Where is the "Algorithm Justice" on Digg

This one blows me away. Here is a good story from a great source, arstechnica.com. It has been on Upcoming Hot in All for several hours now. It has as of the time of this blog post 218 Diggs and 20 comments. It wasn't shouted or anything like that. Yet, it has been passed over by the following titles with the following number of Diggs:

1) Possibly the Greatest Invention of this Millennium - 25 Diggs, link died after 2 minutes on front page

2) Living Upside-down Shapes Spiders For Energy Saving - 65 Diggs, a good story by a great submitter, but definitely not a better story

3) Fighting with spouse can be good for your health - 25 Diggs, unreliable content

4) Hillary's - 106 Diggs, good source, but what's up with the headline?

5) Bad Fashion - 40 Diggs, picture that isn't exactly Digg front page material. I hate whining, but this is ridiculous. I have 4 stories on the Upcoming sorted by Most, and it looks like this is the only one of them that will hit. Oh well. It's just Digg.
