

Certainly this is a dupe.

bai!

A: How does the "be-" prefix change the words to which it is applied? How did it come about?
