Double-yoo-tee-eff mang, dev.mysql.com (and apparently mysql.org and mysql.com) have been inaccessible for weeks. I'm glad I downloaded the stupid 5.0 reference manual when I did. I am told I need to use 'www' which, besides being totally stupid, still doesn't work. After some minutes of waiting I receive enough of www.mysql.org to see the title, but if I want to see content I am out of luck, my pity to she who wants to search the docs.
I know I know, it magically works for you but I have still been unable to use the online docs for a couple weeks now. As the Dutch would say, "jeezus christus."
